5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it!! December 4, 2011

I bought this for a trip on the Appalachian Trail. I hiked the Maryland section and it kind of sucked making multiple trips (up and down hilsides) to get water. This eliminated the back and forth trips. I filled the bucket once and the water lasted through dinner and breakfast. The first time I filled it however, I learned that it isn't very stable when it's free standing. Lots of water everywhere! After that it was a simple matter of hanging it from a nail or branch and filtering straight from it. Besides my Neo pad, this is the best piece of gear I've bought in years, it's light, durable, and very useful! It now goes everywhere I backpack!

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks Flimsy -- Works Great September 13, 2012

When I first got this folding bucket, I was afraid to fill it with water. The handle looked like it would rip right off, spilling water all over the place. So I tested its durability by filling it about a quarter of the way inside the bathtub. I figured if it is going to fall apart or burst, it would be a good idea to have it fail where the water will not do any damage.

After a successful test, I filled it halfway with water. Then three-quarters of the way. Then I filled it almost all the way to the top--maybe 2.5 gallons worth. Then I tested its durability by holding it by the handle, then relaxing my arm and letting gravity have its way with it. But before it hit the tub, I yanked it back up by the handle. It still held up perfectly!

Then I got daring and started walking around with it, careful not to let water slosh out of it onto my carpet. I then slowly, gingerly placed it on the carpet and let go of the handle. It stood up on its own and it seemed fairly stable. Then I grabbed it by the handle again and went to the bathtub to dump it out. I paused over the bathtub, thinking about whether the sides of this folding bucket were going to buckle on me while pouring the water out and end up drenching me in the process. But my sense of adventure overrode my caution so I placed one hand at the bottom of the bucket and tilted it over the bathtub to pour the water out.

And it emptied without any spillage whatsoever. So now I am confident I can depend on this bucket to do all of its bucket duties (minus acting as a impromptu seat) without fail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Backcountry Bucket October 3, 2009

The small size and 3.9 oz weight make it hard to leave at home, and this is really indispensable for carrying water for dishes or for water to-be-purified. The bucket will actually stand up when filled with water if placed on a level surface, and the bucket and storage sack seem well built and durable.
