On the subject of camp chairs, I've been toying with the idea of bringing along a 5 gallon bucket with top, both as something to carry/stow things in and as a camp "stool."  I've seen pictures of this in other's photos.  Any thoughts?  -- What do you store/haul in the bucket?  -- Other uses around camp?  -- Sits okay in the canoe? prouboy

I am still keeping notes for a future book: 101 Uses for a Bucket.
Mine contains my complete kitchen. In the morning it is stocked with the days lunches and snacks and the stove topped off with fuel. During breaks it is the only item that needs to be taken from the canoe.

Depending on other packs for the trip the bucket is placed where needed for trim or fit. On a tandem it fits behind most stern seats.

Other uses are limitless: water supply when camped high above the lake, dish pan, laundry tub, sponge bath water supply- heated to personal preference,nighttime anti-rodent storage and sometimes as a pontoon to keep from sinking on a boggy portage.
