.......Now you all have me getting container envy!
That's funny!

After years of collecting "containers," my daughters now save anything they empty and then bring it home - "you want this?" They are trained well because their offerings have gotten better and better over the years. As for the decon containers, like lots of other gear, while in the Army, I collected tons of that stuff when in the field. Guys would lose/leave lying all sorts of stuff - GOOD stuff! I had amassed a laundry basket full of 30-rd M16 mags, which I gave away when I transferred. Worst cool gear find was a large ammo can I risked getting in trouble over retreiving from under a lone fir in the middle of an LZ, which when finally reached turned out to have been used as a toilet! Yep, there was a "log" in that can that nearly filled it up and I had to abandon it. Found out years later my best friend had "booby trapped" that can on purpose!:grumpy:
I guess that strayed a bit OT, but every time surplus gear comes up, I remember that.
