I know there are many kinda, grades and even sizes of buckets that are use for many, many, things.....But
Was wondering about life span....and if they are kept out of sunlight so they don't UV.
Have some of the preps as well as other goods stashed in sealed buckets and have had them stored for several years.
At "The Place" I was cleaning out a shed, and came across a bucket w/ top that I had cracked corn in.
Must have been in the bucket for at least 5 years,...used the corn to feed pheasants I was raising for dog training.
The lid was a snap on and had gotten hard, and broke when I tried to open and dump.
Bucket had been from a bakery, then had cherry filing in it to start with....and have no idea how long I have had it for sure.
I know buckets get UV'ed by being out side, as a lot of garden buckets....for various things, UV and crack after a while, but this was the first one kept inside that did it to me.
Just wondering if any one has given it any thought.
Did some searching and mostly came across guys using them for making beer and such, and were concerned on taste rather tan getting hard.
