One of the first things I did after picking up my land in the forest was to acquire and have a 20 foot shipping container dropped on site. The bill was just over 2000$ and it came on a tilt bed roll-a-way type truck, he dropped it in one of the few clear flat spots. The container served as a garage for a bulldozer and anything else I didn't want stolen. The bulldozer came a month or so later. The container was delivered painted dark orange/brown with numbers marked all over it. It looked bad and so I painted it inside and out with oil based enamel tinted to an olive drab. Much better.
As I cleared the land, I decided I needed to move the container further back into the woods since the only thing more theft deterent than a metal container is a hidden metal container. The dozer is to be replaced with a 20k$ Kubota before too long so I wanted to add a little to the security.
Well it turns out that these things are a little heavy. I think the tare weight is near 5000 lbs. I didn't know if I could move it but the dozer just grunted a bit to break it loose and then we started sliding.
I was impressed with how well the drug container smoothed the road.
