I agree on the roadside find analysis; have picked up two sparkling new H.D. 
orange five gallon buckets in our 600' road/ditch frontage; told Barbara 
that is my decade's pay for trash pickup before mowing the ditch.
Don’t believe we should have to drop $50 for a decent compromise five gallon 
gas can, unless it is also rust free. Herb(GA)

I have one of those industrial safety cans where the lid is spring loaded 
and part of the handle.   A little tough to pour but very safe and self 
venting.  A pretty decent compromise of all competing design requirements 
all the way around if you ask me.   Cost about $50 but free when you find it 
beside the road.  (-;
