The "Gear I love" thread - An open list for good gear

Adding another one: the bottom cut out of an IBC into tall tray for the back of an SUV hatchback, or even some station wagons.
Their footprint fits perfectly in the back of most vehicles with a cargo space, and they make a completely leak-proof container for your muddy gear, dead animals, paint and oil containers etc.
I've been using one for about a year and loving it. I can just toss whatever I want in there and not worry about leaks. If something does leak, just pull the tray out and hose it down and you're good as new. Only downside is that stuff tends to slide around in them a bit more.

You can get an IBC for free if it's damaged, or $10-$40 for a used one without the cage that hasn't had something poisonous in it, and you can make two trays out of them depending on how you cut them.

Cut it at least 10cm+ tall to keep things contained and not sloshing over the sides. 20-30cm is probably better. You can cut it equally on all sides as a tray, or all the way to vehicle internal roof height on three sides, and leave the fourth low for access through the back of the vehicle.
