I'm glad I asked. I too,bring a( shorter )bucket with lid (2.5-3.0gal.)...........  Your idea to keep your kitchen and lunch in an oder /critter /waterproof stool/ container seems very logical .

I have mentioned this before but it bears repeating........I detest the snap on, hard to get off typical plastic lid. Home Depot has a lid system for 5 gal buckets that is very slick indeed. The "receiver part" (for lack of a better word) snaps onto the bucket and remains more or less permanently.........the "top" is a screw on lid which is a breeze to remove. I think it was about $8 but for a one time purchase that eliminates some hassle at the end of a long day it's a no brainer IMO.
