Doesn't everyone get their MWCs from LCI? It's been a while since I bought mine, but nobody could come close to their pricing, and I know I got mine pretty quickly.

I just ordered another 10 about 2-3 months ago.... still great price... still fast service. some of my last order.
These are not only great for prepping but the make the camping buckets pail (ha ha) by comparison. Look right of the tent. These are the bomb... and again service and price can not be beat.

Less than a week, IIRC. ETA, I think you have to order four to get the free shipping. (or used to). Been a while. |

Their website pretty much sucks, but it's worth the effort. |

Both links take me to a log in screen with no way to become a new customer. How do I go about taking care of that?

I think you can log in as a guest, it has been a couple months since I got mine.
I ordered 5 and got one shipped within a week or so I think. I called about the others because I got no email update and the nice lady on the phone checked my order and said the others were backordered and would ship as soon as they were ready. Had the next bunch of 4 show up within a week of that call I guess. I should probably order some more because I agree that they put most other stuff to shame. If no one answers on logging in run a search for the older threads on these and the instructions will be in those threads for ordering since that is what it took for me to finally order some. |

To order the MWC from LCI:
1. Go to www.buylci.com. 2. On the right hand side of the LCI homepage, click on "Shop Now". 3. Once you get to the search block on the next screen, type in "water cans". 4. Select the OD Green or Desert Tan cans you want. |

I finally decided to order some of these as well. Shipping is free with an order over $50 so three cans at $16.95 worked out to be $50.97 so I bought three for now and that got me free shipping. I mainly bought these for my bug out trailer project and I would like at least three more but fund are tight so 15-gal is at least a start.
I would like to add a couple smaller 2.5-gal versions if I could but I didn't see anything like that on the site but I did find some of the Scepter 2.5-gal cans for $23/ea. They also have the 20L water Scepters for double the price of the LCI (Both of these are back ordered). https://www.brigadeqm.com/cgi-bin/tame.exe/store/brands3.tam?cart=08H01mnv.ips&lpg=%2Fstore%2Fbrands4%2Etam&lpt=1249445604&brand%2Ectx=Scepter&M2%5FDESC%2Ectx=Water%2FFuel%20Storage&backto=%2Fstore%2Fbrands4%2Etam Anyways, thanks for the advise on these cans and glad to have these added to the preps. |

See if these links work...
https://www.redcheetah.com/lci/search.php?search_phrase=906396 https://www.redcheetah.com/lci/search.php?search_phrase=600409 I assume the prices when up as three gets you to $50 as I posted above now. Still, that is about 1/3 the cost of Scepter water cans. |

I don't have mine yet as I just ordered but do a google search and you will find a ton of references of "LCI water cans" and they seem to be made to the same basic specs as the Scepter water cans. The LCI cans are sold to the US Military and I was not able to find any negative reviews before buying. These are reported to be very strong (military guys describing tossing full cans off the back of trucks in the sandbox with an occasion issue but most survive) and few to no reported issues with leaks as long as the lids are screwed down tight. There were also plenty of verifications that the plastic is safe and that it does not give the water a funny taste. Again, just repeating what I had read before buying and I am starting with three and I plan to double or tripple that number once I try them myself. |

Yup on the price going up a bit, but still a worthwhile buy in my opinion because I still have a couple of the blue 7 gallon square aquatainers and they are no where near as tough as the lci stuff.
I have not really abused mine, mostly been dropped or knocked over, and they shrug it off with ease. I have had aquatainers crack corners with similar short drops. And I did not drop it, a buddy did not think a full jug of water would weigh that much so while he was picking it up he had a poor grip on it and away it went from the low trailer height to the ground. And they use excellant boxes to pack these, I kind of was amused they pack them so well when I know they won't ever see such care in the future. |

Honestly, that is still a good price for what you get. Perhaps no longer a steal but these cans are WAY BETTER then the cheap plastic cans we can get from Wal-Mart or anywhere else. Scepter made MWC cans sell for about $35 when you can find them:
http://www.armyproperty.com/store/p/2386/scepter-gi-mwc-5-gallon-20-liter-water-can-sand-gwc06/?utm_source=google+products ... and more on the various auction sites. I think this is still a fair price for what they are. I wish I had bought three more before the price went up again but now I think the six I did buy are enough for our needs and I will focus my limited spending on other gaps in my preps. We all knew these prices were a steal and could not understand how they were so cheap. Before anybody cries too loud, remember that the Nato gas cans are still available for somewhat reasonable prices and in a year you may not be able to get them at current prices either

Yeah, I hated missing the good price (shoulda been paying attention!!!), but I ordered four of them and an extra cap this morning. Figured I'd better get some of them before they went even higher!

put a little bleach water in them, swish it around, empty, rinse with clean water, fill back up with water with a few drops of bleach in it.

Water storage- Sanitize- Use 1 teaspoon per quart (4C) of water to sanitize container, multiply as needed. Purify (if needed)- Use 1/8 teaspoon per gallon to purify water from storage. Shelf life- Try to replace every 6 months in June and Dec. I copied this from my electronic storage/ prep notes, I tend to NOT add bleach for storage.... it kills yeast and prevents bread from rising. But thats just me... however I do keep a rotation of bleach in the house.... as well as filters and purifiers, just incase. If you happen to make a food storage/ emergency procedure booklet, do yourself a favor and print it so if you lose your PC/ Power/ what not, you can quickly grab it. I like the 19 hole bindings since it retains the pages well (better than 3 ring binders in my experience) and Can still be updated as needed, plus they weigh less and are CHEAPER, ever price a 3" 3 ring binder... WOW. However I do have a few dozen that I scored from the work dumpster during a KAIZAN event.... What a crock of shit those things are IMHO. |
