A survival kit item you may have missed
It is often the case that the simpler the piece of kit the more useful and dependable it is: a compass is more reliable than a GPS, the simplicity and cutting ability of a parang makes it superior to the less suited multifunctionality of a Leatherman, a basic hammock is better suited to the jungle than the most luxurious of tents…
One piece of kit I carry on my EDC (Every Day Carry) belt is such a simple and basic item and yet it is something that solves that important problem of how to carry more water when you have a cut-down EDC setup that doesn’t include large water bladders or extra water bottles.
This item is the Maxpedition Rollypolly dump bag and, in the video below, is a quick review of it and a demonstration of how it can be used to carry an extra 3 litres of water.
I am sure its getting harder for you to make videos but they are all worth taking the time to watch.
Hi Henry,
Many thanks for the comment (and understanding) and your kind words of support. It is getting harder to find the time to do the videos but I try to get some done when I can – I haven’t been camping for so long now I might forgotten how to do it!
Cheers!

a very usefull item indeed
Thanks Vladimir
Cheers!

Hello Paul,
I agree that is a very useful one, even if it absorb a lot of water and takes times to dry!
While going lighter over time it was one of the hardest items to take off my list.
Even now I’d like to have one while walking in the rainforest, under the right conditions (gear for tropical vagabondage, not gear exclusively for junglecrafting)
Hope things have been easier on you lately 🙂
Hi Wawa,
Great to hear from as always and thanks for the comment – and I know what you mean about going lighter – it inevitably requires you to leave out some items you’d rather not! Things still crazy busy here but there’s a new year round the corner, so fingers crossed!
Cheers!
Paul
