Shoulder carrying capacity
It's the first time this
Winter we've had to break an ice hole in the tank for some fresh dish
water.
One of these days I'm going
to make a shoulder yoke and see if carrying a bucket on each side would
be smarter.

I second the idea of using two buckets. If they're half full it will be easier than the a full one and you'll get just as much water.
Just make sure you engage all your muscles from arm to shoulders to arm. It feels like you're an over built bodybuilder but it acts as the yoke. The last thing you want is for it to feel like it's pulling your arm off...
