Anyone know of small pump hand
or battery that will syphon off
a shallow water source. Where I
elk hunt only water is over a mile
from camp and this year plan to
haul unfiltered water in separate
containers to camp and filter it
in camp. Thank you!

KC ~ got one of those and will use in camp. Just takes too long
to do much volume.
GURU ~ the bilge pump from Zoro looks great but huge 26 inches?
The Beckson bilge pump at 18" is a possibility.
Thanks guys, appreciate it!

There are lots of small bilge pumps available. Most run off a 12v system, but I think I recall some D-cell units for canoes, etc.
Just googled "battery bilge pump" and a lot of stuff came up.

A small hand bilge pump for kayaks would get around the battery issue, but they are kind of bulky.

N2mywake -
A pump.
I use a quality filter pump but it takes too much time away
from hunting. I take my mules in 4 miles only pre season with my camp
and do not travel back home for them till meat in the tree.
Desert hill country with only good water 2 miles in further than 4 mile camp not the best to get the animals to. So I pack as many bottles in back back back to my 4 mile camp. Very arid country I need min one gallon a day and would like to stash 1/2 dozen gallons in case I need to have bare min for mules one evening.

JOCKC~
I think your search suggestion may work.
I will post what I decide on. Soon to mule
Pack in feed to stash and may have time to
backpack a few gallons of unfiltered
water to camp. I found some trick Swedish
army surplus poly lined canvas bags that
each may take 1.5 gallons each. Thanks

Purchased a Seatle Sports "super Deluxe Bilge Pump".
8 gallons per minute, 11 3/8 ounces plus rubber tubing.
Thanks Guys I like the idea better than battery
contraption! Will boil some, filter some in camp.

Have used the pump from my Zodi camp shower. Coffee filter to keep pump clear.
Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.
