Enjoy.
 
Took these buckets canoe camping. Stored food, clothes, sleeping bags. Tied them to the center bar of the canoe and no fear of damp clothes or sleeping bags or losing them because they'd float.&nbsp; Once at the campsite, used the buckets as stools and table, and as a water collecter.&nbsp; Because of the handles they were easy to carry during portaging and hoisting into the trees when bear proofing.&nbsp; These are great...Now...where to get them for free!<br><br>Painter, drywaller, greasy fast food joint...any other ideas?<br><br>Rae<br><br>
 
We used to get them free from a bakery. They were food safe. I forget what came in them.
 
Frosting.&nbsp; They are used a lot in Girl Scouting and referred to as "pickle buckets".&nbsp; We used to get them from fast food places, but the pickle odor tended to linger no matter what.<br><br>Vickie
