A bulk water container issued to wildland firefighting crews on the fireline or in spike camps. It consists of a heavy-duty cardboard cube housing a flexible plastic bag with a spigot. Crews use them to refill their personal canteens and bladder bags during long operational periods in remote areas without potable water access.
