TRAVEL BUCKET

As much as I love the simplicity of The Dopp Kit, I wanted to try something new for an upcoming trip for my toiletry bag. I came up with this bucket design. Using 1050D Ballistic Cordura® on the bottom exterior and some of God’s Plaid (M81Woodland) that wraps into the top of the interior of the bucket. Then I used my favorite 1000D Orange for the rest of the interior. On the interior, I created two pockets with mesh and 4 loops for some organization. With some black paracord, I created a drawstring to sinch the top closed. This is where I overused the 1000D, it made it pretty hard to close all the way. I wanted the orange inside the sleeve for the paracord and it was too much fabric causing it to bunch up and not close all the way. However, for me, the top closed enough. This is something I will be working on before I release the Travel Bucket.
