Max Balances 15 crates, at Age 13

Young Max, age 13, is a balancing force. He is already doing 15 milk crates on his chin. I think Jon Evans record of 98 (on his head) is in jeopardy. –> Awesome! Watch Max Balancing 15 Milk Crates via YouTube

Souped up (with crates) Corolla

Anthony has pimped his Corolla with an innovative milk crate storage rack. It adds extra storage beyond the trunk. It is done with serious conviction and execution. I love it. Anthony and his buddy Gilbert clean up after tourists at the Mimosa Rocks National Park. –> deep roots technology via iconophila

Words About Milkcrates

Rarely, ok never, do I post without a pretty picture of a milkcrate. This will be the one exception. Instructables has a great coversation going about the pressure that a milkcrate can withstand. It’s pretty nerdy and totally awesome. Then I found some guy who loves milkcrates and relates the whole thing to marketing. Who would have thought you could write so much about the lowly milk crate?

Milkcrate Toilet

This is not for everyone, but the crate potty is a truly hardcore development for anyone who wants to live the milkcrate lifestyle. The creator sees this device as a human composting system, not just a place to read. You decide for yourself. –> Humanure Dry Toilet Made From a Milk Crate, via Homegrown Evolution
