I try not to have the money I make in this country sent to China or to support a Liberal Elitist PUKE and his minions.

I used to just wrap 2 strands of baling wire around the bucket then on one side fasten a wire and then up over one shoulder or even over your head on the opposite shoulder and get the length thats comfortable then before tying that to the other side of the bucket run the wire thru a soft water hose the same length and tie it to the other side of the bucket. If it still ain't comfortable just put a bigger hose over the other one. A heavy coat also helps cushion it. Will hold several traps, hatchet, lure and some cable. Stakes longer than the bucket makes it tipsy. Leave the bail on it and between short stops just carry it by the bail.

Do you get shot if you use a yellow bucket?

They sell a lid that snaps on the bucket, and has a screw off port lid that's water proof.

The best way to carry a 5-gallon bucket so you are balanced is to carry two; by the handles...

I believe blue would be the color of choice.

You first figure out where the bucket will ride on you. Then take your chain saw and cut a tree leaving the stump to the predetermined height. You then set the harnessed bucket on top the stump. Take another five gallon bucket and bring water to fill that harnessed bucket. Once you have filled you can strap up and walk off.
