I get a surprising amount of use from this water bucket. It makes getting water for filtering, cooking, cleaning, bathing, and putting out the fire easy. This little pack luxury is becoming essential.

It is the simple things that make life in the backcountry easier like the Granite Gear Water bucket. Just scoop up the water, carry to a comfortable place, and the water through your favorite filter. It eliminates the need to squat on the creek bank and pump in uncomfortable positions especially when filling up many bottles. The water bucket can also be used to settle water with high sediment content making it easier on your filter. Before leaving camp use the water bucket to dose the fire pit one last time.

This is an ultralight, versatile piece of gear. I use it to tote water and as a reservoir while I'm pumping water, also as an external pocket on for my Granite Gear Vapor Trail that gives me easy access to my water pump, pullover, and other items I need without going into my pack when I take a break.
