Scepter Military Style Water Storage Container for Camping, Sand, 5 Gallon

Very well built and durable. Won't corrode and safe for drinking water. I live in a place where we can get fresh clean water from a spring underground. The water tests 100% pure right out of the rock. This is what we use to collect and store the water in. It's the drinking cooking water for us and our animals. Only thing city water here is good for is hygiene( and waste), dishes laundry. This seems to be a blow mold like plastic which is also a food grade quality. It holds 5 gallons of water (in our case) . We've had no issues with leaking even if it fell on it's side while closed. For those familiar with the military "jerry" cans this is the same basic size and dimensions of those. I'm very impressed with this and want to purchase more.

Great for longer road trips when you are out away from good water sources. They stand up and don't take up much space. Lash the can to something and they dont fall over either. Worth the cost.

Good for RV travels

These are the gold standard for water jugs and are used by the military. I have been happy with mine. I use them on camping trips and also at home for reverse osmosis water that I produce. I also purchased the spigot for these. At home I recommend transferring to smaller 1 gallon jugs to make things more manageable. I was concerned about potentially having a plastic taste at first but this has not been an issue. I just wash the jugs out with water a couple of times before the first use. One tip I can offer is to remove the cap over the small hole for pouring otherwise it will be right in the stream of water which you will find to be very annoying. Open the vent for the most efficient pouring. To pour you need to grab the handle as well as the bottom of the jug. You can also rest the jug on a picnic table or something like that and pour. I bought these because I needed something very durable and reliable for long camping trips and these have fit the bill. Sometimes a couple of these jugs are all of our drinking water for a few days so I could not take any chances on an inferior product.

Great quality material no leakages . odor went away after leaving the can filled with water , baking soda and lemon.

Build quality is mostly great. It’s much more durable than other items I looked at. Yes it’s double the price, but if it doesn’t leak then it’s totally worth it. I bought it for camping and to have as an emergency water supply for car break downs in the desert. It did leak when I filled it up and turned it over from the large cap, until I torqued it some more. I will update to five stars if it doesn’t leak some after being around in the back of my SUV for several weeks of LA driving. There are O-rings on the small breather hole and the large cap. The medium size pour cap has no o-ring. It doesn’t make sense to me why two do and one doesn’t. I don’t doubt this is a genuine product. I wonder if it is an older model or if it is an error in shipping, handling, design, manufacturing, or packaging. It seems other people have gotten ones with two o-rings. I did turn it upside down after hand torquing it moderately hard and it didn’t leak. We will see if it stays that way and I’ll upgrade my review to 5 stars. Perhaps for some reason it doesn’t need an o-ring on the pour cap. I’m not an engineer. I’m not sure if I could buy one cheaply. If it doesn’t leak I’m going to contact the seller and/or manufacturer. I don’t think I should have to buy some sort of wrench to hard torque the product to basically work but what do I know exactly. I don’t foresee this being the failure mode though because there is an o-ring there. Someone else’s comment about the inside lip-mouth being funky looking is true. Perhaps the plastic molding/manufacturing process is imperfect. I don’t care so long as the product works—it doesn’t have to be pretty on the inside. I don’t doubt it is a genuine product as some have commented here they received one that wasn’t. There are very minor imperfections in the plastic even on the outside but again, the overall build quality is so great besides the weird 2/3 o-ring thing I don’t care. It’s not made to be displayed at Canne. It’s a camping/emergency water supply, zombie apocalypse type product if it’s not for military. I haven’t drank the water yet but did wash it some just with soap. Will try bleach like someone suggested if it’s funky tasting still when I need to go camping.

I bought two of these as an investment to put into my travel van for carrying extra clean water. They are both of exceptional quality and very easy to store. I imagine these will last forever if I keep them clean

Best portable H2O storage container. Tough and durable. I bought mine after seeing them survive a Boy Scout troop for years. If they can survive that, they can survive anything. Just a little pricy, I guess it's one of those buy once, cry once deals for these.

Artículo Imprescindible para los campistas, tratándose de transportar lo más importante y básico como es el agua de consumo humano no se debe escatimar, en un campamento de varios días y varias personas este contenedor es la gran solución, ocupa poco espacio y su diseño lo hace fácil de cargar y rellenar, además su gran boca de llenado permite lavarlo con facilidad, es resistente, solo hay un pequeño problema, cuando se inclina para servir el agua se riega y desperdicia mucho, sería magnífico si se le agregara un grifo!

I got it for extended camping/hunting trips. I know it’s only a water can, but it’s one of my favourite pieces of gear. It’s extremely rugged, and i like to know I can bump it around a bit without worrying about it breaking and then losing precious water when we’re out in remote areas. It took a while for the plastic aroma to wear off, but not a big deal. I wish it were cheaper, but still worth the money.

Canadian made !!! A tank of canister !!! Well built sturdy and very nice color. The price is on the high side but worthed.

Muy buena calidad, si es congruente el costo con lo que venden

Great quality product, no plastic taste. Prompt delivery as promised.
