means:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- High-frequency (HF) or radio-frequency (RF) welding\n- Heat + pressure bonds the fabric together at seam level\n- Creates a single-piece seam (vs stitching that creates needle holes)\n- No stitching threads, no needle holes, no water seepage\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy welded over stitched:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- Stitched seams have small needle holes\n- Need additional sealing (taped seams) to be waterproof\n- Welded seams are inherently waterproof (no holes to seal)\n- More durable (no thread to wear out)\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePractical:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- 100% watertight seams (just like a hydration reservoir)\n- No risk of seam failure over time\n- Bonded at the molecular level\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv

features:\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Handle (NEW for STS):\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- A handle integrated into the BOTTOM of the bucket\n- Allows scooping from shallow water without bending over\n- Acts as a pour spout when lifted\n- Distributes the bucket's weight when carrying\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume Markers (NEW for STS):\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- Printed measurement marks on the bucket side\n- Typically in 1L increments\n- Measure water carry capacity\n- Useful for filtering water or measuring dishwater\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombined use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- Scoop water with base handle\n- Lift and pour using the base handle as pivot\n- Read volume markers to know how much you collected\n- No need for separate measuring tools\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv

(70D)\n- Lighter than HD products (420D+)\n- Middle-ground for durability\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy 200D for this product:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- Bucket holds heavy water loads\n- Reinforced seams + sturdy fabric = holds shape when filled\n- The bucket is a \"tool\" not a \"pack\"\n- Some tear resistance is important (rocks, branches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv

fully\n - Rough-up the area slightly with sandpaper (in repair kit)\n3. \u003cstrong\u003eApply the patch:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n - Cut a small patch from the Gear Aid WP sheet\n - Round the corners (peeling prevention)\n - Peel backing, apply patch over the hole\n - Press firmly for 30+ seconds\n4. \u003cstrong\u003eCure:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n - Allow 24 hours before using the bucket with water\n - Warm conditions speed curing\n5. \u003cstrong\u003eTest:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n - Fill with water, check for leaks\n - Repeat if necessary\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat \"WP\" means in \"Seam Grip + WP\":\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- WP = WaterProof\n- Specifically for waterproof fabrics\n- Bonds well to coated nylons (200D)\n- Different from standard Seam Grip (for non-waterproof
