Hiya. New member, first post.

I'm looking for a source for something I've read about called a Milbanks Bag, or Millbank Bag. It's used to filter sediment out of water to be treated and seems to be some kind of tightly woven canvas bag. If it helps, the information I have about it describes it as being used in British Army survival kits.

Any information on how to obtain one in the United States or even make one would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Alex

Hi there
Milbank bags has cropped up before on this forum. Try searching for Milbank on the forum search.
However I don't think anyone found a supplier in the US.
