It will be offsite so its not reasonable to be able to transport anything heavy from the unit.

For contents: http://www.150th.com/history/en_punch.htm - that's the traditional one we always used. For what to serve it in, use a large storage can or small foot locker (cleaned out of course)

Back in the day, the Seabees used a combustible pot in the burn-out latrines. Just slide it out and hit it with a torch. We used one which we lined for the grog bowl. Funny watching folk dive in for the strawberries. If you want real light, find a small cooler with the logo of the school on it that you know the Skipper hates, and have some fun with that. My crew decided they'd get a USC cooler knowing I graduated from UCLA. Kinda sucked when they found out at the event that I had a rug from that school as well. God level move on my part.

Drinking out of a picket pounder is sure to create new smiles, and memories. Special ingredient gauntlet glove, or boots, boots are always good. Dont be a seaman and use new stuff. Get the oldest grimmest glove or boot. Engineer punch recipe is found online, just be sure to double the liquor amounts and always always add a bottle of everclear. And, always charge someone with sampling out of his shoe. Makes for memorable stains. I've hosted quite a handful of these in my 20 years and never had a boring one. Makes for good comraderrie. Dont be bashful...

Using a new unused galvanized garbage can is a good idea.

Using a mermite can would be a good idea for a grog bowl.
