Hey there revscene! So I've got a few little projects I'd like to do around the house, and I'm looking to see if anyone knows if you can still get these things? I hit up a few liquor stores today around Richmond looking for them but to no avail.

Does anyone know if any stores carry them in the gvrd? Or alternatively have one sitting above their cabinets empty or in their man-cave somewhere. Would be super helpful and am willing to pay more than the 5c deposit :p

They look like this by the way. Thanks!

I asked a recycle depot but they were rude and gave me a "are you expecting us to look through all these cans?" Sort of attitude. Oh well.

Oh well. I'll keep my eyes open for them

I'm building up a lightweight food prep system for hiking/backpacking and motorcycle camping for the summer. I'm going to be making two sets. One is going to be store bought (with a cheap price in mind) such as proper alcohol stoves, nesting pot/pan sets etc etc. but I'm also going to build a DIY cheap-as-chips set, with things like the home made alcohol stove, repurposed Heineken can for pot/cup/storage etc

Then ask them if you can look and you will give them $5 if you find one?

Haven't found any yet but I hit up daiso and found a suitable $2 replacement for now. Pics later but it's s "oil container" where you'd pour used oil from frying at home.

by the looks of things its back 10 years ago and only released in the stats. I have a buddy with a bubba keg but I'm sure thats a tad big.
