    Hey guys -

    Pretty specific question here. I've got 3 20L heavy duty water containers (like
    $49 Scepter 5 Gallon True Military BPA Free Water Container, Food Grade Water Jug for Camping and Emergency Storage, Plastic Sand
    this). I'm pretty sure I could throw them out of an airplane and they'd be OK, but I'd like to add an on-off water spigot for easy pouring (e.g. over a sink, in an outdoor kitchen, etc).

    Any recommendations on this particular type of water container. I've read the small pour spout has male standard garden hose threads, but haven't tested it, and don't know if on-off spigots even come in that size (female garden hose thread).

    Thoughts / experience to make these things more user friendly? Different forum would be better?

    There are a few threads on the net and Expedition Portal.
    Some YouTube videos as well.
    I don't have the links handy right now. I am planning on doing the same this weekend as my Scepter cans just arrived today.
    I will try to post the links tonight.
