We just did a bulk order for our group, NIORA, but have some extras from people who backed out. They're the Scepter 5 gallon (actually 20 Liters which is slightly bigger) military olive drab. I understand they will be impossible to get in the US after 1/1/09, but they're still the best. No rust, no leaks, no rattle, and crush proof. They're expensive at $75 but they're the best. These are brand new. Email or pm me if you're interested. We don’t have many andI don’t expect us to be able to get any more.



I also have some expedition type handheld radios for sale. I have 2 versions. One are ICOM F4S UHF radios. I have 6 of these. They are $85 each with charger, antenna and battery. They're a full 4 watts and can be programmed to the FRS/GMRS frequencies. They are 32 channel. A nice feature about them is they have a full 8" antenna (much better than the blister pack radios). The antenna is removable and the radio can be attached to a roof mounted antenna for awesome range and reception. They have been refurbished and tuned. I'd be happy to program them for you.

The other ones are identical but the model is an ICOM F3S which is the VHF version. VHF is a full 5 watts but not compatible with FRS/GMRS radios. But they are compatible with Ham radio 2-meters, MURS, Marine band, and weather channels. The F3S is $85 also.

We used them both on expeditions depending on what others in the area were using. Keep in mind UHF and VHF are both FM (just like FRS/GMRS and unlike CB) so they are line-of-sight. We've easily gotten a legimate 20 miles out of them in open terrain, like the desert. Mountains will limit their range just like any other radio. But they're excellent radios. The military used them in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is a picture of two of them. Both versions look identical


I also have a ICOM mobile unit for sale. It's an F221 UHF. 128 channels and 50 watts. Great radio. Amazing range and clarity. It's like new with mounting bracket, microphone and manual. The radio is $210, matches up with the F4S UHF radios and I can program them for you too.






Email or pm me.

 

Actually olive drab is not the right description. They're more of a brown. I think we have about 6-8 extras.

 

Here is the update.

The F221 base/mobile is probably sold awaitng payment.

There are just 6 fuel cans unspoken for and when their gone I think that might be it. Here is a photo of part of our group purchase. If you still want one email me.

I was able to get some more in if your interested. They're exactly the same, brown, brand new, and the best. I also have some used Scepter water cans that are tan. They're $17.50

 

I would like to get 2 water and 2 petrol cans. Where do i pay? Thank you

 

I have some used ones for sale too. Hereare some photos. They are in great shape, look great, do not leak and have good gaskets. Some may have small military markings on them. I have both tan and brown. They are $70 plus $13 shipping for one, and $7 shipping for additional ones. I also have some water cans which are $17.50 plus shipping. Email me at srisken623@aol.com if you are interested.
I may have new ones in the future but not yet.

 

Those cans look really great, I was about to purchase one of this but I'm not sure if I'll go for it.

 

i have the exact same fuel/water cans in my rover. me and a buddy have 6 of them between us - some how our military unit had "extras" - dont ask... anyway, these things are GREAT. they are pretty much indestructible. i havent managed to break one yet and im the idiot who once broke an army kevlar helmet with it on my head...
