Fuel!
And oil.

I can't buy herbicides.
That is rough.

The blue drum the saw is sitting used to contain 30 gallons (114 liters) of Glyphosate (Roundup). Here anyone can buy it without restriction. Heck a kid can buy it but he/she cannot buy a can of spray paint.

I will see with any of my neighbors that are registered farmers and own permits to get me some herbicides.
I don't need much of it, but will use it generously.

Not going to spray large areas.
But certainly want to kill all and any weeds growing out of concrete & tarmac cracks, possibly kill everything for the year in rain drainage ditches.

If you can find someone selling used IBC totes that used to contain weedkiller (most likely glyphosphate) there may be a litre or two left over inside. And you will also have a storage crate for firewood.

That is a tiny firewood crate I have no means to move around.

And "poisonous" IBC totes go for up to 100€ here.
I will rather pay someone to buy me herbicides as it would take numerous "flushes" to utilize the tote for collecting rain water for plants and animals.

It is a solid idea, just not in my region.
I can get "hygienically clean" totes for the same price as "contaminated" ones.

7 pairs of logger boots. I already have buyers remorse.

A $200 logger boot shootout. Will switch boots everyday. Will report on what's good and what's garbage:

Found a same year, same paint code, 99% complete Silverado with a bad frame (rotted frame in the usual 2 spots for this year) thats been sitting behind a dealership about a half hour north of me. Cab and bed are rough but it had some clean, great condition front fenders which is what caught my attention as my passenger fender has a rust hole in one spot on the lip. Gave $75 for each fender. Got to talking with the guy and told him i had the exact identical truck and will be back for more parts. He offered the whole truck to me for another $350 so for $500, im going to have nearly complete parts truck with fully intact drivetrain and it has a bed full of scrap metal he wants to go with the truck because he's tired of looking at it. Just gotta spot blast the couple of surface rust spots on the fenders where the factory mud flaps were rubbing on the paint, do a little paint touch up, wet sand and blend in the clear coat, quick buff and im in business.

1999 was a long time ago. Do you think Neo could help you?

Those line heads are awesome!
I should have spares for a while.
