Hi,

Does anyone know what size jerry cans are litre wise at ADSC because my friend said he could get me some to use for practice. but there are so many different sizes I want to make sure that he gets the right ones.
Thanks

Try google

I have but there's a quite a few different sizes like 5.10.20 litre.
And If I just search army jerry cans it then just comes up with fuel cans and stuff.

Average size we used to have was the five gallon can which wouuld now be the 20 litre

Yes 20 litres

Don't start running around with jerrrycans on your back just yet, concentrate on some decent running road/grass mix.

I have been!
My running time is fine.
It;s just up upper body strenght I failed on at the Pre ADSC well the Jerry cans I was rubbish at.

Get your hands on a couple of water cooler bottles (With handles), there 18.9l so a little short of the weight but not by much. Thats what im using im up to 300m now, dont know why im still going as I hear they only make you do 150m. Wont be happy till I smash every test

Ah thanks people =)

each jerry can weighs 20kg's mate

Yeah it's 20k in each hand. So obviously a jerry can in each hand. For a distance of 150 metres.

I passed this test...I dropped 1 of them just 5 metres short...not the weight it's the grip!

How much time do you get to cover the 150m with the cans?
Is it pass/fail or a graded result?

Its not really time as you will do it in a group keeping to a pace set by the pti which I believe is 5.4kph. I was told its manily to check for people with weak wrists so you dont snap during basic but it could be a fail if your joining the engineers, bits of bridge aint light. The run is pass or fail but everything you do is put into the system and your given a grade. Higher your grade quicker you get in so find your limit then go over it on all the tests. Their looking for commitment.

yup ChrisP69 is exactly right.

I dropped them 5 metres short but I showed determination etc so didn't fail. You just give it your all.
