What are bucket bags like as roaming tools

Richard Isaacs said:
Keep seeing them pop up occasionally and while I’ve no intention whatsoever of spending £70 on a discontinued second hand fox one I see you can still find the 13/17L trakker versions for 35 quid to add a bucket to brand new. Aimed at carpers naturally like most items of luggage but I’m thinking if I can lose the chair on short sessions it might be a nice little river roaming bag. Could work with my dead bait sessions too. AFew ice packs and fish thrown in the bucket and a few sliders I’ll be good to go.
The old fast mat would nicely double the seat padding too.
Any thoughts......

I have a Fox one and think it’s great...only one annoying fault which I would imagine is common to most bucket bag/seats is that after sitting on it it snaps the lid down tight and is a sod to open again with cold hands - however, quick remedy is gaffs tape on bucket lid to avoid the snap/click shut

Tracker one is alright after been sat on. It’s got a decent lip to grab and peel the lid straight off
