You’ve already read our guide to packing a women’s fashion bucket. But did you know that some of the best Bucket Sale discounts are elsewhere in the stores? Check out how we packed a bucket full of outdoor and sporting goods, and saved 20% on all of it.

Bucket Packin’ Strategy: Outdoor & Sporting Goods

Do you remember playing Tetris on a Gameboy growing up? Surprise! There actually is a real-life scenario where those building-block skills will be put to good use! Let’s find all of the small, boxy items that fit in a Murdoch’s bucket and start strategizing how to pack them. These tips will help you save!

Packing Tips

  • If you want to include clothing, start with large items like shirts and shorts at the bottom. They form well to the bucket’s round shape, maximizing volume.
  • While we’re talking about clothing, look for high-tech fabrics for two reasons: 1) they perform better outdoors and 2) they are usually thinner, taking up less space in your bucket.
  • Just like playing Tetris when you were younger, start piecing together your puzzle of outdoor gear and sporting goods.
  • Start with the largest items, filling in spaces with smaller and smaller items.
  • Try putting items with clam shell packaging against the wall of the bucket, and pack boxy items against the flat side of the packaging.
  • Whenever you can, place items of equal height next to each other, especially the short items. This will create an opportunity to stack a third layer.
  • Fill gaps with smaller soft items, like socks or a Buff, or taller tube shapes.
  • Fill up the crevices with gear ties and headlamps, or other small items that you lose often.
  • The top will be quite uneven – don’t stop there! You can get a third layer in if you wedge larger items into the larger cavities (the cavities you made earlier by packing short items together). We were able to add a growler-sized water bottle, fly case and a gear bag. (The fly case and gear bag were easier because they were soft.)

Shopping Order

To make our particular example work, you’ll need to shop in this order:

Clothing

  • Columbia fly fishing shirt
  • Kuhl breathable shorts
  • Buff

Larger Items That Fit

  • GoPro Hero4 camera
  • Frontiersman Bear Spray
  • 2 Yeti Ice
  • Leatherman Wave
  • Yeti rod holster
  • Buck Knife

Smaller Items For Filler

  • Nite Ize headlamp
  • Gear Ties
  • Dry Bag

Good Items For Top Tier

  • Hydroflask growler
  • Yeti sidekick
  • 30″ Murdoch’s Gear Bag

Bottom Line

  • Retail Price for the entire bucket: $954.87
  • Bucket Sale price for the entire bucket: $763.90
  • Savings: $190.97 (plus a free bucket)
