As used barrels in the Arctic

Any object, as is known, can be used for evil as well as good. Kill you can even pan, although it would seem - the usual innocuous dishes. The same can be said about the barrel. When they are filled with something, for example, fuel - are useful. When they are lying idle - useless. When they are holed and poured petroleum products - are harmful.

This is why it is considered that the barrels can be used only for the storage of substances. And if the barrels are empty, they are automatically converted into the trash. However, people living and working in the Arctic, would disagree. Perhaps the use of empty drums, as it turns out - a lot.

The easiest and most obvious example - as a guide. In the tundra or polar desert, where no trees or tall buildings, focus on the eye - is extremely difficult and sometimes impossible in principle. It is very easy to deviate from the route and disappear into unknown expanses. Therefore, the road fork, ducts and other necessary places often mark it barrels.
