I went over to Sportsman's Guide's website today (as I all too often do), looking for a quick way to relieve myself of my money. I think, over the years, that I have spent at least $4000 on that silly website...
In any case, they are having a discounted sale on 155mm mortal shell cans. These cans are 26x6.5x20 (approx) and made of good quality steel. They weight 28.6 pounds.
Currently the price is 11.95 or so. With a member's discount, it comes out to 10.77. These are excellent containers for all your water, medical, ammo, etc SHTF supplies, especially if you live in an earthquake-prone zone as I do. It does no good to hoard hundreds of gallons of water only to have your roof cave in a crush all those little boxes and jugs... nor would it be a good idea to allow rodents / insects / floodwater to turn your supplies into so much slush.
But here's the real kicker - apparently, SPG is not charging heavy/bulky shipping fees on these cans!
I was able to buy 8 cans and 1 Euro Wood Locker box (26 pounds, also no bulky fees), for a total combined weight of about 300lbs, for about $100. Shipping was about $11, and after using a $10 coupon that you get whenever you spend more than $50 at SPG, I was able to get all 9 containers for about $100, shipped.
These are containers that will take a beating from heck and still keep your supplies safe. If you are in any way planning for SHTF, you really might benefit from walking over and taking a look... before they run out. This is an unbelievable bargain IMHO, esp. if you think about how much these containers cost at local stores, or worse yet, Uncle Sam.
