Hauling Water

[Jeremy Leaf]

I'm getting all packed up for Mule deer season and face the same issue as every year with water.  The last few years we have hauled it on a wagon with big inflatable tires the 8 mile treck to our hunting spot.  I have a good water filter system but where we go is pretty dry and what water is there is usually froze.  Anybody got a slick way to haul about 10 gallons of water over rough terrain?  Quads are not allowed and I don't own a horse or any pack animals.

Trail or closed road?

Most of the way is a very narrow trail.  I can't even fit a deer cart on it.

This might work?

You can get the collapsible water containers.  I have one that is 5 gallons.  But I'm on the wetside so even when I go alpine I only have to carry it for about 3 miles to a good stream.  The one I have is coleman.

Thanks for the replies guys.  The colapsable tank idea is sounding really good.  Just talked to a guy down the street that uses the liners from those boxes of wine.  He showed me one and I have to say it's a pretty cool idea.   I am making this trip with a sprained ankle (Done last week) so packing light is a must.  We have decided to carry just drinking water in and hope like heck we can find water to take a spnge bath or two while up there.  Otherwise we will each have a box of unscented baby wipes and Scent Away wipes.  Good luck to everyone and stay safe.

ive set up trashbags on the ground to catch drips and rain water. then pour it in a collapsible water bag ,  melt ice. anything is better than humping it in

And you can use them for a pillow in an emergency as well!!

.................water wieghs 8.3 lbs per gallon, if I remember right. So you'll be carrying 80.3 lbs of water up to camp on ?

We usually take 10 gallons to this spot which lasts 5 days cooking drinking and a few sponge baths.  We haul it in a wagon with nice big inflatable tires.  I works pretty well but I was just hoping to find a better way.
