>Now the Desert Bag! >Anybody seen one for sale anywhere lately? >Ciao, >Phaedra > Oh I remember those too! The ones I used had a red and black printed picture of a cowboy type guy drinking from the bag and I'm almost sure a camel!. The brand name escapes me, "Camel", "Dromedary"???
The last ones I saw had red plastic "hardware" on it. I really want to find one again, my only regret is that Vanagons don't have fenders/wings to attach the bag to, making even a local trip look like an expidition.
On a related subject, I use an US army surplus canvas bucket for hauling water etc when Westy camping. Big green one, about 5 gal. It is, as she says, a very good thing. I got it at "John's Army Surplus" store here in Victoria (on View near Douglas). They don't have any more US buckets, but do have (and I bought one immediately I saw it) slimmer and smaller French army surplus canvas buckets. Can$5.95 each.
