Sturdy Water Jugs? 5+ gallons

Dajia Hao! I am looking for reliable, durable water jugs that one might use on extended camping trips, rafting trips. We've previously only found very flimsy plastic jugs that end up breaking after a week of moderate use. Anybody have tips on where to get 'military' grade plastic containers?

Cheers, and Thanks!

I bought 20L white plastic water carriers in my local hardware store. They stood up to a lot of abuse. They have a double lid, white innner and black screw cap, but still dribble. However, if kept upright they do the job. They were kitchen grade.
You might find something more substantial at Lousiwan, but maybe not. I have yet to see the heavy duty black poly carriers.

Thanks, Tiger. We're doing rafting trips out on the Nu Jiang this spring and have had lots of frustrations with water jugs in the past. We're even considering bringing a few over from the states as luggage just because of the durability issues.

Where do you buy your double capped jugs at?

I just got them in the local, hole in the wall, hardware store.
When you say rafting. Are you building a raft using these things for floatation? OMG
