[pct-l] Bounce box- is size important?

[CWillett at pierce.ctc.edu (Chris Willett)]

Here is the easiest way:  Buy a 5 gallon plastic paint bucket (about $3) and a snap on lid (about $2) from your local hardware store (in the paint section).  It will hold everything you have, it has a handle to carry it about, it is durable, and you can sit on it outside the PO.  I've used this system the past two summers without issue, although a Virginia PO lost mine and I didn't get it back until Vermont.
