Buckets

[Holomon]

Obviously rope (very long!) and bucket. BUT we would have to weight one side of the bucket to ensure it immersed. No doubt we could jerry rig something up. But as this system will probably be used in teotwawki I wondered if any of you had previously thought of the problem and come up with a solution?

Normal buckets tip over in a well, you don't need to weight one side. Once you've let out enough rope and the handle flips down, it carries the bucket over and as it fills it pulls it under.
