Can you tell us more about this funnel? Brand? Pics?
This would be useful for water in the water can too I imagine.

Hey I ordered 8 of them and got them quickly. Great deal Thanks for the info.
My Parents and Sister wanted some for their emergency/disaster kit.
If there is a real disaster back in the States I will try to survive on beer. I will save the water for the more needy.

That is a slight raise over just a few weeks ago. I picked up a set of 6 for $97ish. These are made by LC Industries, not Scepter. They shipped in three boxes, 3, 2, and 1 per box respectively. They must not cost them much to ship.

Just got my shipment from LCI today. 
They look and feel just like the ones I used to drop when full from 7-8 ft up(back of dump truck) while playing Army. I did manage to burst a few, but damn those things were/are strong.

The military standard allows for transport by air in a non pressurized cargo hold.  That is so they can airlift fuel to troops.

Just ordered up a couple of those bags now--can't wait!

Just curious what the usefulness of these is... it seems that they might slow the heating or cooling of the water in the can somewhat but eventually the contents will get hot/cold anyway.
Fill it with ice & water at 6am and head out for a day in the summer... will these bags really make any significant difference 4-5 or 7-8 hours later? I think of these cans as longer term water sources rather than day-use. I'm wondering what others think...

I've been wondering the same thing. I could see em making a difference over a day or two, but not longer. If they have a shoulder strap that could make it easier to carry.

I have 2 of the OD cans. They mount to 2 Blitz can carriers I got at NorthernTool for $17 each. See them here: http://forum.ih8mud.com/trailer-tech...han-416-a.html
I'm still looking for a spout solution as they are difficult to use in the real world. I would like something with a ball valve to control flow. Might have to take a top with me to Home Depot and see what I find.

You can order a replacement cap for $5.99... then you can experiment with the spigot solutions from the other thread!

$24.99 now that bites. It didn't take LCI long at all once we started buying to start raising the price. Luckly I got mine for the origional $15. Shortly after I bought my 3 I saw that the price had jumped several dollars. If you are on the fence about buying you had better jump. I feel sure that the price will keep going up until the purchases drop off. Great quality cans.
