bjc Donating Members 2,823 Member For: 21y 8m 27d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 15/12/15 10:40 PM Share Posted 15/12/15 10:40 PM The early Camel backs had a plastic "coat hanger" sort of contraption that went into the filler hole and expanded out so it would dry inside. Nothing a peg on the filler hole didn't fix while hanging up and the good old pipe cleaner for the hose or for the military it was the barrel cleaning attachment with some swab...Some had vodka and whatever cordial could be acquired which was a true winner OS at the time!
