Water Brick

Check these out - the "Water Brick". Pretty darn cool and uber portable at 3.5 gallons each!

Definitely easier to pack than my current cans.

I have looked at these before, they would fit perfect under my sleep platform as an emergency stash

Those are pretty cool. I am happy with my 5 gal nato style water can, but then again, I have 8 feet of bed space to put it in.

The water bricks are pretty awesome, Ben uses them in the 4Runner and they can take a beating. I've dropped them a few times from 3-4 feet in the air and they still look brand new. I also like how they are stack-able, and you don't have to worry about leaving one out on a cold night because they are durable enough to be frozen solid without failing.

Would they work as an ice replacement in a cooler?

To be honest I haven't tried but I don't know why they wouldn't. I've frozen one to test it myself but you'll need a decent amount of freezer space to fit one.

Absolutely not Andy. Before actually replacing the ice you would have to freeze it first. Silly... poor Terri - she had to go and marry for beauty instead of brains...

I know. I'm not the sharpest spoon in the drawer.

Oh wait...from the website

Block of Ice - Use these water containers as block of ice for boating, camping, sporting activities or eliminating food or medication spoilage in your refrigerator during short term power outages.

That's a clever idea. I wonder if you can buy extra caps so you could fiddle around developing a spigot for one?

Yea just wanted to point out a little bit of Joker Old School with the J Boots

They have a spigot already, it was 10 bucks in the store the last time I saw it.

Excellent. That makes for a more user friendly product.

Here's a link to their spigot. http://www.waterbrick.org/product.php?productid=14

I use a mix of water brick and a 5 gallon water cooler jug as water storage for winter camping. I keep the Jugs wrapped in a blanket in the trailer, yet they regularly freeze. Each night, I top off the water brick and stash it in my Jeep wrapped in a blanket. Only had one morning with a thin layer of ice. This allows me to make coffee as soon as I get up.

The solution for the frozen water jug, as long as it isn't a full jug, is to put it on the top of the Jeep hood while the Jeep is running.

In general I find the water bricks easier to move around, and as they are only 3.5 gallons, my daughters can move them around. A full 5 gallon jug seems to be too big and/or heavy.

As time goes by, I'll probably continue to buy additional water bricks.

The spigot they sell works well as long as you place something under the back of the brick to keep the water level high near the spigot.

I guess should have checked the link they do have the spigot......

I think these would work great on a interior rack, perfect size.

Not to derail the water bricks thread but the there is a cheap, off-the-shelf solution for maintaining water temps of your vessel - if you have Jerry cans - the USGI Insulated Jerry Can Carrier. There is still no better carrier out there that as cost effective, durable, and adaptable to a variety of spigots, both manual or electric.

I've personally never seen one of these. Thanks for posting that Tim

I like that 1.6 gallon brick. Would be great for the cars during the summer. I forgot about waterbricks, since I last saw them at a gun show.
