This Blackhawk with a full bucket of water is working with Boise Helitack firefighters on the ground. If you look closely you can see the pilot looking down from the bubble window as he searches for the perfect drop zone. Pilots use radio communications with firefighters as well as visual cues to determine ideal bucket drop locations.
Boise Helitack is a 24-person Bureau of Land Management crew that operates with a Sikorsky UH-60 Helicopter.
Boise BLM Helitack performs suppression and support operations on initial attack, extended attack, and large fire support. They place a high degree of emphasis on professionalism and physical fitness.
They provide a versatile, service-oriented, low-maintenance, highly skilled initial attack program that can provide ICS overhead on emerging incidents, or effectively integrate into existing ones.

Found at a KFC in Tallahassee, FL. The bucket had been taken off it's place on the giant pole to presumably be disposed of. The bucket design is from the '90s.
See the restaurant this bucket sat in front of here.
Used in a blog article about vintage fast food architecture here.
For far too long, Dave's Home Depot Bucket has been the king of the beach. The time has come for a little healthy competition.
BLM Winter Bucket List #6: Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, for the Annual Eagle Count
In many parts of the country, it’s rare to catch a glimpse of a bald eagle, but imagine seeing scores of them in a single day. When winter weather arrives in Canada, large numbers of eagles decide it’s time to move along, and one of their favorite stops is Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
So what’s the attraction for these stunning birds? A plentiful supply of spawned-out kokanee salmon in the lake.
From November to February each year, the BLM records the eagle migration - a record 240 eagles were spotted in just one day in 2013. The spectacle becomes a regional attraction – with activities, tours and boat rides on the lake.
You can join the activities during Eagle Week or plan a quiet visit. Learn more: blm.gov/g3ld
Complete with Cherry Picker Bucket, truck stabilizers, Dumping bed. Chipper with open shoot, and safety bar.
A bucket full of colour at the ever great Sizergh Castle, Cumbria. Had to convert to black and white though....

a view from an upstairs window into my neighbours yard, a 83 yr old lady, living alone,
amazing what she does with a bucket of water before she throws it to the right on the pic, into her compost place.
and her shoes for going into her vegetable garden.
I've been tagged and Ice Bucket challenged all in the same week. So why not kill 2 birds with one stone? Here's a few things you should know about me:
1.In the words of the Heidelberg Catechism: "I am not my own, but belong body and soul, in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ."
2. I am blessed to be married for 10 years. Each year is better than the last.
3. I have 3 kids, 2 boys and 1 girl, and a 4th on the way, due next month.
4. I have the most awesome job in the world: I am a Youth Pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America. This picture is taken at our church with a few members of our Youth Group.
5. I am OLD. I am 34 years old and I've discovered these gray things coming out of my head. However, I don't think I've ever really grown up. I spend my time playing with my kids, hanging out with students, and building castles.
6. I've been building with Lego since I was about 5 years old. My best childhood memories were with King's Castle 6080 and Black Falcon's Fortress 6074.
7. Castle has always been my favorite theme, and probably always will be. Pirates are fun too, but Castle will always be the best.
8. I live in Amish Country, Pennsylvania, USA. Don't believe what you see in Amish Mafia and the other TV shows. Amish people are more normal than most people think. The other day I saw a bunch of Amish teenagers in a buggy with ground effect neon lights and loud dance music coming out of it. They went past our house at about 1 in the morning.
9. My biggest literary influences (other than the Bible) are: C. S. Lewis, G. K. (Gilbert Keith) Chesterton, and Tim Keller. And probably Tolkien too.
10. I really like spicy food. Mexican, Chinese, and Thai would be my favorites.

Holes in Buckets and Barrels
Traditionalists say
Barrels are more important than buckets
Post industrial versions of fig leaves
Hiding nakedness
Like graffiti on a wall or train
Modern version of pictographs
Telling the story of our culture
Non-traditionalists say
A bucket or a barrel
Or a womb or a coffin
Are all the same when we walk
into the dark of the unknown
Naked like the day we squeal hello
And the day we groan good bye
Each side passes judgment
Forever dancing with each other
Forever afraid the other has the lead
But the unknown haunts each coming step
And Gepetto is in the music
Standing on a barrel
Keeping the beat on a bucket
While our footprints become graffiti
Painting the darkness as it unravels around us
Famous quotes that should have been overheard about buckets:
“Something’s wrong with the moral fabric of the world when people wear buckets on their heads instead of barrels over their bodies.” Pat Roberts
“Buckets – building sand castles and protecting heads since 1899.” – Sears catalog 1954
“Who needs thumbs when you have a bucket on your head.” – Walt Disney
“We were too poor to afford a real dunce hat so my younger brother had to wear a bucket.” – Pisbury Dough-Boy
“Helmet technology has come a long way since I was a kid.” – Evil Kenevil
“A spatula and a bucket is all you need for a good time.” – Ron Jeremy
Volunteers form a bucket brigade to move bags more efficiently across the beach. Heavy lifting!
As part of the larger Hurricane Sandy resilience Project "Gandy's Beach shoreline protection", the Service partnered with The Nature Conservancy and Project PORTS to engage several thousand students to build 15,000 shell bags. The bags will be placed offshore at Gandy's Beach to become a living oyster reef, part of the 4,000 feet of living shoreline and breakwater to restore 337 acres of salt marsh and adjacent uplands. This project will substantially improve the ability of the site to withstand storm surges and coastal erosion.
