In this episode of Along The Keel I sit down with Joe Schneider of Huck Performance Buckets. As an avid outdoorsman, Joe was sick and tired of having to deal with the typical five-gallon bucket. Cheap, ill-equipped and poorly made the classic bucket was no match for Joe and after a fateful day at the boat, Joe was finally fed up. From that day forward he has completely re-engineered the five-gallon bucket, not settling for anything less than the best five-gallon bucket on the planet. Built right here in the USA the Huck Performance Bucket sets the standard for all other buckets and the best part, it's 100% made right here in the US of A!
