A simple tool I have used for over 20 years that should be in everyone's water supply tool kit. I have primarily used this to transfer water from my 55gal water drums to my cistern at my cabin, but have also used it to pull water from stream/river pools and lake water to use for boiling wash water. If you don't have one, I highly recommend spending a couple bucks and just toss it in the "I'll be glad I have it when I need it" stack of stuff. It's one of those simple things you hope the guy that came up with it made a million bucks from it. It was the first thing I bought to put in my TT supply kit and will be kept with my fresh water supplies. I got mine (four pack) at Walmart but see them on Amazon, eBay and Harbor Frieght; most listings have it already connected to hose.
