Scepter BPA Durable 5 Gallon 20 Liter Portable Military Water Storage Container for Camping, Outdoors and Emergency Management

Sturdy lightweight storage tank for water. Wish I had these prior to the water outage I experienced several weeks ago. I plan to keep one filled with water at the house, while the other will be used to carry water in my vehicle for hiking trips. Extremely practical!

A little expensive, but I have a feeling they're going to last for a very long time.I've had these for a few years now, and they're rugged and very solid.They impart almost no flavor into the water, and seal up nice and tight.My only complaint is that the cap always falls into the path of the pouring water, which is a REAL pain. I don't know how this oversight happened, because it's frustrating and obnoxious.However, I added a little hook that I can clip them up and out of the way when I pour water and it solved the issue. I suggest this to everyone.

Overall awesome product so far. Took them on a camping trip for 4 days and they were great for washing out hands, cooking with, and drinking from.Pros:-easy to clean, I can fit my arm in there (I do have little arms though)-easy to use the lid without fear of breaking it, unlike the blue aqua-whatever they are called water jugs-fits well in the bed of truck with other camping gear, they are slim, compared to those big bulky blue ones again-the plastic feels very durableCon:-Doesn’t necessarily have a good pour spout for washing your hands, but whatever, it’s a great jug!

Bought these oct 2020 at $40 each shipped, have seen them down to $35 each since then. Also bought the matching $20 cap wrench as well. I have a bunch, in 5 gal and smaller and these are absolutely the real deal....super thick and overbuilt....costly yes, but if you ever need water on hand....then you NEED water on hand. Only makes sense its protected with no worries of leaks, punctures, spills etc. 5 gallons in the carrier is heavy at over 40 pounds so not ideal for walking long distances with for sure. But for storage in a garage, closet, under the bed, whatever...it is convenient. These are the same that our military has...think hard use in extreme conditions, so they are more than capable for home, backup, camping, hunting use. Hope this helps you make an informed purchase decision...

these are great for storing water for camping. I take my horses out camping and I have to take extra water so I’ll fill these up and line my truck bed full of them then I have days worth of water for my horses and me. I do not notice a weird taste or anything from these. easy to use and easy to clean.

I will use this on an off-road adventure next week. Rugged is an understatement is my initial impression! Consider the possibility of dropping a cheap flimsy water jug from the back of a truck and what a serious disaster that could be. Only concern is a powerful and unusual odor inside like a burning construction site or something. I washed with soap and water and left cap open and the smell has diminished about 90%. And don’t forget the special wrench you will likely need in case you don’t understand what happens to a sealed but expandable container when subjected to heat and or a substantial increase in altitude!

I was a bit taken aback over the price tag for these, yet I was growing weary of constantly having to replace the cheaper, cheesy ones that are found everywhere, so I figured I'd give them a try. WOW! Just WOW! These things are beasts! Made of heavy, heavy gauge injection molded plastic with smooth finished seams! Yes, smooth seams, unlike the cheap ones that have remaining sharp, raised mold seams that you have to sand/cut down in order to keep from slicing your hand open! I'm so impressed that I'm going to order 2 more of these! Spend the money on these & never have to buy another water jug again!

These Scepter containers are made amazingly well! I got two of the 5 gallon jugs and they are really well made! Strong, thick plastic, threads for me seem perfect. I have a lot of water jugs as I usually go to the local artesian well to bring water home for consumption, these are my new favorites! I got them looking towards bringing water camping in easier to store containers, but they are really working well for hauling water in general! Super worth it, though I was skeptical before!!!
