Steps to Organize Your Camping Gear Box
1. Categorize Your Gear
Start by sorting your camping essentials into categories. This will help you determine the best way to store and access them efficiently. Common categories we see are:
- Cooking & Food Prep: Stoves, fuel, cookware, utensils, non-perishable food.
- Shelter & Sleeping Gear: Tent, sleeping bags, blankets, pillows.
- Emergency & Safety Supplies: First aid kit, flashlight, fire extinguisher, multi-tool.
- Clothing & Personal Items: Weather-appropriate clothing, toiletries, bug spray, sunscreen.
- Navigation & Tools: Maps, GPS, compass, extra batteries, rope, duct tape.
2. Use Storage Containers and Dividers
To keep small items from shifting, use clear storage bins or labeled pouches. The Out-In-About Box™ 2.0 offers customizable dividers, allowing you to create designated sections for different gear types.
3. Prioritize Accessibility
Store frequently used items near the top or in easily accessible sections. Cooking gear, first aid kits, and flashlights should be readily available rather than buried under less frequently used gear.
4. Utilize Vertical Space
Stackable containers, hanging organizers, and vertical dividers can help make the most of the space inside your camping storage box.
5. Keep Heavy Items at the Bottom
Prevent shifting during transport by placing heavier gear at the bottom of your camping gear box.
6. Label Everything
Clearly labeled containers or color-coded bags make finding items easier, especially in low-light conditions. If you're using the Out-In-About Box™ 2.0, take advantage of the customizable organization options to create a system that works best for you.
Maintaining an Organized Camping Gear Box
1. Clean & Repack After Each Trip
Before storing your overland gear boxes after a successful overlanding trip, make sure everything is clean and dry. This prevents mold, mildew, and unwanted odors from building up. This also protects your gear box from damage.
2. Restock Essentials
After every trip, check for used or missing supplies. Refill your first aid kit, replace batteries, and restock non-perishable food items so that you will be ready for your next adventure.
3. Adjust Based on Trip Needs
Your gear needs may vary depending on the season, the destination, and the duration of your trip. Customize your camping storage box accordingly by swapping out unnecessary gear and adding relevant items for your next journey.
