Abstract
A toting apparatus can include a bucket, a combination lid and seat cushion, and a harness for carrying the apparatus while the lid covers the top opening of the bucket and the cushion is in the inflated or deflated configuration. The cushion can be formed by a drop-stitch type bladder inflatable using a common hand-operated bicycle pump. The harness can include a belt that wraps around the bucket and a pair or diametrically spaced-apart straps that adjustably and snuggly attach to a central handle structure atop the lid. Various corresponding patches of hook-and-vane style fabric fasteners allow for releasable affixation of various components of the apparatus. Thus the harness can be made of durable flexible fabric.
