Using a group of people, a length of rope, and a sturdy pole, what would be the best way to move a 55 gallon drum full of sand over a distance?

Edit: I know it’s going to be heavy. It will weigh approx. 855lbs. Rolling it (especially up a hill) is not an option.

Anyone know where I can get or purchase a 55-gallon drum in or near Stockbridge, GA?

Need one to burn some yard debris like pine needles, pine cones and small limbs in a yard which was neglected for about a year. A 55-gallon drum would be perfect to burn the debris in.

I have a blue 55 gallon drum. I want to use it to make into a stage prop size roll of film. Im going to paint it black. How can i make the negative part? I want it to look like a negative strip coming out from the drum and somehow apply oversize photos on it to make it look more real. this will be outside so it needs to be durable. its also for charity so it needs to be done cheap.

Any one know where to purchase or get free a 55 gallon drum near Bloomington, IN?
