The real Amish country
After sitting on Jesse's for a few years I decided to tell my wife and kids to get me one for father's day. They did. Basically copied exactly what Jesse had with the outside skirt, inside shelf and Hawk lid/seat. I like it. I can basically keep a small project or 2 in it at all times and have something to keep me busy. Most of you know I'm a busy body that doesn't sit around a bunch so it works for me to sit a few minutes and then get up and move. It works, but is it worth the money? I have some cons.

1. Spensive and I would never spend that kind of money on myself.

2. Using it as an actual cooler with ice and it sweats worse than a Mason jar.

3. Could do basically the same thing with a regular bucket.

4. Not sure I'd replace it of something happened to it.

5. Did I mention the price of it and the accessories? Lol

I also have some pros

1. Fits great in the back seat.

2. Love how I can have something to do with me at all times.

3. I can throw 6-12 beers in the bottom and head to visit someone without ice. As in a neighbor or another camper, not traveling.

4. No need to carry a chair and a cooler for short visits.

5. It has a really comfortable handle that will outlast me.

The hawk bucket lid works, but it isn't designed for the bucket. (Dinner is ready and my brain has left the conversation, so I might be back with more info🤣)

I have one, only used it as a tool bag for training pearl for hunt test. Currently it’s still full of training supplies.
I also won a yeti tub that I think we used once.

I would 100% replace mine on my dime if I had to. I used a gift card on the bucket, seat, and tray, and bought the "skirt" on sale for $35, which is all I have in mine. I've had mine going on 4 years and use the hell out of it, so amortized over time, it's been a great investment IMO. In terms of $/Use of things I own, my bucket is near the very top of the list. It's incredibly versatile from the ball field to the duck boat to the job site to a TOO function, it delivers value. I don't trust a regular 5-gallon bucket to the abuse the Yeti will take, including when I plop my intoxicated 230# rear end on top of it. It does sweat like a whore in church with ice in it, but so would a regular bucket, so that's just something you live with either way. It's less of a problem with ice packs compared to bagged ice.

I'll say this in closing, few things have earned me more rations of shit than my 'spensive bucket, but it is legitimately one of the most practical and useful things in my day-to-day life. Worth every damn penny.

I am wondering if my mind will change I'm a few years. At some point I expect it to turn into a staple. With that will come some attachment.
