Camping is a great way to take advantage of the benefits of outdoor time and spend time with friends and family. But living outdoors requires a considerable amount of supplies. For families who camp frequently, camping gear storage can be a challenge. This ultimate guide to camping storage will help you figure out the best way to store your camping gear to keep it in top shape and easily accessible for your next trip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Assess Your Supplies<\/h2>\n

The way you store your camping gear plays a big factor in how long it lasts and how easy it is to prepare for your next camping trip. However, unless you have a space designed especially for camping storage, neatly and conveniently packing away all your camping supplies is a major struggle.<\/p>\n

The best way to determine your camping storage needs is to figure out how much gear you have and the amount of space you’ll need to store it. Depending on how large your group is and the camping activities you enjoy, this can mean carving out a significant amount of space. Whether you just returned from camping or are preparing for the camping season, begin by getting all your camping supplies together to figure out exactly what you have and what you need.<\/p>\n

Take Inventory<\/h3>\n

As you sort through your gear, making a list will help you get a clear understanding of what you need to store and how many things you need to purchase or replace. Carefully check each item for damage and get rid of items that are beyond repair. As you eliminate items, compose a shopping list of things you need to replace.<\/p>\n

You may choose to use separate lists for each category to use as a final inventory list for each storage container. Digital lists can be stored on your phone for easy access while packing and at the campsite. If you decide to use your storage containers for car storage and campsite use, you may prefer to tape a paper list to the inside lid of each container.<\/p>\n

Sort and Categorize<\/h3>\n

Camping gear comes in all shapes and sizes. Sorting your gear by size and category can help you keep everything organized and put what you need right at your fingertips. Organizing in this fashion means your storage containers can be used in the car and wherever you camp. Your camping gear categories may include:<\/p>\n

Camping Kitchen<\/h3>\n

This category consists of everything your camping group needs for cooking and eating, including stove and fuel, firestarter, frying pan, cooking utensils, cutting board, eating utensils, plates and cups, camp sink, coffee pot, can opener, sharp knife<\/a>, dish towel, and trash bags.<\/p>\n

Bedding<\/h3>\n

Whether you’re a minimalist or need all the comforts of home, your bedding may include sleeping bags, air mattresses, sleeping pads, and camping pillows.<\/p>\n

Tents and Tarps<\/h3>\n

Keeping your basic dwelling equipment together ensures you have what you need. This might include tents<\/a> and stakes, tarps, and sun shades.<\/p>\n

Tools<\/h3>\n

The tools you need to set up your camping site and keep everything running smoothly may include a rubber hammer, a multi-tool, duct tape, an extra cord, a mattress repair kit, a saw, and an ax.<\/p>\n

Packs and Bags<\/h3>\n

Backpacks are convenient for hiking or simply moving from one activity to another. The bags you use while camping may include duffle bags for clothing and supplies, sturdy backpacks for each family member, and insulated bags to keep food cool.<\/p>\n

First Aid<\/h3>\n

Whether you purchase a ready-made kit or you put the essentials together yourself, your camping first aid kit should include bandages, gauze pads, blister treatment, tweezers, hand sanitizer, hydrogen peroxide, cotton balls, a thermometer, ice packs, heat packs, aspirin, an emergency whistle, and antibiotic salve.<\/p>\n
