Wolverine Tuff Bottle 5 Gallon/20 Liter Collapsible Water Container with a Blue Tubing Spout

I do rugged outdoor camping for extended periods of time and have tried several collapsible water containers from other makers. The containers I have tried previous to this one have been bulky and flimsy and have developed leaks quickly and were difficult or impossible to hang. This container meets and exceeds my expectations for a water container for the following reasons. 1) Ability to hang: the sturdy grommets allowed me to hang it from a tree or pole. I hung it with the spout side down and was able to conveniently dispense water for drinking and doing dishes. When doing dishes in the campsite the spout was easily switched on and off for washing and rinsing. I have tried to hang containers from other makers and the material has torn through from the weight. With sturdy grommets there is no danger of this container tearing under the weight of its five gallon capacity. 2) Compact and lightweight when packed: Unlike other collapsible containers I have used, this container folds flat and takes up very little space in my gear. 3) Durable: after a week of rugged use this container doesn't show any sign of wear or leaking. As further testament to its durability, a black bear ventured into my campsite and destroyed some of my belongings to the extent of chewing a hard plastic cup to pieces and tearing through a tin can with its teeth. The bear left small punctures from its teeth in this water container on two different occasions but was unable to tear the material. While most of the teeth punctures only penetrated the outer layer of the container, some punctures on the upper end (opposite of spout side) of the container did penetrate through, leaving leaks, but not rendering it unusable when hung in this position. 4) Food grade material: because this container is food safe I was able to use it both for drinking water and doing dishes. My family members were also able to use it for wetting their long hair before brushing. For us, it replaced the solar shower ( which is not food grade) because of its diversity. While this is by far the best container I have used, I have two suggestions for the maker to further improve this container and make it the absolute dream jug: First, it would be great if it came with an additional option of an adjustable shower spout similar to what solar showers have. This would make it even easier for washing dishes and bathing. Having the spout it comes with and an exchangeable shower style hose that could be easily screwed onto the opening would make this more diverse. Second, if this container had a large opening (screw on cap or zipper style) toward the opposite end of the spout side it would make it easier to fill and clean and dry. Ideally the the opening would be large enough to insert one's hand for quickly drying with a towel after use for packing away. On a final note, I also love this product because it is made in the USA.

This water bottle is PERFECT! It’s dishwasher safe, holds a lot of water so I don’t have to constantly refill it, has a straw to drink through, has a perfect handle for easy carrying, and has a flip lid to protect the straw, so if you dropped it, it won’t get contaminated (I drop things a lot). Not only that but it has markings on the side to show you how much you’ve drank and to encourage you to drink more! I cannot express how much I love this bottle! It also doesn’t leak like camelbak’s tend to do, but that also is something that tends to develop over time, so I'll give it a few months. Hopefully I didn't speak too soon. I also really like that with the soft straw, you don't have to bite it to drink out of it like you do with camelbaks. I've heard that can lead to teeth misalignment in children, so if I were a parent, I would much rather use this water bottle. I cannot say enough good things about it! If you're very worried about keeping your water frigidly cold, I wouldn't get this bottle, but room-temperature water doesn't bother me, and it's not like you can't put ice cubes in it.

Have not used yet but looks to be very durable and just what we were looking for as an added resource to our rv “just in case” box

Saw these reviewed somewhere and they seemed much heavier duty than the typical polyethylene jugs you see. they fold down nicely for storage, yet hen filled sit very sturdy with strong heavy handles. I love it and may buy a couple more.

Super robust and lightweight. Better than any of the water containers I have used for camping.

Bought 2 of there on the recommendation of a friend. We use them when dry camping and need to add water to our travel trailer fresh water tank or to store our drinking water in. They hold 5.3 gallons and become square shape when filled so will sit on without tipping or having to be held. The only thing is the little attached hose that comes with it , is a great idea but its too small, so you have to hold that heavy bag up while it takes a long tile to empty into the RV tank. My friend uses a short piece of garden hose in his instead to fill his RV tank faster, but they must have changed the cap size as a regular garden hose doesn't fit on mine. That is why I gave it only 4 stars. Would have given it 5 if the hose could be attached.

Great concept but impossible to maneuver holding it up to drain water into tank outlet. We would have needed some kind of hook mounted to the RV exterior to attach it to to drain. When you lift it while even semi filled it is awkward and you lose most of the water. We tried using a funnel but it's like jello in a bag, can't hold it steady. The concept is great and the compact size when empty for storage with RV was what prompted me to purchase. We just found it impossible to use with two of us. Even if it was functional the price point is too high. I will have to say the material of bag is impressive but functionality cancels that pro out.

I used this product for hand washing, washing dishes, etc at campsite. I did not use this water for drinking.
