Suggestions for containers to carry equipment for camping?
My boyfriend and I have gotten heavily into camping (campground camping, using a tent….no RV) We’ve gotten pretty good at organizing and bringing everything we need without bringing too much extra stuff, but the one thing I haven’t gotten completely nailed down is the best way to carry/transport all the supplies. You know, stuff like cooking utensils, plastic bags for leftovers, paper towels, cans of sterno, etc. I have been just carrying them in those mesh bags that the grocery stores are selling these days for people to us instead of grocery bags. While this gets the job done, I have a feeling there’s a better way to organize my stuff so that I’m not constantly rummaging through bags looking for things. I was considering Rubbermaid-type containers but thought I’d ask for ideas in case others have a really great system to share. Thanks !
The plastic type containers with the snap on lids work fine. Find them at Walmart, Dollar Stores, etc. Organize all your things into piles and measure the longest/largest objects. The plastic containers come in all shapes (and sometimes different colors) and you don’t want them to be an inch short. They stack nicely in the back of your vehicle. When you arrive at the camp site, you can unload them and stack them around the site where you will use them. They are waterproof, but not critter proof.
The smoother the top the better it will shed the rain, so think about that when you pick them out.
Keep one for the “dirty” stuff that is used in the campfire, like pie irons and pans to keep the black soot from other items.
