Utility knife
Pliers to remove the handle
Thanks to André Laberge and Dale Brown for the harness concept originally made for Olive Barrels.
Good stuff , swamp yankee ingenuity 👍👍
Thanks!
I was planning to do this very thing. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
They are very handy to carry - one in each hand. Glad this helps.
I've had the gamma lids leak in a heavy rain storm. Went back to barrels.
That’s too bad. So far so good for me. Thanks for the comment
I was checking out the Gamma Seal lids at Menards. There was problems with all of them. Wrinkles in the plastic right against the o ring on the cap part, on some of them. Others had extra material on the chamfer around the rim of the collar part. The molds must be old or poorly maintained. Not very good quality control the way I see it. I’m thinking of also buying some o ring material that is twice as thick, this material will also seal better. You can make custom sized rings, use super glue to bond a scarf joint.
I’ll go to a different location and check the quality of those until a can get a good one.
Well done sir! I plan to use these on my motorcycle. F*** it, use a bucket
Thanks hope they work out for you. Hopefully they keep racoons out!
Hello sir how to backpack it
With Great Difficulty! On a portage it is easy as the handles make it convenient to carry them. these are designed for canoeing, not really backpacking - if you have smaller barrels you could do that but better just to get a bear vault or other bear can/ursak.
If you look at recent reviews of Gamma Lids, their quality has gone way downhill. Many, many people have had the lids leak or break
That would be unfortunate, I guess I have been lucky - no issues so far.
