    Default One or 2 gallon water jug that will withstand freezing

    I typically carry a gallon of water in my truck. Every year about the time of the first cold snap I remember that I left it in the bed and it freezes and breaks.

    Does anyone know of a water jug of one or 2 gallons in capacity that can withstand multiple freezing cycles?

    Typical gallon juice bottle from a store. Get one with a handle and tie it down or tie your milkcrate down.
    I think mine is a old apple juice or cran-apple bottle. Tinted windows slow the growth of algae during the summer.

    Adding 6-8 drops of bleach per gallon will do the same.

    Arizona sweat tea gallon at Walmart. Very thick jugs.

    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    Just don?t tip it off and the liquid should have room to expand when it freezes?

    I thought the tip would shrink if exposed to cold?

    Arizona tea jug could be a good low cost option. Had a couple freeze after being left overnight & they didn't fail. Unsure about repeated exposure though.

    I freeze one gallon Hawaiian Punch bottles to use in coolers and for extra water while camping, haven't had one break yet.
