Gamma Seal lids

The five gallon bucket is ubiquitous, you can find them most everywhere. Even the big box hardware stores use them as "baskets" (That you then have to buy) when getting a bunch of small items. They have a million and a one uses, and they are sturdy. The only issue is that you can't reseal them once you break the tabs that hold the lids on.

Now you can. I found this at Lowes the other day, the Gamma Seal lid. It is a two part lid. The first part snaps securely onto the bucket and is very hard to remove. The second part screws into the first to act as a sealable lid to keep things fresh inside or things outside dry. I personally have mine loaded up with my camp stove, pot, a bag of fire pellets, and everything I need to make a couple days worth of meals.

And it will all stay dry aboard my boat or all together in the back of my truck. They also make a smaller one for the lessor seen 3 gallon bucket. Perfect for storing food at home, on the road, or on the water.
