I am very happy with this water container. It's durable holds 5 gallons of water. I take it camping and on long car trips. The water also has no plastic taste. Doesn't leak. It has a strong handle to carry it and is made of quality materials. I would recommend it to anyone.

I can't get rid of the interior smell!

This canister is well made thick plastic and it has a well designed handle. I intend to use it for storage for emergency water. Doesn't stack like my other blue containers. I like that I could easily move it to my car for emergency evacuations. The big problem is that the insides smell heavily of plastic. I've washed it out with soap and water after the mixture sat inside for several hours. I've left it open several days too.

Nice big opening and strong

Many camping water jugs are hard to fill clean and dry out. This one addresses those issues by including a huge pour opening. Large enough to fit a hand in to wipe it down and also biking enough to easily drain and dry out. Definitely a car camping piece based on weight but a good one!

Sturdy container

This is absolutely great for taking water out to the desert for trips. It was easy to fill up pack as it’s slim and the seal is great. I drove over sand dunes and once I arrived to my place there was no spillage as the seal held. We used the water all weekend and the spout was perfect. I highly recommend this to anyone

It is very lightweight extremely adorable it also helps when you need to have convenience of water for when you want to go camping doing chores around the house going to parks or even just having it in your car for any type of an emergency in case you break down.

I also love how it has the military design that is on the container and I also love how the handle on it is nice and thick and very adorable the whole thing is completely exceptional design. And I love how the cap is extremely thick and there it's very airtight. I also love how it's a perfect height I have for it in length is 13 and a half maybe under the width and maybe close to 7:00 and the height and close to 19 so it's got the perfect height and it's 5 gallons which is 20 L of water and it's a great hydration that you can have anywhere and take anywhere.

Light strong durable! Checks all my boxes!

We do a lot of camping here in Central Florida and regardless of the time of year water is a MUST!! The Scepter 5 gallon/20 liter water container is pretty much perfection! First off the form factor is standard military water/fuel size so literally any rack made for these will work for storage. The water can be poured from either the smaller spout on the main cap with an air vent to stop suction OR by using the main spout for a super fast pour. The main spout has no problems handling all the sizes of electric transfer pumps I have and it even handles the camp shower pump as well and that black color gets that water quite warm for a nice shower! I can't say enough about this water container from Scepter compared to the others I have used in the past. I am now a customer for life!

Rugged container

This five gallon water container fits my need perfectly. We do boondocking camping and need extra water for daily use. The black military style container has a pour spout and vent for easy pouring. It is drinking water safe and a rugged container to add to our camping must have list.

Nice quality water jug!!

This five gallon water jug is durable and heavy duty qualify. I’m impressed that this is used by the military. This will be great to have on a long road trip and in case of an emergency. Because it’s new it does have a plastic smell to it and before use I will rinse it out and air dry the water jug. I definitely recommend.

pleasantly surprised!

I got this to use in my Jeep when traveling/camping! I was a little concerned about the size being too big and me schlepping it around....but it actually just the right size! Made of VERY durable material and easy to transport using the carrying handle. I like that is has a big opening to fill or pour from. I like that it is BPA free. I look forward to using this on many trips!
