I try to bring about 50 gallons of water to run my recirculating Gold Cube setup. I have a 50 gallon water tank that I can load into my SUV.

I use a recirculating sluice and always have (7) 7 gallon water jugs with me. I usually go through 5 jugs. That includes my panning trough.

Would it be best to use/buy plastic containers designed for drinking water so that you don't have the oils from the plastic in your water?

I take 5 5gal buckets. Run 20 gal in the 1100gph recirc and 5gal for panning

something that has not been said here is that on average you will need 1 gallon of water for every 5 gallon of dry dirt that you run.

Also bear in mind you are looking at right at 8 lbs per gallon for transport, and if you can't park near where you are working, for packing it to where you are.

That's why all prospectors need a burro!
