That's awesome. My buddy Chris has a setup that is similar. He used the velcro strips all the way around, though, to keep from drilling holes in his bucket. It allows him to use it as his bait bucket as well, and the velcro strips allow him to fit just about anything in any place.
He packs a few rods, a few tip-ups, and his scooper on his bait bucket. He keeps roaches, fatheads and whatever else he buys for the day in there, and has a pouch he made to hold his bait puck for waxies on the side of the bucket as well (until he gets to his destination and slips them inside his breast-pocket).
I dont know how much he spent in Velcro, but it is wrapped around the entire bucket in at least 4-5 parallel bands.
I've also seen similar setups on sleds. Some guys that frequent the ponds around my dad's house take their sleds very seriously. If the ice holds out until the 16th (which i doubt), I'll have the chance to get out this year, and will try to snag some pics of my dad's neighbor's setup. It is as macguyver'ed as it gets.
