#1 Not likely full. Since they aren't going to have forklifts handy to move those around, they probably are no heavier than two people can lift and carry in a hurry. 55gal of water is close to 450lbs. No two men are going to be carrying that by hand anywhere in a hurry.

#2 I would have supposed that the homemade explosives would be something like ANFO which is substantially lighter than water...

of course as pointed out by crosspatch logistics of moving the stuff would keep you from overfilling.

if you had a tight lid, and the stuff was stable (big if for homemade boom boom)you could lay the barrels on their side and roll them.

#3 another idea...

You can bury a 55gal drum and hide stuff in it. then you only need to uncover the top and lift our your goodies at a later time. in that kind of scenario, you would definitely not have it completely full, but would have containers, sacks, and boxes of stuff in there with a fair bit of empty space...
