Supply Pods are containers stocked with emergency supplies. The recommended types of supply pods are made from a five-gallon bucket with a lid. This allows donor ants to calculate how many pods they can fit into their vehicle. They also protect the contents from rain and can be used for other things on site. Most grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants will give you their used buckets for free. You can buy new ones at Lowes for less than five dollars.
