      Have one in my yard it was here when I moved into this house I'm in. I actually wanna buy like 100 more lol. Not that many. But 2 more so I have 3 for rainwater, and a bunch for trees until I find my Perma settlement. Metal ones for burn barrels and grills DIY projects like this video it's cool you never know what might be down in someones basement in that 55 gallon drum yk what I'm sayin, sometimes you dump the contents in the ocean or in your backyard dirt so the grass don't grow no more aha..... And so now you have to repurpose it or burn it and then clean anything that may pertain to that barrel in your burn pit or wherever you huen it or idk.
      You know what I'm saying.

    I put mine in the back of my pickup that I pull behind my RV. Leave my RV at camp then go to town for water. Also I installed a spigot to make it easier to fill the RV using a harbor freight little pump. I love it! I’m making a video today about it so Ck it out later in the week.

    I used mine as a bass amplification shell for my $50 photive/bugani m90 bluetooth boombox with rear firing 3" passive radiator and they enabled it to play bass tones as low as 25hz audibly. bungeed to a rear bike rack, firing back and away (cuz aerodynamics bro!) from you is a basically a $50 mobile bicycle Subwoofer cannon that Will play for 8+ hours. Louder with less distortion than my 250/300$ first edition Jbl Xtreme. Certain to ruin every other picnic at your next public cookout/picnic. Lol.

    I just found out that if you need a lid for these 55 gal. barrels, you can cut the top off 1 1/2 inches from the top and flip it over. Not a tight fit but will keep rain out.

    I use plastic drums to wash crawfish prior to boiling. I have a small drum that fits inside a larger drum. The small drum has holes at the bottom for water and holes at the top made for lifting by hand. I put the small drum inside the large drum. I fill the small drum with crawfish, I then fill the large drum with water. of course the small drum also fills with water. Raising and lowering the small drum 18 inches or so causes the water to flow past the crawfish, rinsing them.

    Buckets and drums are all it takes to rivet together a bully proof armor: the funny plastic cladding is unintentionally terribly-resistant to brief and exploratory assaults by antagonists and focused predatory attacks; an armored plastic-clad opponent is all but fireproof.

    Love the "boat dunk tank" or, as I'd call it, outboard motor test tank. I've used cutt-off barrels BUT I cut them top-to-bottom; didn't think of opening up the side and laying it down. BUT, you now have to prevent the rolling!
