It sounds like you’re looking for a versatile fishing and camping storage solution that combines a tackle box, seat, backpack, and bucket into one portable system. Here are some options and ideas to consider:
1. All-in-One Fishing/Camping Bucket Systems
These combine a bucket, seat, tackle storage, and backpack straps for easy transport:
– Fishing Bucket Seat with Tackle Storage – Many brands offer 5-gallon buckets with a padded seat lid, built-in tackle compartments, and backpack straps.
– Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s Bucket Buddy – A tackle organizer that fits around a 5-gallon bucket, turning it into a portable fishing station.
– Yeti LoadOut Bucket – A heavy-duty, rotomolded bucket with a lid, often customized with tackle inserts.
2. Backpack Tackle Box Combos
If you prefer a backpack-style system with a seat:
– Wild River Tackle Tek Nomad Backpack – Has a built-in folding seat and multiple tackle compartments.
– Plano Weekender Series Backpack – Some models include a detachable seat or can be strapped to a folding stool.
3. DIY Bucket Modifications
If you want a custom setup, you can modify a standard 5-gallon bucket:
– Add a padded seat lid (available at hardware stores).
– Attach backpack straps (sold as bucket accessory kits).
– Use a Bucket Boss or similar organizer for tools/tackle.
4. Boat & Camping-Friendly Options
For boating and camping, consider:
– Collapsible Fishing Baskets – For holding gear and fish.
– Kayak/Canoe Bucket Systems – Some anglers use a bucket with rod holders and a bungee tie-down.
– Portable Folding Stool + Tackle Bag – A lightweight combo for hiking to fishing spots.
