Large volume water storage at events

[Moleman]

Just curious what you folks use for large volume water storage at events and still stay HC/PC correct.

Arizona Tea plastic containers, which are easy to use and ergonomically shaped. They are also sturdy. But: keep 'em covered, just like your cell phone and your medications.

I have a three gallon ‘camp kettle’ from Avolon forge, usually enough for a day for me with cooking cleaning and drinking

Depends on how much you want to spend

5 gallon water buckets with the pop-on pop off lids work dandy. Get the blue ones to use for drinkable water and the green ones for River water for washing.

Def jugs are highly abundant at all the truck stops and when rinsed out they make dandy water jugs.

And these drugs are handy for some of the people who can't carry 5 gallons.

Plastic soda bottles converted to water bottles are also handy to have around, I have several hundred of them that I've removed the labels from and clean them all out and filled them with distilled water in our emergency water storage,
We have plastic milk crates full of them,
And carry one in the back of the wagon when we go to camp or traveling.

Two 15-gal wooden kegs and one 2-gal and 3-gallon copper cistern.

'afternoon,

Love some of the more period ones (a 2-3 gallon wooden keg with stand and spigot is on the wish list), but honestly, I second the Arizona Tea jugs. I rarely need to take more than 2-3 gallons, and half of that goes to others in the unit that don't think to bring water.

I use a 5 gal. walmart water container covered with a canvas bag.

I use a 5 gal. walmart water container covered with a canvas bag.

Same with my 1 gallon bright orange Tide container urinal, which is covered with a period-correct canvas drawstring bag. No way am I getting up and exiting my shelter in the middle of the night to take a leak, especially during winter camping when I would have to put on a pair of moccasins so that I could walk in the snow. Key word is "DEFARB".
