Using this folding bucket is a breeze. First, unfold it and place it on a flat surface. You can then fill it with water for various outdoor needs like cooking, cleaning, or using with a water purification system. When you need to pour the water, simply hold the additional handle at the base for better control.
As for precautions, don't use it on rough or sharp surfaces to avoid scratches or punctures. Also, don't overfill it beyond its capacity.
For maintenance, after each use, empty the bucket and let it dry completely. You can store it in its zip pouch when not in use. This will keep it in good condition and ready for your next outdoor adventure.
