This Bucket Belongs in Every Beach Bag, Camp Kit, and Van Setup

The Ruck™ Bucket from DMOS isn’t just a bucket—it’s a well-built, endlessly practical tool that’s become essential for people who live and travel outdoors. Whether you’re full-timing in a van, heading deep into the backcountry, or just spending a weekend at the beach, it delivers smart, dependable utility without taking up space when you don’t need it.

For vanlifers and overlanders, it’s already a favorite. One reviewer put it simply:
“I bought this on a whim and it has become one of the most used pieces of gear in my van. I use it for hauling water, beer cans (empty to the recycle bin), filled with ice it will hold the better part of a 6-pack, kindling and fire-starting materials, etc.”

The same goes for backpackers. One review reads,
“After searching for a durable, compact bucket for backpacking I was pleased to find the Ruck Bucket. This rugged bucket is just right for multiple backpacking uses. Apart from the obvious job of hauling water, the Ruck is great for carrying foraged foods collected afield and tinder materials for making a campfire. The quality materials used to make the Ruck shows a commitment to excellence on the part of DMOS. This bucket will provide many years of service in the backcountry.”

Whether it’s collecting, cleaning, or cooking, the Ruck™ Bucket earns its place in a pack by being tough, lightweight, and built to last.

Even outside of remote travel, people appreciate its simplicity and strength. One user wrote, “Cool tool! Nice tough construction that folds up when not filled up. A great simple idea.” It doesn’t need to be complicated to be useful—it just needs to work.

Of course, it’s also right at home on a beach day. As one customer put it:
“Bought two for our trips to the beach, they hold water for sandcastle building and pack down small.”

It’s the kind of thing you throw in the car once and then find yourself using again and again—for rinsing feet, washing gear, or entertaining the kids.

From hauling water in the wild to chilling drinks by the fire, the Ruck™ Bucket proves its worth across countless situations. It’s compact when it needs to be, rugged when it counts, and—based on what real users are saying—one of those rare tools that earns a permanent spot in your gear setup.
