Thank you great bucket'I'll make one.I'll make with sling
Great job…all I would add would be a round velcro cushion on top, to make it a seat.Thanks for some ideas I had not thought of :>)
Great video!! Keep them coming!!!!
LOVE this idea and the bucket apron is genius!
Your bucket apron has given me an idea for my folding wagon. As mentioned in another reply, I'm too old to carry a lot of weight. Can pull much more than I can tote.
Bought a blue folding wagon from Sam's Club for that very purpose. Using the bucket apron / tool roll concepts, it wouldn't be too difficult to DIY the same thing for the wagon. Whether front, back, side panels, or all 4. Pre-packed with organized items, stowed on/in/near the wagon, as tool rolls, till needed. Worn as apron(s) if interior space is needed for a tote, bucket, and/or a child. Blue jeans, painters canvas drop cloth along with mesh laundry bags can provide materials to create same. Idea needs further development. Thanks for providing a good starting point. Perhaps others can run with it, as well.
YOU ARE AMAZING!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Great survival bucket!

Wow ! Nice Bucket list. TYVM 🙂
Awesome bucket! You had a lot of really good idea's with it Thanks 🙂
I am a 52 yr old male looking for a group/mag near metro Det. Mich Will travel. I am a God Fearing man who is easy going and loyal dbm169@yahoo.com! God Bless you all!! Dan
Thank you! God Bless you Have a good Eve. Dan
You should be in the Prepper Hall of Fame.
Impressive! I’m going to get a bucket apron. Great work on your choices, it’s really packed. Thanks for listing the contents. 🙂
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing
Where did you get the axe
Love how you hacked the challenge! lol
Cool, but a lot of redundancies
😎 👍
LOVE THIS!
I was really pleasantly surprised by this video. I've watched thousands of bugout bag and survival bucket videos, and I have to say that this is probably the most comprehensive and well-rounded survival bucket that I have ever seen…..easily. Well done!
that is an amazing idea!
GRACIOUS! What does that bucket weigh, if you don't mind my asking? I think 'I'd' need a saddle, bridle and a tall, 4-legged creature sporting a mane to move all that! (I'm jealous 'you' can)! God bless you…and hope you'll never have to…..none of us). P.S. I just subscribed. : )
I like the idea and you went so far as to label the pockets for the best organization. I wouldn't see that as necessary, but if people other than the person who organized the kit, grab things and pull them out they probably won't remember where they go, so the labels are a good idea.
I think the bucket idea is good for a "blackout kit" or multi-purpose home emergency kit, so whenever the power goes out or other problem arises, it's all there, easy to see, easy to find and quickly accessible.
After Irma struck Florida, I bought a bucket and it costs me like $7.00, so I want to use it for something (But keep it clean and get years of use). Now you've given me an idea.
My comment for this video ended up on another of your vids. Sorry.
It would be wonderful if you could add some links for the Mylar blanket and the pillow sleeper …I've never seen these items before…Those little roll bags are wonderful.😁😘
One of the best videos I've seen for organizing gear. Thanks for the list. That's very helpful.
hahaha! An extra gallon and the outer cover basically double the capacity of your kit. Brilliant idea!
I'd never heard of a Sillcock key. Had to go look it up. I had no idea about those water outlets. Learned something else from you. Thanks! And your bucket kit is great!
Great setup!
Don't understand how this challenge game video, or your other videos I have seen so far are not number one on thumbs up.
I just found you. The best. Was watching your newer ones, but then have been randomly going back. YOU ROCK!
Practical, detailed, organized. Be still my beating heart. ha
I have been watching lots and lots and lots of prepper videos, pantry video etc. as research for a book and this – o my you make sense.
Thank you so much.
I was so wowed that I may have missed but did not see the duct tape. I never leave home without it.
What is the total cost for this bucket build I'm curious
Great job…I’ve just subbed you and watching a few of your preparedness videos, which is great content. If I may make one suggestion, and this has nothing to do with what to add or take away from the bucket…I suffer from extreme heartburn and I had a RN tell me to stop taking Prevacid bc it can and will deteriorate your femur over time and she suggested taking Apple Cider Vinegar in the morning on an empty stomach with 8oz of water, so I tried it and I haven’t had any issue with heartburn since I started which was about 3 months ago. Again, this is a mere suggestion and just thought I’d pay it forward. Thanks for sharing and God bless.🙏🏻🇺🇸
Sell that shopping network! That's great!
Wow very impressing.
You have some great ideas! I just came across your video, and am thinking of what I'm going to put on my bucket apron and in my bucket!!! Keep making vids!
How much does this bucket weigh?!👀
Peroxide needs to be stored in dark container. It interacts with light. Small spray alcohol is ok.
HONEST ! MY KIT FITS IN MY BACK PACK , i think this person would have zero chance to survive .
i pack a wire saw a couple of brass snares waxed matches fishing line and hooks and a good knife .
im english and my dad was a survival spcalist back in the 1980's the ne thing he taught me was travel light and you will find shelter and food everywhere .
Any updates in 2022?
I just ordered one of those aprons but I am also going to take an folded tarp and put around the bucket and place the apron around it.
