the ring is removed. The bottom cut out. The barrel with lid countersunk so it doesn't fall over. Hole cut in top. You sit on it for business. Needs no more detail!????

5 gal. pail works just as well and are freethe ring is removed. The bottom cut out. The barrel with lid countersunk so it doesn't fall over. Hole cut in top. You sit on it for business. Needs no more detail!
I don't understand your comment. The barrels are installed by the Canot Camping staff..the agency that runs La Verendrye ( a park). The barrels are fixed . They are not porta potties.5 gal. pail works just as well and are free
Pretty basic math regardless of who did the work or the location: 1) 30L blue barrel - $60+; 1) 5 gal. pail - $0 to $5I don't understand your comment.

I really dont understand this path of thinking. 5 gal bucket countersunk is a Turkish Toilet. Not many can sit on something only six inches high to do business and in a high use area the cone of deposit would mount quickly. Is the concept of using a barrel as a thunderbox escaping you?. Can we please get back to the topic of blue barrels vs other containers for food and gear use in a portable state.Pretty basic math regardless of who did the work or the location: 1) 30L blue barrel - $60+; 1) 5 gal. pail - $0 to $5
Why are you paying $60 for a barrel??? I've bought several and never paid more than $20! I get them at shipping supply places (the guys that sell used boxes), and sometimes pick them up for free if they have a lot of labels and marker on them- a rubdown with alcohol takes off the marker, and goof off removes the adhesive after you peel off the labels
Why are blue barrels blue? Only?
Glenn,
IIRC, blue barrels are blue because they're food-grade barrels... whatever was inside was safe to ingest and maybe the plastic itself isn't toxic.
OT wrt those white plastic pails... give them the sniff test if they're being given away free outside some bulk food shop or delicatessen. Pickled herring, whew. Almond butter, not bad.
