John,
For home water storage I use and really like the GI Runt. Holds 2.5 gallons, very sturdy, the water tastes fine even after six months. Cost about $19 per container but well worth the money IMO. Brigade Quartermasters carries it (sorry, I haven't yet learned how to post a link).
Thanks "Nurit" for this referral. It's a bit more money than I was planning on spending but it looks like it will fit just about perfectly in the space I've got.
It's tough trying to organise a Subaru wagon with what I need to work as well as with the emergency/survival stuff I need. I work as an onsite medic and have to bring my own kit of supplies/equipment to every job. A full size backboard takes up a fair amount of space in a car for those who don't know...;^)
