: would be if it was a bit smaller say and maybe a few concentric wire turns
: less.

: like you could collapse it under/beside the seat and to use keep it collapsed

: lift up.

: an idea anyway.

Mick, the collapsable bag looks like it would hold a heck of a lot of water and Tony you have a good idea but I already have my two, like new French army surplus collaspsable canvas buckets for $10. I go army surplus when I can because of the great quality and low prices. I still use my field wire plyers all of the time that I had in 1953 in the army and they are as good now as they were then. I am sold on real army surplus, not the knock offs, for the best quality you can get.
