HG..
Can you dig? To stay up with the receeding swamps?..I know it must DRY up pretty good over there,but if you start as the water goes down can you still get to water say>>On the dry side?..I see you got the tools..My swamps dry up also but I start digging{at angel}Not straight down as the water dries up to access the water under ground..You can hide that dirt better than you can hide a 1000 gal blue kiddy pool I would think. That sounds like a lot of work. when a GG'er can go a easier way in the bush is always a plus..
Don't know your situation,but I would figure how to get to that water!!
Good Luck!! <ws>

hi wolfshado thanks for taking interest. i am doing some in the swamp and another few plots up in a deep mountain ravine. these pathces will be on the sides of the ravine slopes on naturally occuring terraces. this limits the human traffic since its a little dangerouse and definately exhausting to clim down the sides of the ravine to get to the plot. the kiddy pool was for this area so i can store the water that flows in the stream. some years it dries up, some years not. in the winter there is so much water everywhere, and i wanted to take advantage of that abndance with the pool as a storage for the dry months of summer.

you are right that its going to stand out.
i am strongly considering to dig some 200 gallong holes lined with plastic to store water instead of the pool. these holes can be dug right next to the stream so to facilitate filling them up easily by digging a small diversion channel from the stream directly to my hole. they would be more like small man made ponds dotting the side of the stream. this area is shaded always thus minimal evaporation.

if i do go with the pool, i will definately document it well since i think that for those who are searching for a portable water reservoir that can e hauled in to the bush discretely, in a backpack, these pools are definately the cheapest option. 1000 GALLON FOR 50 BUCKS

A pump that does 10GALLON per minute with 30 feet head(vertical lift)
the attery that can run this pump for 2 HOURS attery will be chareged at home

thats a mini shovel at 5O cm in length it fits in a bac pack and its much more solid than i folding camping shovel

the ravine i mentioned my spot is down the slope. at the bottom of valley is this tream

[HIMALAYAN GANJA]

i plan to dig waterholes or ponds or whatever one may call them, all along this tream in random spots. normally they would look naturally occuring and not draw attention. any way this vally is 30minutes walk from my back door! i luv it! so no getting busted haulling harvest home. and to get to the vally one must walk up steep trails, very exhauting and not appealing to a person who has no specific reason to go up there. i would never go through the trouble of clibing up there if it wasnt to do my patch. normal cars or jeeps cannot get there. only forest department special mountain vehicles can drive on these trails.

where i live the onlypeople that might venture deep into the woods and mountains, are hunters. here 90 percent of hunters are elderly gentlemen, retired men. these people mostly prefer to hunt in convenient spots where they can acces by their own car then walk abit into the brush on a horizontal trail. most of them will not wish to lug their aging bodies through difficult terrain.

this pools is thousand gallons and ery cheap to buy. i am ery much considering to use this to have a reserve of water in the case that the strem runs dry in july

Not a bad idea I would throw a camo tarp over it when in use and keep it in the shade.

[HIMALAYAN GANJA]

yes sir camo over the pool. it could be spray painted, or painted y hand a nice brown/green camo. or throw brown tarp over it then place branches, leaves and rock ontop so it just loos like a slight rise in the forest floor. if i use it i will place the pool down in a deep ravine next to the stream that will provide water to fill it. i could even have the stream flowing a constant supply into the pool thus keeping it always full. then dip my pipe in the pool and pump the water up the slopes to the plants. i want to make waterholes next to the river and have the pool as well. that way by gals will get the water they deserve for sure, till the end of the season. why must i thin of all this? where i lie there are soooo many cool spots i can plant at, all withing walking distance from my back door. my house is litterally at the foot of the mountains, the last row of houses in the village. so tyeah i walk to my sites. cars+cannabis=busted!

the small shovel i got has proven to be very sturdy and is perfect for digging.
