Shorter and square 5 gal buckets with lids now we just need some ways to use the new shaped pails. LOL They look bigger than the standard 5 gallon size when you look at them.

I like to sift my waxing dirt in the wind to get the powder/dust out of it for better drainage. I usually bungee 3-4 round buckets together if I don’t have my commercial vent cap/bell with me when I come across a fresh badger dig. The round buckets have less coverage with a space in the middle of the buckets but the square on square leaves less dirt loss opportunities.

Some of you Sasquatch feet guys might be able to soak your feet in these buckets even. wink

Do you happen to have a measurement on them?

The problem with frozen sewer lines is solved! They still offer free returns for 30 days right?


I have nothing clever to put here.

They ring up as 5 gallon size lids and pails? Like I said they look huge compared to the round ones so it’s confusing but they will work for many things my measurements were straight across the middle not corner to corner and the bottom inside to the top if that helps any.

Yeah,
If they're packaging something in them, they don't fill to the top to sell 5gal.

My hooves are a bit over a foot long. I'm going to have to find a bigger bucket, or put them in diagonally.

330 wolverine buckets? smile


The devil's greatest trick isn't making us think he doesn't exist. It's flattering us. So we don't see..... the devil is us.
