REVIEW: Survival Resources Aqua Pouch 1 Liter

One can quickly die of thirst in an emergency situation. But what do you do if you have no container for transporting water and the nearest water source is far away? The small company Survival Resources from the USA offers all sorts of useful things for survival or preparedness, including their own product "Aqua Pouch 1L". MArtin tested it for you.

Even the smallest foldable bottle cannot compete with the Aqua Pouch when it comes to size for storage. Issue: The closure. Typically, every foldable bottle has a screw closure, which of course seals perfectly. The Aquapouch, on the other hand, has a zipper closure, similar to the Aloksak, which is used by various units of the US Armed Forces. However, the Aqua Pouch has only a single closure like a traditional zip bag, not double like the Aloksak. But it doesn't need to be, as the goal is to trap water and not keep it out.

The pouch is made of very durable PVC (food-safe) and can be folded to the size of a cigarette pack. When folded, the pouch is only a few millimeters thick and can be perfectly stored almost anywhere.

Above the zipper closure, there are two eyelets to carry or hang the bag with a piece of cord.

Unfolded, the Aqua Pouch measures 16.5cm x 25.4cm and can stand alone (when filled) due to the bottom construction. It is also suitable for purifying the carried water directly in the bag with purification tablets. On the outside, there is a fill line that indicates the 1-liter mark. So you also have an makeshift measuring cup.

The large opening allows for easy cleaning and even carrying snow that can be melted under clothing through body heat.

CONCLUSION: The Aqua Pouch is a small and helpful piece of equipment that fits comfortably in any survival kit or in the pants leg pocket. This way, you always have an emergency container for transporting water on hand. Even if the zipper closure is not 100% tight, it is sufficient to transport water safely - better to lose a few milliliters than nothing at all.

You can get the Aqua Pouch directly in the USA at Survival Resources for $6.95
