jerry cans
Portable fuel containers
Jerry cans are sturdy, rectangular metal containers designed for transporting fuel or water, typically holding about five gallons.
The flat-sided design allows efficient stacking and storage.
Originally German military equipment adopted during World War II, the name comes from "Jerry," British slang for Germans.
We filled the jerry cans before heading into the backcountry.
