WaterStorageCube Premium Collapsible Water Container Bag, BPA Free Food Grade Clear Plastic Storage Jug for Camping Hiking Backpack Emergency, No-Leak Freezable Foldable Water Bottle 1.3/2.6 Gallon

We recently moved to SW Florida which is prone to hurricanes and tropical storms and where losing power and water is common enough to need to be prepared. I ordered these in preparation for Hurricane Ian.We knew that this hurricane was going to be a doozy so I ordered a bunch of these collapsible water bags in case we needed fresh water after the storm passed.These bags are extremely easy to fill in the sink. The cap keeps the water from splashing out of the bag when carrying it. The handles are strong and embedded in the bag. The handles aren’t very comfy, but I was only carrying them from the kitchen sink into the guest bathroom for storing during the storm. The bottoms of the bags are designed so that they spread out and can sit up on their own.We lost power for 3 days and had a boil-water order from the city so having all these bags of water meant less stress. I knew we had enough fresh water for at least a week.After the emergency passes, these water bags are easy to empty and since they fold flat they can be stored in a cabinet until they are needed again. We ordered both the smaller size bags (1.3 gallons) and the larger size bags (2.6 g). The smaller ones are easier to carry around and can fill your toilet tank for flushing, if needed.I highly recommend these bags to have on-hand if you live in an area that ends up with bad storms that could cut off your fresh water. They provided us peace of mind during the hurricane and it’s aftermath. Having these meant having one fewer thing to worry about during a stressful time.

What is worse than standing in line for a roller coaster? Standing in line for a drinking fountain. We spent the past week attending theme parks and the beach. We took these with us and they worked great.Theme parks: In the morning hours, before it got hot, we filled them at the drinking fountain inside the parks . The grandparents had rented scooters that had small baskets on them, so these were placed in the baskets. We then carried smaller water bottles with us that had ice in them, and we were able to fill our bottles through out the day, without needing to pause our activities to find a drinking fountain. The hotter the day got, the longer the drinking fountain lines got.Beach: Filled at the hotel and took it with us. Refilling water bottles as needed though the day. Husband dropped us off as close to the beach as possible, so that we didn’t have to carry it to far.7 hour car ride: Filled bag before we left home/hotel to refill our water bottles in the vehicle while at rest stops. Also used to wash hands if needed. No need to stop at gas stations for expensive sodas or use questionable drinking fountains.Things to know:They are heavy when full, I don’t recommend putting it in a backpack and hauling it around. Electric vehicles (scooters), strollers and wagons make them portable.The opening is large and easy to fill. However, smaller water bottles with smaller openings are more difficult to fill without making a mess.Propping them open to fully dry is a little awkward and it takes a while for the corners to dry out.The plastic feels thick and durable.Handles on the top are a nice feature.They take up very little space on the shelf at home when they are empty.They will get additional use as we go camping off grid. Pack it in, pack it out.

We bought two of these in June of 2022. We use them to freeze our own cooler ice packs by filling them 3/4 full and freezing. We do this twice a year to travel between our winter and summer homes. I just filled them, and one was leaking so I bought 4 more. It lasted 6 trips. They do the job but perhaps don't hold up as well when freezing even though they say they are freezable.I like the built-in handle and the folding bottom so they sit straight, and they do well for our purposes.

I was looking for a solution for a way to bring drinking water along with me on overnight camp outs. I have a small cooler that is just the right size to put 10 lbs of ice and all four of these inside it. It makes it pretty easy to bring 4 gallons of filtered water from home. These containers have held up pretty well so far, if I run into any issues over the next six months or so, I'll edit this review. These perform as advertised, there's no flavor imparted to the water, and they clean out pretty easily. I may look at purchasing the next size up of these, but all in all these are a convenient size and weight when filled.

What's not to like about this deal? 4-gallons of water storage and transport, quality seals and cap (equal to that on a nalgene bottle), and thick, good-quality plastic body that folds really good when empty. I have used all of mine MULTIPLE times and have ZERO complaints about any of them! No leaks, they stand up easily when full, and they pour very well with a good focused stream. I can get these filled at SEVERAL places in town for $0.25 each ($1.00 for all 4), which will last me for drinking water (and ice cube water) most of the work-week. If I had a place to put them, I'd buy 4 more...as it is, if they ever do get damaged or fail, I will be ordering this same product, again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
