This is a great container for camping, or other events where you need to lift or lock containers.  At 24 gallons it is not too heavy for a woman to lift when loaded and 2 of them hold all the basics for camping.  Once they are unloaded at the campsite they can be used for seats (for 200-pounders), step stools, or wash basins for dirty dishes.  If you drop them while they're loaded they will not crack, unlike the clear plastic ones (learned this the hard way).  They are lockable and while I have never experienced human thievery while camping, I have experienced the raccoon version so to keep them out I thread long twist-ties through the padlock holes in the handles. I only wish they came in clear plastic, but other than that they are great.
