Here is a pic..

 

I bought one of these from the Container Store. Have yet to try it out, but it looks like it'll do the trick.

these do an excellent job! So much cheaper at Costco compared to Home Depot and etc

 

I use Plano Sportsman Tote. Not great waterproofing since they just have a lip, no gasket. DIY silicone ring and they're fine. $25 or so usually.

 

Where are you located? @L3Goullon hooks up a lot of the AZ guys with great containers, pelican & hardigg ones. Here's a pic of the ones he got for me:

 

I used one of these for several years, worked great. It comes with an extendable metal handle that you can't see in the pic. I still use it for going to the beach to keep dry things dry. I moved to the black/yellow containers from Costco for camping because they are a bit smaller and stack. They're not watertight but they seem to do fine keeping dust out etc.

 

$17 GAMMA2 Gamma Seal Lid - Pet Food Storage Container Lids - Fits 3.5, 5, 6, & 7 Gallon Buckets, Black, Made in USA

I went on a 4 day float trip once and a buddy had his clothes, cigs in a couple of these. It freaking poured rain one day and he was the only one that had dry clothes. And cigarettes!

Lowes has them and the 5 gallon buckets!

 

not much camping gear packing in that bucket

 

these would be perfect but i live in northern Colorado. you have links for them

 

Get out your pocket book....pricey. I use them for work and you are looking at 200-500 bucks a piece depending on size.

 

You don't have much room in a canoe anyhow. This is perfect for that situation.

 

About $9 at Costco. Short enough to fit under the tonneau cover too.

I fit a few dry bags, good size cooler, sleeping mats and a tote for grub and what not.

 

Love my Hardigg boxes. Got them from a Dental super who was buying govt surplus dental equip used by the military. Bear proof.

 

I have these two.

the plano is old and has taken a lot of abuse. I actually originally used it as a jobsite tool box for story material (stuff that wouldnt develop legs and walk away) but needed weather protection. So its on its last leg. Got 6 years out of it and originally bought it used so who knows how old it is. (kijiji)

The pelican case is amazing, but they are a bit pricey. I was lucky I found that one off kijiji (similar to craigslist)
I met a couple last time I was camping and they told me they just use old ammo crates and such. you can get them dirt cheap from army surplus stores, so I'm considering getting some.

 

check out the dewalt tough system or the rigid version just like it
I've seen a few guys on the jobsites with them and they take a hell of abuse. They aren't as big but work great for small organizing.
I've been considering getting some for camping organizing as well.

also consider what @0210 is doing with his. He has a nice drawer system set up that he's building in his thread

Really liking his setup. I'd do the same if I had a canopy.
Plus he has a beautiful german shepherd in a lot of the pics lol.

 

That will work also.

 

I use the "tough tote" boxes from Lowes with the yellow lid. Not totally waterproof but I usually carry a tarp anyways. They all stack and come in 4 sizes,
At <$14 a piece I can't get mad if one breaks
