This to save 100$, he’s so real for that
Can reuse it every summer? Multiple years of savings.
Omg yeah I did not think about that I feel dumb now thanks
Reminds me of when I made weekly trips to Denver for work. This was when recreational weed first came out. First day there I bought a glass pipe and a plastic container.
When I flew back home on Thursday I would bury the bowl in the plastic container behind the hotel I stayed at. On Mondays after I flew back to Denver I would dig up the bowl. Beats buying a new one every week or trying to fly with it.
After many weeks of this routine I didn’t find out until Thursday afternoon that this was my last trip and I wouldn’t be returning.
Some where out in Colorado Springs there is a weed bowl buried in the dirt. I wonder if anyone ever stumbled across it.
You could return to find out what happened to your weed.
First time I visited Denver was also my first time trying weed of any kind. I stuck to edibles, because I never did quite figure out how to smoke it reliably. It’s so sticky! It doesn’t want to light! Ugh! n00b issues. But toward the end of the trip, I just said “fuck it” and left a full 1/8 on the top of a gas station dispenser. Surely made someone’s day.
Dude just reinvented buried treasure
Yeah, and this is going to be a great hidden treasure in a post-nuclear wasteland world. Imagine doing a quest to find this treasure, and once you find it, you get nice pre-war clothes and a physics book that will give you +1 attribute to your science skill for reading it.
Little disappointing given what the box looked like though
Yeah I’d much prefer a stinger missile
With the right physics book, this could turn into a “teach a man how to fish” situation
What kind of big ass fish are you hunting
Really? the battery coolant module is long expired and there are no aircraft to down in the wasteland lol
What about Enclave Vertibirds?
then you better hope you can find some argon and a battery otherwise it’s about as useful as a rock.
That definitely explains the random loot, tho
imagine opening one and finding a stinger… but the coolant’s expired and there are no aircraft to down in the wasteland lol
Actually privately own storage room still cost about 100 € for summer storage today and that’s with inflation.
Yeah but can you chuck it in the river?
No, and I’m very envious of this nice case.
I mean, if it works, who am I to criticize?
Why would you ever sell something this damn cool
Summer… storage?
International students often use it because it’s not feasible to take their stuff home over the summer. I also used Summer storage, because I was estranged from my family, so didn’t have a “home” to go back to and would have to spend the Summer in sublets or couch-surfing (the only accommodation that would accept me as a tenant were student properties, which is why I typically had to be out over the Summer).
So students in the US who live in dorms need to move out during summers even if they come back the next semester? That’s crazy.
My experience is actually in the UK, but based on anecdotes from friends, it’s similar in the US.
In my case, in one of the years, I could apply to stay in university accommodation over the Summer, but the room I was allocated for that was tiny, so I needed to get some storage anyway. It’s annoying as hell
Yeah its ostensibly to do stuff like pest control and maintenance (and my dorms really needed such things), but you’d think you could basically offer a “I’ll keep my arrangements through next year” deal and get summer housing.
My university actually did have apartments and I think my friends were able to stay over the summer in those.
It depends on the school, but here in the US it is generally expected that the majority of students return home for the summer. Most universities have housing available over the summer but it is limited and generally reserved for those with disabilities and graduate students who are expected to attend the school for 4+ years. Most college students only go for a year or two.
Rich kids who don’t feel like taking stuff home for the summer.
or the opposite - kids who can’t transfer all of their things at once for a reasonable amount of money
when i studied at a UK uni i couldn’t really afford shipping all my pots, pans, sheets, and books back and forth from Poland every year
Must be nice to have owned things. At that age I moved house with a backpack and a bin bag. The fun of apprenticeship wages.
A rich kid would toss it all in a dumpster and buy new shit in the fall.
I ain’t dragging 2 carloads of pots, pans, desks, and clothes back home for 3 months when I know I’ll be living in probably the same dorm again very soon. A waste of gas, time, and money.
When I was in college I just stayed in the same dorm and worked. If I had to remove shit I’d have done similar to OP, minus the cool case

Why would you need to take your stuff home?
This is why I’m happy I had summer school.
A high school friend put his Neo geo collection in one of those which was a proclamation of wealth I was unprepared for.
The river was the best option?
The coolest, definitely
I appreciate the commitment to saving $100.
I’d paint over it, just in case someone thinks it might have explosives in it and panics.
I had something similar from a flea market surplus shop when I was in HS and kept it in the bed of my Tacoma to hold tools. It was cool as hell with its desert camo paint and dings and stuff. Well, after 9/11 I became popular with the cops cause I’d get pulled over, and told to stand by the hood of my car with both hands on it, while they checked it.
After about the 5th time, I sold it and bought a bed box.
I have a wooden howitzer ammo crate that I used to keep in the back of my Jeep for tools until a similar traffic incident.
I still have it, it just stays in my garage now.

I need to look more at milsup storage containers.
Them: What’s in your GI footlocker case?
Me: Boots, floggers, and condoms, just like originally intendedShit, actually that sounds like it would be perfect for that… And here I was thinking of buying a giant duffel bag
I am unironically eyeing a giant Army duffel bag for that:
If you get a bigger one,you could sleep in it.
That is, until https://youtube.com/@outdoorsweekly comes along.
I have a toolbox, that was originally a WWII ammunition box.
