Better (better meaning leads hassle with lid) than a 20 joint compound pail is either an olive container with screw lid and o ring, or similar but beefier chemical container with handles and ca action clamping lid. Chemicals inside were harmless, bacterial culture media and one had poly lactide.
We have a range of sizes, from 5 litres to 50. Really great things for van camping.

I think he traveled around with his dog, charlie about 1965 in a pick up with a camper on the back. Now if only he had waited until 1968 and taken a nice Bay window!
