The Jerrycan is a metal container of water left by unknown persons. Useful, but unfortunately, the can is not a perfect water container, and some contamination has seeped into the liquid within; you'll need to find a way of purifying this water before it can be used. It could also be used as a weapon, if you had the right equipment...

Trivia[edit]
- The term 'Jerrycan' comes from the origin of the object in Germany during the late 1930's and through World War II. 'Jerry' was the derogatory term used to refer to German soldiers by the British; during WWII, when they began taking and using the superior-made Wehrmachtskanister to carry fuel or water instead of their own inferior product, 'Jerry can' or 'Jerry jug' was the term used to refer to them. It stuck. Read more about its history here.
- By the current color scheme used for real-life jerrycans by NATO, these are/were canisters intended for unleaded gasoline. Makes you wonder what we're drinking!
