Millbank Bag | Water Filtration Bag | Bushcraft, Survival, Military | Handmade Bag in UK | Forest Fundamentals™

Top quality bag from Forest Fundamentals, Love the fact is has the instructions for use printed on the side of it, perfect for someone who may not know how to use it in a situation where the main user can’t. Nice little carry pouch as well, Highly recommend

Nice water filter. I wanted this for wild camping and preparedness. Nice clear instructions. Not used yet. FYI this is only the first stage of filtration and you will need a filter or purification tabs after you have used this.

A trusted way to filter large impurities from water. Filtered water still needs water purification tablets.

Absolutely fantastic quality never used but great carry bag with it lovely size bag looking forward to using this

We always take the Millbank bag wild camping but water situation has not yet been poor enough to require pre-filtering. It looks well made, and I am certain that when it is pulled into service it will do the job. Or you can keep your Lego in it.

I used my Millbank bag for the first time at the weekend. I followed the instructions first, by wetting and rubbing the bag throughly. I then filtered water from a chalk stream. It was beautifully clear water anyway, but after filtering it the bag did contain some slime/alge and other detritus. The water was boiled for purification and tasted clean. The tea I made was better than my home tap water. The bag was dried by attaching it to the outside of my rucksack. Once home, I turned it inside out and brushed it and then pegged it on my washing line to be sanitized by the sunshine. Top quality, small, light, useful. Very good value.

Great product used for initial stage of cleaning up water colected from a flowing stream or non domestic source. Design based on military issue. Really well made, suspect it will last a lifetime. My primary use is to stop the Sawyer Squeeze water filter filments getting blocked so quickly by microscopic dirt particles. Used together they can provide confidence but also suggest to carry a few water purification tabs or take collected water to a rolling boil. I learnt the hard back in the 70's never to trust any outdoor water source.

As soon as this product arrived I knew it was quality. Good materials, quality manufacturing etc etc. At first I was worried its 'tacticle' style would not fit in with the look of my more traditional kit. But I must say it looks very smart and feels like ut belongs in my pack. Tested it yesterday and worked a treat using the easy to follow instructions. Tested in a pretty brown river the water came out clear. After boiling I drank it and it was fine, no silt just good fresh water. Very pleased with this product as well as a few other bits I have bought from Forest Fundamentals over the years!

Grande. Algodón muy tupido. Con todas las instrucciones en la bolsa (ingles) para no depender de papeles. Viene con funda de transporte. Me gusta pero me parece caro.

Pleased..been looking for a while. Well made..excellent instructions.

Les coupures d’alimentation en eau du réseau domestique sont assez courantes chez moi. Plutôt que d’acheter et stocker des bouteilles d’eau, j’ai préféré m’équiper d’un système de filtration me permettant de m’approvisionner dans les points d’eau autour de chez moi : sources, étangs, etc. Afin de prolonger la vie de mon filtre Sawyer, il me fallait un moyen de préfiltration. C’est ce que fait ce sac. Et il le fait très bien ! Ce modèle est basé sur celui qui était en dotation dans les forces armées britanniques. Il s’agit d’un simple sac en toile de coton à la trame très serrée.La mise en ouevre est facile. Après avoir cassé les fibres du sac en le malaxant longuement et soigneusement dans l’eau, il suffit de le remplir à fond, et de laisser couler l’eau jusqu’au trait de repère afin de rincer la paroi du sac. Puis on dépose un récipient sous le sac pour collecter l’eau clarifiée, Très franchement, en remplissant le sac sous le robinet de l’évier et en voyant à quelle vitesse l’eau s’écoulait, j’ai cru que j’avais gaspillé mon argent. J’ai donc fait un test chez moi en préparant dans un seau tout rouillé un véritable bouillon de culture, puis j’ai versé le contenu dans le sac. Et j’ai été stupéfait : regardez la photo et comparez l’eau avant et après ! Je n’en revenais pas. C’est nettement mieux, et de loin, que mes essais avec des moyens de fortune, bandana, torchon, chapeau de brousse, housses diverses et variées et j’en passe. Outre son efficacité indéniable , ce produit a en outre l’immense avantage d’être simple à mettre en oeuvre et à entretenir : on rince et on laisse sécher. Il a une durée de vie théoriquement illimitée. Le tout pour un tarif raisonnable. C’est donc un gros 5 étoiles que je lui attribue.

Un prodotto decisamente valido ben costruito con un prezzo buono. Da portare sempre in escursione per contenere frutti selvatici oppure filtro acqua anche per sciogliere neve.

This millbank bag is exceptional and works wonderfully for pre-filtering turbid water sources before running the water through your final filtration system--great way to save your filters! The bag is nice, well made, filters nicely, but is pretty expensive when compared to other options that work just as well. $20.00 isn't going to break the bank, but this product does cost almost double that of other options that work just as well for pre-filtering. That said, you do get bushcrafty bragging rights of saying that your millbank bag was "handmade in the UK." And if you say this with an English accent while carving a feather stick, you will surely impress your friends with a definite cool factor that isn't available with just any 'ole millbank bag.
