Stay organised with Camping Storage options from Repco

Camping or off road touring is a fantastic way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but proper storage is essential to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Whether you're heading out for a weekend getaway or an extended adventure, organise your gear effectively with the great array of clear top storage bags and hand storage containers at Repco. Stocking the renown Snatch brand ensures you get storage gear designed for functionality, reliability and durability.

Choosing the Right Storage Containers

One of the first steps in organising your camping gear is selecting the right storage containers. Durable plastic tubs with secure lids are a popular choice, as they are waterproof, stackable, and easy to transport. Clear top bags are also particularly useful, as they allow you to see the contents without opening them. Alternatively, heavy-duty duffel bags or backpacks can be a great option for soft storage, especially when space is limited.

When choosing containers, consider the size and weight of your gear. It's best to use smaller containers for items like cooking utensils, first aid kits, and toiletries, while larger tubs can hold bulkier items such as sleeping bags, tents, and tarps. Labelling each container or having a clear top will also make it easier to find what you need when you're out in the bush.

Organising Your Gear

Once you have your storage containers, it's time to organise your gear. Group similar items together to make packing and unpacking more efficient. For example, keep all your cooking equipment, such as pots, pans, and utensils, in one container. Similarly, store your sleeping gear, including sleeping bags, pillows, and mats, in another.

Consider creating a checklist to ensure you don't forget anything important. A well-organised checklist can help you pack efficiently and avoid overpacking, which can lead to unnecessary clutter. Be mindful of weight distribution when loading your vehicle, as uneven weight can affect driving safety.

Protecting Food and Perishables

Food storage is a critical aspect of camping. Use airtight containers or resealable bags to keep food fresh and prevent spills. An esky or car fridge is essential for storing perishable items like meat, dairy, and fresh produce. To maximise cooling efficiency, pre-chill your esky and use block ice or ice packs instead of loose ice, which melts faster.

Store non-perishable items, such as canned goods and dry foods, in a separate container to keep them organised and protected from moisture. Always secure your food storage to prevent wildlife from accessing it, especially in areas where animals like possums or kangaroos are common visitors.

Maximising Space

Space can be a challenge when camping, particularly if you're travelling with a group. To make the most of your available space, pack items that serve multiple purposes. For example, a tarp can be used as a groundsheet, a shelter, or a cover for your gear. Collapsible or foldable items, such as chairs, tables, and water containers, are also excellent for saving space.

Use the interior of your vehicle wisely by packing heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top. Roof racks or cargo carriers can provide additional storage for bulky items like kayaks, bikes, or extra luggage. Just ensure everything is securely fastened to avoid accidents during transit.

Maintaining Your Gear

Proper storage doesn't end when the trip is over. After returning home, take the time to clean and dry your gear before putting it away. Moisture can lead to mould, mildew, and unpleasant odours, so ensure everything is thoroughly dry before storing it. Store your gear in a cool, dry place to prolong its lifespan and keep it ready for your next adventure.

Inspect your equipment for any damage or wear and tear, and make repairs as needed. This proactive approach will save you from unpleasant surprises on your next trip and help you maintain the quality of your gear over time.

Enjoy the great outdoors with the right gear from Repco

Effective camping storage is all about preparation, organisation, and care. By choosing the right storage containers, grouping your gear logically, and protecting your food, you can simplify your camping experience and focus on enjoying the great outdoors. With a little effort, you can ensure your gear stays in top condition, making every trip a memorable one.
