Zog,
Con-Ex containers are AWESOME!! Neighbor has 3 of them, 2 big ones and one smaller one.
We have 2 here at the house and he keeps one at one of the local shopping centers that he has a snow plow account for. He keeps salt stored inside it.
All of them showed very little wear when arrived and the little one looks brand new.
Storing wood would in one would be an awesome idea! They are actually vented so they can breathe and they are insanely built.
The trickiest issue has been unloading them off of the tractor trailer but it's not a problem.
ANOTHER possible option that a few of my friends utilize. Semi trailers. You can get them relatively cheap and just dig out so the butt end of the trailer is at ground level.
They are not built like Con-ex containers but for a storage shed.......pffffft, who cares. Would get the job done.
ETA - It's early and reading is fundamental. I missed the last part of you talking about semi trailers.
View attachment 332989 An open ended shed is quick and easy to build, for minimal money. I hang tarps on each end for winter.
I'm in real bad need of spring wood (ya' know?? shoulder season wood). When (if ) it ever starts warming up I cringe at the thought of burning oak into April and possibly May... that just don't seem right. There is one dead elm I can get to relatively easy along the north edge of the yard. It just started dropping bark last fall... thinkin' I'll make that into firewood this weekend and get it in the basement so it can start drying out some. Still, I'll be workin' in at least knee-deep snow... might haft'a actually use the pickup to haul it up to the house. If we would get a few days above freezing with sunshine in the next couple weeks I may be able to get into the woodlot by March... at least parts of it.
No doubt about it... my firewood supply has takin' a serious hit this year. Nothing but oak left in the stacks.

I own the snowshoes, and there's a toboggan in one of the sheds somewhere.
Let me think about that for a second... ummm... I'm thinkin'... NO‼

Got to love motorized conveyance though. At least these old bones do!
hey Zog,are you ready for more ice?BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Heck, I remember some of my more fun dates with wild hippy girls was to go out on cold and dry winter nights, camp out with no tent right on top of the snow and watch the northern lights.
Been there,done that.
ha you all talking like you got a cord or so left, I got enough till about 4 o'clock

I got about about 5 small ash (8-10") that had died and am buring that. If i had not gotten them out this weekend I would have only had a week or so of wood. I used to have a couple of years of wood but we moved this spring and I had to start from scratch. The new house has an OWB whick I love but was not ready for the amount of wood I needed. Won't make that mistake again. By the way I did not use the snow shoes but I was dragging the rounds out of the woods on a small sled I built with my two daughters. Need to get the mammoth donkeys trained to log and make life easier on me and the girls.
