That's an excellent point and a major reason I've been looking for an off road trailer, such as this. I don't have to take all of it, but I wanted to provide storage and be able to haul it safely, if needed. I travel with a group in Baja and some of the remote beaches don't even have a local water source. If we find a nice spot, we sometimes stay a while...lol. Another reason for a trailer is you can drop it, make camp and still have a rig free to use, not to mention the extra room. Plus the convenience of keeping most of your gear in the trailer and ready to head out from home. Just hook up & go! Currently, deploying my RTT, awning with wall kit, trail kitchen and I can't go anywhere without packing it up. But back to the subject, carrying water. When I got the Waterbricks, I didn't consider transporting them. You can't just toss them in your rig with all the misc gear that your hauling. They're heavy & relatively fragile when full of water. So you need to secure them safely. Hopefully, others will see my post and realize that as convenient & flexible as the Waterbricks are, usage & hauling them around requires some planning.That's a lot of water... If you are going for so long that you need that much water where will you put the rest of the stuff you'll need?
Those maybe the coolest thing ever. Thanks for the tip! If someone had space on a roof rack like a prinsu or front runner, what do y'all think about bolting a couple up on the rack? I know it's better to keep weight low, but it's gotta weigh less than an RTT and awning.I use Water Bricks which are 3.5 gallon each and HPDE, BPA free food grade plastic. They're very durable and stack like Lego bricks. they also run about $17 each brand new.
I'm sure they would be fine up there. Low profile and easy to stack.Those maybe the coolest thing ever. Thanks for the tip!

This is my set up. We are going to Baja next week. View attachment 1819644 View attachment 1819647

Didn't know that, but it makes sense, like after a disaster. Easier to disperse after arriving on scene.Water Bricks were designed first to get water to remote villages in 3rd world countries....
Lol...only if they paid off in gold bricks. It'd take that just to pay for the fuel......With your mounts and Land Cruiser you could provide a delivery service.

That's amazing! The info in the video is compelling. Technology has really improved. Back in the 70's & 80's, when I was backpacking, there was no filter in existence that could filter out the giardia parasite from, like a creek. You couldn't even boil it - you had to use chemical tablets. Filter last for 5 yrs, too - wow!I just bought one of these from OuterLimit Supply. I can't imagine carrying all that water!! I imagine if there is no water to purify, this is pretty useless.

. If we find a beach we like I don't want to have to come back to town for more water. Plus the wife is going so there will be showers.That looks like a lot, how many gallons? How long are you going for? In my climate that would last a very long time. And camping in the warmer months always involves a creek/river/lake where there is an abundance for showering.
It's pretty dry in baja and water must be purchased at water stores so that we don't get the $hits
