Jolly Tank Water/Fuel Container
The Jolly Tank is a great solution for outdoorsmen who are looking for a portable fuel and water container. Having the ability to store water (or fuel) in times of crisis can be critical to your survival. Many water of the containers out there on the market that can hold more than a gallon are often very hard, bulky and awkward to carry around. Especially if you were to have to carry them with you out in the wilderness or in a remote area that you have walked into. Jolly Tanks are perfect for this type of use! Jolly Tanks are collapsable, lightweight and super easy to use and carry.
The Jolly Tank is a very cool and very useful container for backpacking, hiking, camping, hunting, or even in an emergency survival situation. Jolly Tanks are made to be able to hold fuel (Gasoline, Diesel, etc) for up to six hours or can hold water indefinitely. Jolly Tanks have an integrated heavy duty carrying handle, a pouring spout, and a closure key for closing the bag up tight. Jolly Tanks are easy to fill and easy to pour out either slowly or quickly. The Jolly Tank is perfect for throwing in a glove compartment box, a vehicle console, a backpack, or even a personal survival kit (Click Here to see a mini personal survival kit I built). The Jolly Tanks are also great for a bug out bag (Click the link to learn how to build one), a 72 hour bag, INCH Bag, Vehicle Every Day Carry kit, day pack, etc. The handle is very strong and allows you to hang the bag from a tree brach or tie it up with some cord. You can also just set it on the ground. Check out the video below for how I used a Jolly Tank in my water purification kit.

Have you done any hard testing of the container…. drop tests, drag over the ground, “accidental” punctures? I’m sure it wasn’t developed for harsh usage, but it would be nice to know where its limits are.

I haven’t done a ton of testing yet, but am planning on doing some more and am planning on doing it on video so everyone will get a good look at how durable they are. They aren’t indestructible by any means, but they beat the heck out of trying to use a zip lock bag, or trash bag, etc. I think they have some advantages over Platypus types bags, but probably aren’t as durable over the long run. Of course they aren’t as expensive either. Right now I have them priced as low as $5.00 each if you buy 10 of them. Which sounds like a lot, but if you throw a couple in each of your cars, in case you run out of gas. A couple in you and your spouse’s Bug Out Bag for emergency water storage, etc. And a few in the house to fill with fresh drinking water right before a big storm (in case you loose water service) then 10 is about the right number to have on hand. ANd you can get all ten for about what you would pay for 2 of the bigger platypus bags. So all in all I think they are a pretty good deal. But I will try to get the video out on testing them as soon as I can. Thanks for the comments! Cheers JJ

They are going on their first camping trip the end of this month. I’ll let you know what my preppers think — but I expect their opinion to be awesome!
I can definitely see advantages over the Platypus water tank, the Jolly Tank is a> higher volume, Platy Tanks come in 2,4, and 6 liter b> much smaller and lighter c> cheap enough that disposability is not so much a concern compared . The fuel use is outstanding too, I’d cry if i had to do this to my Platy tank.
Only things the Platy has over this are the ease of topfill, which is also a down side in that the top can pop open depending on how you are carrying it (it’s a lot like a huge zip lock bag with a spout and cap on the side), and the anti microbial coating in the Platypus bags, which I’m sure is reflected in the cost difference.
That thing is cool!
