Got these 4 1/2 gallon (17 litre) camp shower bags, and fitted them into backpacks. Between me and a buddy that's 9 gallons ( 34 litres ) of water hands free. He laughed at me when I showed him afterwards he thought differently. I did have to cut a hole at the bottom of the backpack.

If you have to bring water in you will hate life in about 3 weeks if you last that long. I always have irrigation on timers. Even when I have to water by hand with 5 gallon buckets it gets hard. But if you have other choice then continue to do what ever you can at least you will be fit and won't take that smoke for granted. I only do my guerrila grows for the experience of being outside. So as long as it's not work you'll never lose no matter the outcome.

I only grow 15 plants directly in to ground last year I didn't have to water at all. I only water when there young, after they get a foot high (not even) I don't bother. We haven't had rain in the 2 weeks since I put my seedlings out.

I've built some rain catchers with trash cans and tarps. I also use ponds, creeks, rivers and old cow troughs. But mostly I just truck well water in as far as I can. . . . . . . From there it's just me, 4 one gallon jugs in the backpack and a five gallon bucket in each hand. I really like it when it rains. With 60 odd plants, they are not going to be getting TLC. I have one patch of three plants {so far} that gets all the water it needs. All of the others are on some point along the Darwin Dope Spectrum. #survivalofthedankest

Like Larry.i use a tarp as a catchment feeding a 240litre plastic bin (that has a potato sack on top to filter and camo from air).

I have and am (my season hasnt started) refilling wine cask bladders with water from my catchment. Take a heap up empty as they take up no room and are light and fill em up from my full catchment then camo and hide. Months to go before planting so the catchment will re fill no probs.

Im an hrs walk, up hill in the main to get in so carrying water in is not a fantastic option.
