7 Camping Gear Storage Tips: Ready for Adventure

When it comes to keeping your camping gear organized, a little planning goes a long way. If you pack and organize your gear with additional care now, collecting your gear from your storage unit for your camping trip will be a breeze. Here are some helpful tips for storing your camping gear.

  1. Think About What You Need: You may be in a hurry to put things away until next spring, but you may find yourself longing for camping gear throughout the winter and regretting placing it in the attic or beneath heavy items in the garage. Take a moment to consider which of your camping equipment you’ll require. When you have visitors, do you, for example, Use of camping beds? Will sleepovers necessitate the use of your children’s sleeping bags? Will the blankets come in handy around the house or in the car for long road trips this winter? Could these torches come in handy if there’s a power outage?

 

  1. Clean It Before You Pack: Make sure to clean your equipment thoroughly before storing it for the winter. The last thing you want when you unload your tent from storage in the spring is dirt all over the place. Ensure your camping stove and gear are clean and grease-free. All of this will result in a cleaner storage facility and equipment that will last longer. In the long run, a little additional effort upfront can pay dividends.

 

  1. Dry It: The next item on your camping gear packing list should be to make sure it’s dry. If you don’t do this now, you’ll be in for an unpleasant awakening next year when camping season returns. Mold and mildew will not only ruin the smell of your tent and sleeping bags, but they will also cause them to disintegrate. This will be a huge disappointment if you’ve invested a lot of money in your camping gear.

 

  1. Make the Most of the Space You Have: As you pack everything away, be creative. Do you have a place to stow that 45-liter backpack that you need to lug around on so many trails? Then, before putting it away, make sure you pack everything you need, including sleeping bags and mats, lighting, and the lightest collapsible chairs. Don’t waste space by dispersing your items across your storage container.

 

  1. It’s A Good Idea To Bring In Some Accessories: If you really want to up your storage game, invest in some shelving. With an old bookcase or industrial shelving, there’s no need to drill screws or pound nails into the walls. Adhesive wall hooks are another great option for securing some of your stray things. Compression sacks, lamps, hammocks, and even small cooking sets are all viable options.

 

  1. Pack Strategically: This one is self-evident, but it’s still worth addressing. Once the weather warms up, you’ll want easy access to your gear, so keep your camping gear and any other seasonal goods – patio furniture, yard equipment, etc. – towards the front of your unit.

 

  1. Invest in Storage Units: Storage unitsgive a tough outer shell that protects your belongings while also keeping your camping gear organized. They also don’t disassemble as quickly as other units, and they’re simple to mark and return to your garage in the spring.

Because camping storage is frequently limited, it’s beneficial to get creative with what you currently have. While camping, having precise processes in place will allow you to spend more time enjoying the great outdoors. For more information, contact us.
