I don’t exactly understand the situation here but the impulse is truly felt deep. Strapping a goat skull on to my milkcrate now seems exactly like what I should do first thing tomorrow morning. –> Crawling through the USA via John Glynn’s Blog
When someone shows up with a milkcrate full of kittens you know what needs to be done. This happened recently at the humane society in the Bahamas, and they did what any good people would do–get those kitties homes! –> HSGB Updates & ‘Special’ Stories via Bahamas Islands Info
High Street Market on Etsy is selling 2 of these cute vintage wire milkcrates. I’ve considering it, I really am, just $10. –> Vintage White Milk Crate, wire grid with a green handle
This good guy takes his doggie everywhere he rides with this homemade travel crate. I love this idea, and almost did it myself recently on my bike with Punkass. Now that I’ve seen it work, I will definitely give it a try. I usually don’t post pictures with faux crates, but I will make an exception in this case. –> Jones County man rides in style with canine companion via on macon.com
Sometimes a bad situation can create amazing things. These young men found one of their wheels with a flat spot–this, coupled with a good ole’ milkcrate, turned into a powerslide session and some sparkin’ good times.

These are some old photos, from a early issue of Milkcrate Digest starring Andrew Jeffrey Wright.
This popped up from New Hampshire. A vintage Abbott’s Dairy wooden milkcrate for $40. Near Milford, go get it.
I found this in my usual web crawl for crate pics. This fine gentleman and his trusty bike, equipped with a black milkcrate attached by bungee cords to his rack – acting as a trunk. This is the real milkcrate lifestyle. –> via Strangetalk.net
The Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia was host to the Crateman Crew’s milkcrate sphere. The creation uses 688 crates and is pretty big and heavy. It was part of a parade and was also part social experiment. In this case the experiment failed. The hope was that the crowd would join in guiding the crate ball through the route – in reality the people were afraid and the ball got out of control. The powers that be had to stop the ball and it was moved to the safe area as seen in the photo. Does anyone have pics or video of this baby in motion? via–>Wooster Collective, The Crate Sphere
After the Milkcrate Castle was built for Milkcrate Digest #2 was had the problem of getting rid of 800+ milkcrates. We found a milk crate pick up spot at a small cafe, but it was one huge hill from where the castle was built. In the middle of the night, we decided that the best way to get them down the hill was to tie them all together (in the middle of a street) in what we dubbed, “the milkcrate borg ship.” For the first 50 feet, this worked great. Then we hit some kind of pipe in the street. The whole stack came to a halt while the twine gave way, sending crates here and there. We couldn’t move the beast and soon enough a car came. Some frat boy in a Jeep SUV pulled up behind our crates and stopped. He decided for whatever reason to try and run it over. The crates bent, big did not budge. What was left, after he backed up and went around, was a mess. We moved the crates into the a small wooded area near the scene.
We thought this was over – it was not. The following Monday we got a call from the school where all this went down. They found the crates and demanded that we get the crates out of there. What happened couldn’t have been planned. The freshman students were arriving on campus the next day. We made flyers and set up shop near the dorm (the castle was built in one of the dorm patio areas). The flyers promoted our free milkcrate give a away. Within hours all the milkcrates had been given out to incoming students. We had moved the crates back into the dorm one crate at a time.
The real world provides a never-ending supply of material for the blog. I’m not sure where this house is, but they have found a beautiful old wooden & metal Carnation brand milkcrate that is now in use as their firewood box. via–> A Great Leap in the Dark, 11 Weeks Later…
