I was just explaining that one of the @emf team has bought their own personal shipping container for prototyping purposes and had a real moment of What The Hell Are We Doing Here

@emf My partner pointed out that a reasonable response to "one of my friends has bought a shipping container" is "which one", because I need both hands to count the possibilities

@jonty @emf I bought one for our desert hackerspace and wish we had something similar for the European hacker camps.

@th @jonty @emf we had one of those for parcel storage at #cccamp19. It was way to small, as a lot of attendees shipped their camping stuff via parcel services. :D

@th @jonty @emf it's not really common to have such a giant forklift like that - nothing we rent has the 1200mm fork spacing required for 20ft containers, so the predominant option is a lorry mounted crane - HIAB etc

There are lots of issues with them, but at least they're very cheap
