I have a very old 5l water container and the top is starting to leak.

What do others use for carrying there water these days.

Many Thanks

I buy a 5l bottle of water for around 1.50
Then fill it from the tap afterwards
I throw it around a bit in the mud to camo it up a bit
Then replace when it's knackered with another
Fits in my fox barrow a treat👍🏻😂

I have a couple:
A 5l container that I got from work. It contained glass washer concentrate and when it ran out I washed it out and took it home. The other is a 5l water container from Sainsbury's that cost a £1. This gets used until the handle splits and breaks then I put it in the recycle bin and buy a new one when I need it.

My mate takes his water in a sponge, soak it up before you go.




Stupid bloody question, I really question where humanity is going when grown men have to ask what to use to take a bit of water to a lake.

To be fair I'd be looking at the container in question and asking if it's suiatable for water transport, not all are especially if they haven't been used for water purposes originally. You might also wish to make sure it's BPA free if that interests you.

Having said that I read today the average disposable coffee cup sheds 25000 micro plastic particles over the average 15 minutes taken to consume the product, and those particles act as transporters for heavy metals into the body

Go back to glass I say.

When I was fishing with a group of mates water was a problem as we drank our supply dry with copious amounts of tea ☕️
And rather than carry it I bought an Aquaroll which caravaners use .
45 litres the jobs a goodun and never run out .
Plus side you wheel it along so no carrying 👍

Sainsbury's Caledonian Still Water 5L cost just £1.10p
as its a squarish shape it fits the fox barrow water carrier perfect

Got given a ridgemonkey bottle does the job, same as the Sainsbury's ones I've used prior
Are you sure?
