Unless I somehow missed it, no one has mentioned the old in the woods where your hunting use as a sealable latrine or toilet. Don't want those deer smelling your

They make a seat to fit them too!

I cut a few in half length way, get yourself some cheap L brackets and attach them to the garage wall for storing smaller garden tools.
Cover small plants before spraying Round-up.
We have those shrink up garden hoses. I cut drain holes in them then roll 200 feet of hose in them. Got the handles for toting them around from the front of the house to the back.

fill them with cement and put them in the middle of the road about 10 o clock at night so the guy who has been doing 80 plus miles an hour every night for the past 13 months at 11:10 pm when he gets off work will have to slow down or maybe come to a complete stop.

nothing nice coming out of my head for them

wait midget basket ball nets

or if you are crafty type of person, you can leave the handle but cut the rest the bucket to make hail hats for cows. can use the metal handle as a chin strap. that way when the thunderstorm hits and it hails the cow will not get bonked in the head with hail.

man I have to get out of South Dakota, I think the reason are becoming obvious

I also have one as a squirrel feeder in the backyard.
Cut two mouse holes in the bottom sides.
Screw a retired ventilated metal pizza pan to the bottom.
Fill it with sunflower seeds.
Screw a hunk of roofing tin to the lid to keep the rain off.
It sits on a small platform attached to the side of the bird feeder post.

Mom and Dad had an outside dog and he'd cut one in half and use the bottom half as a water dish.

I buy a LOT of oil in 5 gallon buckets. When I get too many, and can't give them away, I just throw them in the dumpster. I probably have around 25 empty ones on hand all the time. Guess I'm not much help. LOL

I had used them for a seat when hunting, fishing, etc.

Have also used them for "parts soaker" when partially filled with mineral spirits, kerosene, diesel.

Thanks guys, lots of "good" ideas in here, especially for those looking to dispose of those pesky body parts in a simpler, more sanitary way

Add a plastic Coke bottle, a coat hanger, drill four holes, smear some peanut butter on the Coke bottle,,,,,,,

and you got a repeating mouse trap!
