Susan in TN Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've been reading about organizing camping supplies in tubs on a couple of websites, and I would love to hear how this (or another system) has worked for you. I am making camping lists for a week-long family car camping trip in May, and even though we have most of what we need (lots of scouting), the sheer amount of stuff for a family of 8 is getting long...

Mrs Mungo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 We have a tough box with tents, sleeping bags and other big stuff like the Dutch oven, then we have a smaller box with things like backpacking stoves, dishes, roasting sticks, first aid kit, etc. I have seen organizational ideas with people using those plastic drawers, is that more what you mean? You might look on my camping Pinterest boards, I know I have a bunch of stuff like that pinned. My username is mrsmungo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2pandc Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Oh my, I have a great tip for this! Last year my husband bought a rolling tool box thing...he calls it a chuck box. I can't find the exact one, but it's similar to thishttp://www.walmart.com/ip/Trademark-Global-Stackable-Mobile-Tool-Box-with-Wheels/19676555 Ours has 3 layers. The bottom. It one holds all of our camping pots, large utensils, and plates etc. Then there is a middle layer that has dividers like a silverware tray that we put plastic ware and the like in. Then the top box holds bowls, dish soap, mugs, etc. The great thing is, it all buckles together and can roll. We used it a ton and we can just leave everything right in it between trips. We have a couple large utility storage boxes that hold sleeping pads and bags, camp stove, and any other large items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 we use mostly the medium-small totes. Usually one for each kid's clothes, one for mine, one for heavy/warm clothes if it'll be cold. Kitchen stuff gets its own tote. Bedding aside from sleeping bags gets a tote. I ahve a huge tote for the walls of our tent (a 10X20 garage) totes are really nice for clothes, etc., because they help keep water out. Note: I SCA camp, so the scale is kind of "everything but the kitchen sink" (actually a tote makes a good kitchen sink...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Pinterest fabulous? So many cool ideas! My kids saw a picture of a "glamping" tent and were mesmorized. I had to break it to them that our family attracts too much mud to achieve that look. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Mrs. Mungo, I went to your board so I could see your camping pins, but I haven't made it past your glorious food! Yum! When I quit drooling, I will go back to look at the camping pins. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
