Dru Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 looking for some drums for the talking heads reunion album ? Quote
John Frieh Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 I have no clue if this is what you are looking for but pika makes haul drums... and they are blue... Quote
Fromage Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 In this country we use drybags. They are cheap, versatile, and easy to rig. And they hurt less when you get thrown into them in the middle of a class 5 rapid. The best are from Jack's Plastic Welding, look 'em up. Quote
cj001f Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Try these people. Just ask for one pre "raining" http://www.rainbarrelsandmore.com/ Some canyoneers have started using barrels instead of drybags because things don't get crushed. Same reason why pack baskets are still somewhat popular canoeing http://www.imlaygear.com/kegs.htm Quote
Plinko Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Do an internet search for "water storage barrels" and see whate turns up...Heaps of 30 and 55 gal options. Since they're so big, you're gonna eat it on the shipping costs, so see if you've got someone local that has or can get them... Quote
Kevin_Ristau Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Eureka makes a line of barrels. Three sizes, clamping lid. Try Skyview Outdoors, under the Patullo bridge in Surrey. 604-580-3777 Quote
fern Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Â talk to your local Greek restaurant or specialty supermarket. Or skulk in their alley looking for empty olive barrels to steal which is what my friend did for a trip to Baffin. Or buy 100L of olives yourself and start eating! Quote
