for the last few years we been using an aquaroll water container but lately this has been getting a little large and this year struggling to find space for it. What does everyone use for a water container that dont require loads of runs cause wanting loads of brews

I use two 5litre containers which are easier to carry & to pour than one 10litre container. Plenty use 5litre mineral water bottles from the supermkt, buy one or 2 for your trip & keep refilling them.

We buy a couple of large bottles of water. Freeze one to keep in the coolbox. Just refill from campsite tap and that's enough for 2 avid coffee/tea drinkers plus one child and a dog. Much easier to pack and manage than a bit water container.

I have water containers that collapse as the water is poured out so take up very little room when empty and flat.

We followed a tip from this site, take a five litre bottle of water from the supermarket as above, and refill as or if required from site tap them recycle at site when going home.

we use a plastic jerry can very similar to this one...once filled it will last us a few days before having to be refilled...it works well for us as it's almost like having your own personal water tap in your tent...

I also buy a 5 litre bottle of mineral water for £1 from the supermarket and refill it as necessary on site.

If I am pushed for space when I pack up to come home I just bin it and buy another one on my next trip.
