In my bucket is the extensions, toilet paper, MRE's and cans of food, hygiene products, bottled water, water purification, more first aid supplies, and a radio. As both are emptied they can be consolidated to my backpack and the bucket can just be used for just water. Now realize that both of these are designed to get me to my next cash. This is not the DO all.... it is just designed to get me to my next cash. So there is planning involved to know your routes and have your cashes buried.
These buckets can be designed for each member of the family. All size of buckets with lids can be purchase at home improvement stores such as Home Depot, Lowes etc. so even children can have the size bucket they can carry and let's face it.... in a bug out situation every little bit of supplies help! As crazy as it sounds even my dogs have their own packs....everyone carries their own supplies!
Now you can purchase these buckets from several different online companies but for a fraction of the price you can build your own and for the same price you can build a few of them. Just think if every person that experienced Hurricane Katrina had a bug out bag and bucket, a bug out plan and route to escape.......how many lives could have been saved? How many people would have not been dependent on FEMA or the Red Cross (which took days to arrive)?
Be prepared, not sorry

Great post, I think I would paint the bucket a neutral color though and add a shoulder strap so you do not have to use a free hand to carry it. These are a great addition for anyone, waterproof and a good amount of uses and it is a bucket that will come in super handy..... great work
Wonderful!! I am assuming the bucket there has a lid? With a lid, a 5 gallon or larger bucket could be used to sit on. Easier to get up off of than the ground (at least for someone with arthritis like me!)
