Best of luck with your projects and adventures, thanks for watching.
We used canvas bags in the 50's for are radiators here in the States.. Good info as always.
Cheers John, they are a very robust piece of kit.
We used to have these in the 80s in Zimbabwe. I don't see them anymore so I decided to search on TH-cam and I finally found it.
I am going to get one for when I am out in the bundu. Thanks
The only reason I drink Kimberley cold beers is to maintain a 38*C body temp 😂
In my younger days, water bags on cars were a very common item. Back then the 'spout' of the bag was of porcelain construction as I recall, and everyone drank from the same bag !!, . . . how did we get this far ??!! :-)). I suspect that the primary reason they were used back then was for topping up errant radiators, and drinking from them was secondary, although, depending on your location, and season, the roles would be reversed. The fascination for hydration hadn't been invented then !!. They were fitted with leather straps for hanging on the chrome plated mounts available specifically for that purpose, and were generally bolted to the front 'Bumper Bar', and to see them on vehicles wasn't considered out of the ordinary by any means. Thanks for the memory refresher. Take care and stay safe, Cheers.
Hi BigKev.How did we get this far? Good question 😀
Glad you enjoyed the video Kev, the chrome mounts you mentioned, I have placed some similar mounts on the Series 3. Kind regards Geoff
I saw a water bag in the classic film, Sunday too far away.
Imagine not being in rainy lockdown germany having a land rover in the garden, but in sunny australia making nice videos
We are lucky. We do not need a water bag. Just open the mouth and look up. 😄
We are more then happy to trade you some sunshine 🌞
I hung one on the front of my Landrover going up the Stuart Hwy back in December 1971. I thought that someone must have stolen it when I got to Coober Pedy. But then I noticed a few shreds of canvas still hanging on the bullbar. Lesson learned, next tim hang it a little higher. It gave me a real appreciation of how much gravel is thrown forwards off the wheels.
Mine also takes about 4 days to seal.
Your channel helps me evolve from using technology that forces a state (compressor fridge, air conditioner, lighting, winching even, etc) and instead better understand physics to do the same or close using with less tech.
Hi Roland. Really glad to hear the content hear it helping you to refine your kit for that next big adventure. Kind regards Geoff

I’m no doc but if your temp is 38 than you have a fever. Normal temp is on average 36.6.
Used them out in The Great Sandy as a young fella. Great idea but unfortunately the water never stops tasting like a water bag, even if boiled in a billy.
Hi Ross. Very true, I fine the cotton bags much better to drink from. Though as you know there is some pretty average water out there to begin with haha. Kind regards Geoff
Greetings Geoff. Beware those leather straps holding the bag to the bull bar. They don’t last long and you’ll lose your classy modification. Some dirty old rope adds a nice touch and far more reliable.
Thanks for the tip Mr Foreman, you could say it adds to the rustic charm . Cheers Geoff
G'day Mr. Foreman !!!!!
It took about 4 days for mine to stop leaking. It took me a long time to find one.
Well Geoff, I don`t actually need cold water right now , as the temperatur here in Norway are -21`c ( and `sinking`), but we hope for better temp , in about 6 mnd. time :-)
Good video and keep on :-)
We will have to do a sequel “how to warm water” haha. Cheers and thanks for watching Runa.
Good day i bought one of those water bags its stil in its plastic bag how do one start to use it for the first time break it in as it is? Thank you.
I would recommend soaking it for a few days in fresh clean water to allow the canvas to expand, it may take one or two goes. Cheers Geoff
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia Thank you Geoff go well.
Has anyone found a cotton one for sale anywhere? Can only find canvas bags..
Hi James. There is a link in the content section below the video to a website where you can buy one. Cheers Geoff
G'Day Geoff - I Know This Is An Old Video For You, But Would Bee's Wax Seal These Things Up When They Won't Stop Leaking ?
Hi Michael
The best thing is to soak them and let them dry out several times. They can take up to a week to seal up properly. I wouldn’t use bee’s wax and it sadly won’t solve the issue long term. Cheers Geoff
I want one, but can't get hold of these in the UK sadly, any help guys please
Hi Bill. I have placed a link below to where you can buy one from. Cheers Geoff
