Do they make a fire-hose type of garden hose?
It seems to me that I've seen something like that advertised, but cant find it now.
I'm on a farm, and I have to fill water tanks for livestock in the winter. That means keeping hoses in the house, then dragging them outdoors to fill tanks, and as soon as they get cold, they get real stiff and are a big pain to use.
I completely gave up on all plastic hoses, which get VERY stiff, and bought expensive rubber hoses. They too get stiff, but not as badly. But they get heavy when I have to haul 2 or 3 fifty footers at once, and it's amazing how they manage to get stuck on clumps of ice or frozen snow, which quickly makes me cuss.
Hose reels are worthless in the cold. The hoses are just too stiff to wind up, and most of the time I'm too cold to screw around with a reel anyhow.
I know the real Fire Hoses are heavy, but they are 2 or 3 inch diameter hoses. I would think that a cloth covered 5/8" or 3/4" hose would be much lighter than solid rubber and would not get nearly as stiff. (And might even easily wind onto a reel).
Does anyone know where they sell these (If they do)?
Thanks
