Tried a bucket in 05; handle came off early in hike somewhere in postal  
system; scrounged paint bucket handlle in Big Bear City; couldn't really use  
handle very well again, because attachment hole had elongated a bit. In 07 went  
to $10 red w/black top, plastic toobox from Sears - based on suggestion from  
someone on this list; rectangular shape works better; handle definitely easier  
than bucket; far sturdier; can be locked; always tape around hinges & lock;  
even walked it uphill from Crater Lake Lodge to C L PO, strapped to top of 
pack;  and weighs only a few oz more than the bucket.
