Thought I would pass this little tip on as everyone visiting my swim and sitting on my bucket comments about my bucket. I did a real simple conversion on it a few years back and have never had to re-do it.

I must admit I stole the idea after seeing Miles Gasgoigne’s bucket whilst we were shooting a Free Spirit DVD. He had simply cut an old camping roll mat up and taped a couple or three circles of mat on to the lid. This hardly adds any weight but doesn’t half raise the comfort levels in both sponginess and warmth. Definitely well worth doing as an emergency guest chair or for a out the bivvy carp spotting perch for yourself.

You could always go the whole hog and insulate a bucket by wrapping the sides too.

Quick simple job which will last you years so long as you use decent tape in the first place.
