Kit/Gear Storage. How I store my Camping, Bushcraft, Cooking and Canoe Gear at Home.

You asked for it ,so here it is!

In this video, I will be showing you around my kit room where I store all my camping, bushcraft, cooking and canoeing gear. As we all know only too well, storing our gear between trips can present us with a bit of a challenge - how to store things correctly, where is best to keep it and what in, are there any special preparations we need to do before storing certain items etc, etc.

I am lucky to have a room dedicated to drying and storing gear, but I appreciate not everybody does - hopefully though, this video might give you some tips for your own storage arrangements and too make sure that kit is ready to use the next time you need it.

I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

The most important thing about this video is my wife doesn't think that I have too much stuff now after seeing all your goodies, the bad part is she asked me why I can't keep my stuff put away like that 😜

I put three 7- shelf units in my spare room and filled them. I was thinking that I should cull down the collection but now I can see that I just need more shelves! Thanks Simon!

HA, HA! I LOVE THIS!
My wife has often complained about how much outdoor, camping, bushcraft, canoeing, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking kit I have.
Then I showed her this video.
What I own would fit in a quarter of your kit room. You've made me look positively spartan! Cheers.

This is just what I was looking for! Not a lot of outdoor content creators do their gear storage videos. Thanks Simon!

[thx]

I am inspired to clear out my old shed just for storage

[RedwingInNH]

I need to do this with my yarn and tools. You've motivated me. Today's the day. The next couple months are probably the day, too.

Thank you Simon, this has helped my marriage: I watched this with my wife, who made the comment ‘God, he’s got a lot of crap hasn’t he?’ - to which I was able to reply, ‘You see? You see how lucky you are?’ 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Simon, us mere mortals can only dream of such a man cave, and some great tips! (Give my best wishes to Mrs In the Woods btw!)

Amazing, Simon! Now my husband is afraid I’m gonna do this with his gear…and he’ll never be able to find anything ever again! 😂

Simon, love the videos. For the mouse problems, you can try a few drops of peppermint oil on a cotton ball. Mice hate the smell of peppermint, it might keep them out of your kit. Just leave a few of those peppermint cotton balls around your building. It should help with the mice, but might make your equipment a little aromatic.

Thanks for this Simon. I’ve told my partner that I need more kit and now I have video evidence that I do need more. Great video as usual. All the best. Keep them coming.

I've found Christmas tree bags to be pretty good to hold those large tents. Basically a ton of room where you don't have to roll perfectly, and has handles.

Thank you , Simon .

Simon, you are the most organized Bloke in the World.

The timing of this video is absolutely brilliant! I just purchased an 8x10 foot shed yesterday for this exact purpose. Thank you so much for the useful info. I'll definitely be borrowing a few of your ideas

A man having a gear room is a fundamental human right.
Yours is similar to mine.
But a bit bigger, and more organised, and you have electricity, and more stuff.

I am reminded of the saying “he who dies with the most toys wins”. Must get some Plano boxes… cheers

Just watched you first video from Jan 2017. You and Mags look just a little younger back then. 5 years now I've been enjoying going to the woods with you and Mags. Such a wonderful journey. Again, thanks for bringing us along and rub Mags eyes for us all.

Enjoyed watching, Simon. The closer I get to retirement, the more gear I'm accumulating in readiness for some wild camping, so this video was really well-timed. At the moment, the gear is strewn all over the place in 2 bedrooms, much to my wife's annoyance! Have to say, your shed is a lot better stocked that some of the shops I've been into.
