How to Store Your Camping Gear Effectively

Camping is a wonderful pastime that generates lasting memories, challenges you physically and psychologically, and provides a respite from the daily grind. Camping, on the other hand, may rapidly cause worry for those who do not plan beforehand. Check out our camping guide below for some helpful advice on how to stay organised and store you camping gear effectively.

Clean everything before storing

Before putting your gear away, ensure that everything is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Camping gear (such as, sleeping bags and tents) that are stored away damp might develop mildew, which can cause them to smell bad. Before washing, drying, or storing something, be sure to read the manufacturing label on the product or look up instructions online.

For grab-and- go getaways, consider using storage containers

In addition to ensuring that your belongings are securely preserved, storage bins make packing for your next trip very easy. To keep your camping gear safe from UV light, store it in dark-coloured plastic bins (such as, dark grey or black). Make it easier to locate your camping stuff by grouping according to activity labelling each container accordingly.

PACKING TIP!

Maximize the longevity of your sleeping bags and tents by storing them loosely in bigger cotton or mesh bags in one or more containers with enough room.

Create a Ziplock bag system

Grouping similar items together makes packing and storage a breeze. Get a pack of larger-sized Ziplock bags and a sharpie and start putting everything in their proper places! As an added bonus, Ziplock bags help keep camping basics like utensils, toiletries and toilet paper dry and clean. You may also get more durable reusable silicone bags in order to lessen your environmental footprint.

Store everything in a cool, dry spot

Properly storing your camping gear involves planning and effort, but the results are well worth the effort. Once you have put in the effort, it will be easier and faster each time, so you may enjoy the great outdoors for years to come.
