Acid House Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Like the idea of the squat on bucket you can get several small sandwiches in and struggle across a field with. I improved the idea for a grown up................................ Managed to gather some materials together and warmed up my big hammer. Bits included a tenner for a 60l blue bin, a tenner for two fleabay kids rucksacks and a tenner for a military radio backpack frame. The bin is just the right height for me to either perch on the edge ready to stand and shoot or sit back on and relax a bit. The camo is a bit mickey mouse but its all I had and I hate spending money............... Its not too heavy unladen but once I get the thing full, who knows............ At about 20 stone and 6'4" its as strong as I need it with no risk of collapse............ Even the hound likes it............. I have three aluminium extendable crutch legs that I was thinking of nailing on the sides for uneven ground and a turn table seat but I'll do some field tests to see if necessary.

Django Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I am looking at doing exactly the same and the radio backpack frame is a great idea!! How did you attach it, and the bags to the container? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolkngood Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Very creative...........I've just been converted to a 120 litre Bergan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid House Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I am looking at doing exactly the same and the radio backpack frame is a great idea!! How did you attach it, and the bags to the container? Two slots cut in the drum about an inch down from the rim. Cut the shoulder straps leaving about 8 inches. Pas them through the slots and pop rivet down inside. I used very large headed rivets. Same with the side tabs; removed the straps and riveted direct through the drum. I suppose you could use small nuts and bolts with a large repair washer to spread the load. The frame had its bottom rail cut to size so it flushed up to the plastic. It was then drilled and bolted to the drum. No complicated fixings I like simple. This was mocked up before the cloth was wrapped round thge drum and then everything permanently fixed once the cover was in place. The cover is pop riveted through several layers round the bottom and I found a length of strapping in the shed for round the top. I probably would have riveted it also if I hadnt had the strap. I dont do sewing I used a cover because the plastic drum wont hold paint for any length of time, it just shells off. Very creative...........I've just been converted to a 120 litre Bergan. You could then live in it when out on a long shoot................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid House Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 If I need the legs (they are the bottom half off aluminium crutches) I'll fasten them on the sides with 'P' clamps. Just for uneven ground... Oh and only three, coz three legs are more stable than four and wont rock. The turntable seat is available as a disability aid to help getting in and out of car seats and under a tenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
