A Box of Water Ration Cans is a box that holds 6 Water Ration Cans. It is a compact store of sealed drinking water. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Army surplus stores are the sure place to find a full box.
Eating
The water is in the cans inside the box. Each Water Ration Can opens with a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone. The cans are sealed, so the water inside stays clean. A box of six is a handy reserve to keep beside a food store.

Storage
Sealed cans keep for a very long time, so a box of water rations suits a long term store. The cans are best opened one at a time, only when they will be drunk. Packing loose cans back into a box saves weight and keeps a store tidy.
