Life hack I figured out, impromptu bucket, for oil changes and draining fluids. Get a cardboard box that fits and line it with a garbage bag. Drain oil into bag. Tie up up bag and put box and bag into another bag for transport. Or you can cut the corner of full bag to drain into a jug with out making a mess or funnels. Hell got no funnel? Pour the clean oil into a clean bag and cut the corner of and fill engine.

So a bag.
The bag is neat and everything but let's talk about Knipex
I’ve used these when we’re were in Scouts canoeing in Minnesota to collect our water from the middle of the lakes.. but I’ve never thought about using one like this.. I feel silly and now I’m excited about a bucket too.
Quite dull. Well done.
Years ago I got a collapsing portable dog water bowl for when we went out on walks. It's not exactly practical to carry a normal bowl or let them drink from our bottles.
Anyway it took me about a year of fumbling about with bottles and little containers before I realised I could just use the dog bowl. DOH. (I bought them a new one after I used theirs)
If it needs to collapse to get into the space, how do you get it out once it is full of water?
Usually it won't fill up, it just there to catch whatever is in the pipes. Even if it spills some at least you contained whatever was got in the bucket. It is also possible to retighten whatever fitting was draining, empty the bucket and put it back to drain again.

Praise the reassurance bucket. Everything is automatically better when in the cold, metallic embrace of the bucket.

technically you weren't excited about a bucket when you found two for free. But I can respect the dull drive-by bragging.
This person tries to get on flights with their clothes stuffed into buckets.
Seems more exciting than a free ordinary bucket. Unless maybe you're a walrus?
Those are cool to have. I've owned a couple of them over the years. But I don't currently have a bucket. I do have a couple of crunchable pocket dog water dishes though.
