So they thought, why not start to make their own!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMeet the Forest Fundamentals Millbank Bag! Similar proportions to the original British forces bags, however, after some testing, they made a few design changes including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe materials: The bags are handmade using a high-density 12oz unbleached Cotton canvas. Unbleached Cotton canvas is made from natural cotton fibers and has not been subjected to the chemical bleaching process. For additional strength and durability, they have used V69 3ply Bonded Polyester Thread. The same thread is used in high-quality tents and backpacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eOverlock double switching has been used on all of the seams for added strength and to avoid any raw edges. The overlock stitching also provides another layer of filtering. This Millbank bag is larger than some other designs, making it possible to process larger amounts of water at once. The instructions and logo are printed onto the bag using waterproof, non-toxic dye so there is no chance of it washing off after use\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Millbank bag comes with a 1M long 550lb ‘Survival Cord’ lanyard which includes strands of copper wire, fishing line, waxed jute, and parachute cord. This multi-purpose card is invaluable in the field and has a range of uses including repairing shoelaces, fishing, snares, shelter building, and more. The super-long lanyard also makes it possible to hang the bag close to the collection device, avoiding any possible spillage caused by the bag swaying in strong winds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlso included is a 210D Nylon waterproof drawstring carrying bag and a detailed instructions card. The pouch makes it possible to transport the bag after use without soaking the inside of your pack! Strapping the Millbank bag to the outside of your pack is a great way to dry the bag on the move. The carrying bag also doubles as a great emergency tinder pouch!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring testing, Forest Fundamentals explored different bag shapes and materials to boost the filtration rate while ensuring complete detritus removal from the water. They found that expanding the filtration point quickened the process. Subsequent assessments with turbidity meters revealed that this faster filtration did not compromise the bag's ability to filter out detritus, provided the material of the bags was kept the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is a Millbank Bag?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA Millbank Bag is a highly effective water filtration device designed to remove detritus from water.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThese detritus include sand, mud, silt, or other suspended particulate matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eEnsuring the removal of all detritus from the water before proceeding with further sanitation is of the utmost importance. Even in the absence of waterborne diseases, turbid water can still cause irritation and harm to the digestive system\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e. Prioritising the filtration of impurities is crucial for obtaining safe and clean drinking water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt’s essential to note that a Millbank bag will not effectively filter out pathogenic organisms unless they are attached to the detritus being filtered. Additional sanitation methods, such as chemical or heat sterilisation are required to ensure the water’s safety. If your water source is already clear and free from detritus, using the Millbank bag may not offer significant advantages. However, few of us are lucky enough to find such pristine water sources in the wilderness! Hence, the Millbank bag still remains a fundamental part of any outdoors person’s water purification systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forest Fundamentals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58224243016063,"sku":"FF-MBB-01","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/0228\/5048\/files\/white1_1024x1024_44923d55-4efc-4276-95ba-bcf45342cc9e.jpg?v=1790066751"},{"product_id":"forest-fundamentals-stealth-fire-starter","title":"Forest Fundamentals Stealth Fire Starter","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForest Fundamentals Mission:\u003c\/strong\u003e To design an all-inclusive compact and lightweight fire starter that simplifies fire lighting in all weather conditions, to make fire lighting in the field as dependable and efficient as possible, ensuring it can be relied upon when you need it most!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• THE FERRO ROD:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ferro Rod is extremely thick, and allows for up to 20,000 strikes.
