I really bought this just for camping...but can see much more potential now that I have it. Back up water in case of storms that come through and knock out the power, or snow storms, or dousing campfires at the end of the night.Seems to be made with good sturdy material, makes me wonder how many times I can unfold and fold it before getting a hole in it...hhmmm. may have to keep count.The spout is a nice feature, whether on a cookout, camping or just using it for emergency water at the house...that feature will come in handy.
