Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

My friend and I were backpacking the AT and he had this bucket with him. Many times on the AT, water is not very close to the shelters. I had to use my water bottles to carry the water to the shelter to use for drinking and cooking and then go back and refill them for the next day of hiking. He would just fill the bucket and have all the water he needed. As soon as I got back from the trip I went and bought one. It is very light and packs into the size of the palm of your hand.

A string of some sort will help make this bag even more useful. Pay attention to how it folds up and practice, practice practice because it doesn't go back in its case easily.

Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

Got this bucket to let water sediment settle before filtering. Worked great plus we hauled two gallons of water to camp easily, then dipped cooking water right out of the bucket instead of filtering it from the creek first. This also saved the always tedious shoreline balancing act that is streamside water filtering. The words "free standing" are a bit optimistic and I wish it had a cover. Love it.

Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

I made fun of my brother for bringing a collapsing bucket on a backpacking trip and then found that I used it more than anyone else, so I had to go out and buy my own. I love having a ready supply of water at camp to wash my hands and face and quickly rinse off dishes, and it's great to use the water to douse any remaining hot coals in a smoldering fire.

Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

This is an excellent ultralight/minimalist item to have. It will pick up enough water from a lake or stream to filter a couple liters of water and water for 2 sets of meals.

Stability and sides collapsing can be a bit tricky, but with little effort it can be done. I find putting it next to a log or rock adds stability. Then it is a matter of not letting the handle collapse inside - if it does, the walls fall below water level and it drains water (not hard to prevent once you know about it).

The cover can be attached to a belt loop or strap on the pack for easy access. I primarily use it to get a bucket of water for filtration, boiling, rinsing off in camp or putting a fire out while backpacking. It could be used while car camping; however, a hard plastic 5 gallon bucket holds more, more stable and easy to use - just can't take it backpacking.

Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

I purchased this bomb-proof bucket just this last backpacking season. Took it on several two day and multi-day backpacking trips (including the Glacier National Park section of the CDT) and it worked great; easy to fill out of a lake or stream, holds large volumes of water, and best of all, not only are the handles long enough to hang the bucket from a tree branch but because of the wide base design, it can also stand on its own when filled! This last feature is a real plus when using a water filtration pump. Finally, because of its size, it also functions well as a container to do your laundry while out in the bc. No backpacker should be without this handy little piece of soft equipment!

Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

We took this bucket into Utah's Escalante River canyon for five days of backcountry. We were camped on a hill above the river and this bucket made our lives much easier. I mainly used it so the dogs wouldn't run back into the river to get a drink after they were already dried off, but I would have no problem filtering water out of it. I found that as long as I could fill it in deep water I was able to get a full 10 L. The handles held just fine and I propped it up against a rock where it stayed all night as the dogs were drinking out of it. With its lightweight, compact size I'll never be in the backcountry without it.

Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

This thing is fantastic! I have used it on several backpacking, canoeing and winter yurt trips. I got to the stream or lake and fill it with water, then head back to camp, let the sediment settle if needed, and pump water with my filter in the company of my traveling friends. It seems extremely sturdy, folds to a very small size and is very light weight. My travel companions have been impressed.

One downside is that it tend to be somewhat tippy when filled with water. One trick I have learned is to put a long stick through the handle and set the stick on the other side of a log or rock,wich serves to wrap the handle over the log/stick and hold the bucket upright. Just that little bit of upright tug works well to keep it from tipping.

Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

I love this bucket. I can go down to the water source and bring back 8 liters or so (10 liters is unrealistic since it isn't rigid). This allows me to purify water by my warm fire, cook with more of it, wash up with some more, and have some for the morning. I also use it to make sure that my fire is out.

This is a safety item if you do any backpacking or primitive camping in swamp areas where gators reside. You do not want to remember that you need water at dusk or after, and head down to the water to get a pan full. At 4.4 oz, you just cannot go wrong with having this bucket along.

Comments about Sea To Summit Folding Bucket - 10 Liters:

Works well for retrieving water for later filtration at camp. It must be sitting on a nearly perfectly level surface in order to keep it from spilling when full.
