Vintage U.S.G.I. 36 Gallon Lyster Bag
Built for rugged field conditions, the U.S. G.I. 36 Gallon Water Lyster Bag is an authentic piece of military history and a practical solution for large-scale water storage in the outdoors. Originally designed for use by the U.S. Armed Forces, this heavy-duty canvas water bag is made to hold and dispense up to 36 gallons of potable water, making it ideal for camps, emergency preparedness, and historical reenactments. The bag includes a lid/cover and six water faucets around the base. In use, it is hung from an improvised tripod of tent poles or locally cut material, hung away from anything that could cause potential contamination, such as a tree. These vintage bags are dated from the 1970's and 1980's.
