Packing List, Equipment Needed:

• 1 5-gallon bucket with a lid for your gear. It will also serve as your chair. (Make sure your name and family name is on the bucket) You will use a bucket (no bigger than 5 gallon) with a lid as your dual-function suitcase and seat for Rescue! It is a sturdy, waterproof suitcase, and it conveniently doubles as a camp chair. You may decorate your bucket and prepare a "seat cover/cushion" if you wish.
