[pct-l] Bounce bucket

[Bob Bankhead]

I'd use one of the Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes. The box itself is free at the Post Office and you can ship it anywhere in the USA for $ 8.95

Two sizes are available:
11 x 8.5 x 5.5 inches
13.625 x 11.875 x 3.375 inches

The shape of the box may not be changed to fit its contents, so don't try to cut it down or make it bigger.




A 5 gallon bucket is gross overkill for a bounce box. The purpose of a bounce box is to provide access to items you might not be able to get in trail towns; things like prescription refills, spare eye glasses, an odd-sized battery or bulb,  cell phone recharger, photo memory cards, etc. Be sure to include tape and address labels for forwarding it.

Above all, remember that to ship a bounce box to a location with no outgoing mail service is to be stuck with it. Plan carefully.
