I won't comment on the reel, or pvc pipe, as others seem to have that
covered. But I will comment about the hose. Get good quality rubber,
not plastic, hose. Goodyear sells some good stuff, that's readily
available and not terribly expensive. (50' of 3/8 hose for ~$30) It
works well down below zero.
