I think this is for the cosplaying "mountaineers" that is a trending life style at the moment. I'm sure you've seen them. They usually drive 4Runners all goosed up to the heels with "outdoorsman" gear. Shovels, ladders, orange wheel things to get unstuck from mud traps, all in pristine never used condition of course. Kinda like Harley Davidson cosplayers.

Harbor freight are $60 and the neck/spout are not nato standard. I wouldn't waste the money.

much better deal.

has a spout, don't have to spend time cleaning it up, and it'll have a good lining.

Is been a few years. I think this is probably close still. But this is an related to the EPA restrictions that messed up all gas cans.

I think the closest you get now is the valpro/wavian with a nato spout. The harbor freight are Jerry can style with that screw on mess. Even though they are made by Midwest can.

If you just want the form factor harbor freight gets you that but it's a shit pour still. Vs NATO standard.

Granted you might be at $100 a can at that point. Possibly legal issues driving with them. But also lifetime cans so.

Example. The locking flap/neck

Vs the screw on mess

And just to be clear my understanding is the same parent company makes both. Both. If I'm going down a gas can rabbit hole. To get 4. Eh. What's another bit to have the better format
