Bucket caches are great. This one looks more like a "grab & go" kit in case you can't get to the main one in the house. You may want to bury a cheap rifle like a Mosin Nagant in a capped-off PVC pipe next to the bucket.

Always great to have things in there that you may run out of. Toiletries, ammo, snacks, a couple of MRE's, gun cleaning kit, socks/underwear, a tarp, emergency blanket, first aid kit... let your imagination run wild.

And like the others pointed out, don't forget the dessicant.

"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
