- 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 😜
😂😂
@@simonablokeinthewoods Storage is a drag ...Now I know wy wimmen or nagging..I need organisation out of her site !!huhuu !!Don't let them in whatever they say ..
Jeez, it’s quite a large collection and this kit is bloody expensive nowadays. Makes it a bit daunting to get out there. I’m just procrastinating over a lightweight chair. And I need two of everything as I go with my son. Thanks to Simon’s overnight canoe trip off Hickling broad I spotted him using a Kamui chair which I think if Simon,s using it , it must be good. My biggest problem here in Norfolk is where to wildcamp. I’d so like to get permission but where do you start ?
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!
Simon, you are the most organized Bloke in the World.
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! 😂
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.
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.
Your welcome 😂😉
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.
What a great idea! Thank you for this suggestion I’m going to try this
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.
This is just what I was looking for! Not a lot of outdoor content creators do their gear storage videos. Thanks Simon!
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.
Looked high and low for a foot locker style trunk to store my daughter's dress up clothes. czcams.com/users/postUgkxRkkpE1_3gMEZ2mPhAt6b2moNCUXyH8tG I had one growing up that I stored my Barbies in and wanted something sturdy like that for her costumes. This arrived really, really quickly and is exactly what I've been looking for. Perfect size, color (pink) and has stood up for nearly a year so far against my kids using it as a chair, stage, and barricade (😬) to keep each other out of their rooms. I'm probably going to order another one for my daughter's Barbies.
Now that's just given me an idea, I never thought of getting a larger shed to dry tents and other large items in
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
Happy to see Bill Gates getting into outdooring!
@@Brucey69
Well, Gates did buy up a bunch of farm land so...?? Lol
Glad it helped! 😁
Got to know Bill...does that shed comes with Windows?
@@tigerforge3517 sadly no windows, may have an apple or 2 in the future though 😉
Why does it not surprise me that everything is so neat and tidy. Feel free to come and organise my house Simon. 😆😆😆
One of those net jungle hammocks works well for storage of sleeping padsand or sleeping bags. Its a nice way to get things up and out of the way without shelves. You can dry things on them as well. Great video, thx for sharing.
Good idea!
Simon, such a great video. Sharing your system and how you use it, is the sort of information that I have rarely seen shared. You also prove that being organised is the way to be. Thanks.
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!)
Wow 😮 that is definitely a store room
The most organised guy on CZcams and one of my top channels 👍👍🏴
Thank you!
Wow, so neat❗With the names on it as well 👌🏻
And you also leave your camping spot very tidy.
I love that. Nature is so vulnerable.
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.
Enjoy that retirement when it comes! 👍👍👍
Ha. Always wondered what the net bag was . Can’t believe I never clicked. I’ve just paused the vid to unpack my best sleeping bags. 😂👍
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.
I'm grateful for your going through all this kit over the years, as it's helped me find my essential kit list, without having to aquire as much.
What first attracted me to your channel years ago were your videos where you packed everything you needed in a single German rucksack or hip pack.
I have one of my own now and can set it up for a day hike kitchen and meal, water for 4, tarp, seat, etc. And with quick tuning can adjust it for a smaller trip, or hammock overnight.
But to zero in on the essential kit, I've had to aquire a little more to find exactly the kit I like the best, but nowhere near as much as would have been needed without your videos.
Slim, QUIET, works great. I wanted modern and out of the way. This is it!
Thank you for your storage ideas and help 😀
Wow, that's an impressive amount of kit! Nicely organised too.
Thanks for sharing your storage ideas and strategies! Inspiring me to get more organized!
Thanks for another brilliant video Simon. You are one of my biggest motivators to get out and do what we do. Cheers to you my good sir!
Thanks Simon for a great video on how to store camping gear cheers Simon for awesome ideas 👍
Hi Simon, enjoy all your videos. Keep up the great work. I very much enjoy your canoe camping journeys. Congrats on the success of your channel. Again keep up the great work and keep on camping
Great video! Kudos to you for having this storage available! Love the way you created storage bins and shelves for organizing and storing your gear! It is visually easy to glance over and to find what you may need on any given trip! Cheers, mate!
That's amazing and very organized kit room Simon.
I have had mouse problems in my attic in the house. I like the barrel storage idea. I like your way of thinking on the shelf and boxes too. Thanks for the video.
Fantastic...lots of good storage tips..thanks for sharing
Great video! Love the organization!
So satisfying 😍
Love it. We get the full range of vids from you Simon and we love them all. I think you narrating paint dry might still be somehow fascinating.
Fantastic organization!
Fascinating video, thanks Simon! That's a lot of kit!
Big fan of all the videos Simon! Loving them, I must say you're organisation skills are truly impressive! Fair play to you, I am jealous of all that quality kit you have! 👌
Fantastic if you have the space for all of that! You are so awesome, Simon!
Amazingly organised, thanks for sharing Simon 🙏
thanks Simon some great tips and ideas
Ok I feel validated! Thanks for sharing!
Nice kit Si lad. For every In the Woods 🪵 Adventure 👍
Great video Simon. I had been meaning to ask you about this. Thanks Simon.
This is AMAZING!!! haha. Nice work.
Hi Simon, you‘re amazing, well organize, hope I’ve some space like yours 😂 always like your video, keep it up, thanks!
Well organized Simon! Just wondering: does your bike have a flat or are you saving space by letting the air out 😉
Awsome tips, thanks man. 🙌
Nice to see stuff organised😀. Loads of useful tips. Defiantly a very useful video.
Love the music.
Super jealous of your setup/storage system.
Now my ol' brain is bursting with ideas!
Really enjoy your channel.
Thank you Simon!
Very good tips and ideas, thanks Simon. Cheers
Nice collection and great set up Simon. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Great organization. Thanks for sharing, will definitely be taking some ideas from this video.
Thanks fot the tips Simon. 👍🏻
Cheers. 🍻
Such a cool transmission Simon Old Chap! Thanks for the tour around the Quartermasters stores simply spendid. Super organised for operations behind enemy lines. I spy some Biltong 😉🤗🙏♨️🇬🇧 great tips thanks.
Absolutely amazing
Awesome video !!! Very informative
Thanks, Simon, for giving a Tour of your Gear you do have a selection. Enjoyed it
What a nice neat setup.
Very organized. I love how everything has it's place. Especially the cooking items. You can just grab what you need for each individual trip without having to dig around or search for things. Nicely done 💕
That’s excellent 👌
Wish I had room to be so organised.
Definitely going to source some storage boxes to try and get a bit more organised and tidy👍
OMG. Imagine having so much gear you have to sort and store it. I'm 45yo and currently selling my backpack so I can afford 50% of the cost to upgrade to a new pack. And people think we Americans are spoiled LOL.
I do love the sea chest/vintage style trunks. Super cool.
Thank you so much. I know what I'm doing this weekend. I've been needing to do this for sometime and you've given me a lot of ideas. Thanks again.
Thanks Simon was good to see how you store your gear. Get stuff 💯🤘🍺
Great video as always. Yes I'm definitely envious of your kit store. cheers
Great video as always Simon!! You are really organized and that's awesome !! I wish I had a place like yours to store my gear . Take care and stay safe my friend
Really interesting video. Nice to see how well organised you are.
that was a brilliant vid loved the kit room
Some great ideas.
Thank you
Looks great! Looking forward to the cast iron video!
Oh. My. Starry eyed and turning green with envy here!
A man and his shed - love it !!!
Great video Simon!! I bet each brilliant bit of kit you got there has a story behind it!! 😃🙌👍
Excellent tips on how to store camping gear Simon. It has certainly given me food for thought.
Great vid Many Thanks and thanks for the tip on the food barrels
Yes! Thanks for sharing it gave me idea to use for storage boxes how to to store
Great video Simon 👍. Full of handy tip and advice 😉
Outstanding video really enjoyed it
Very well organized Simon!!! Well done!
A guy after my own heart.
Awesome tips and logical advice.
All about basic maintenance 🙂
Thanks for this video, was so worth the watch. I also took some very good info way from it. 👍
Envy level is off the scale here! I've got my stuff strung between my apartment, an RV (caravan to you), and one large self-storage unit and one smaller one. Trying to get it all consolidated into two spaces so that all my backpacking stuff is in my apartment, right to hand, and all the camping stuff will be either in the back of my truck, or in a mid-sized storage unit. Thanks for giving us a tour Simon!
Nice video. Good tips. 👍🏼
Simon... way cool. Thanks for sharing my friend. Besty wishes.... Ax
Great! I love a good organized gear room.
You are indeed fortunate to have your storage room ( which I love by the way). You are also fortunate to have all that equipment to store. I do like how you have everything so well organized. Good job. Thank you for your video.
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.
Great video presentation. You’ve given me some ideas for organizing my gear and I’m glad to know you also have a collection of cast iron cookware. I’m looking forward to your video on seasoning and maintaining cast iron.
Now that is what I call a man cave, amazing and so organised!
Ace....have total shed envy now!
😂😂😂😂 found this video a little late, but still right in time!!
As we are going to have a 5000kwh Solar installed to our roof, my wife has been to our attic may be the first time in years….
Over the years I stored all kind of outdoor equipment I bought for different occasions.
Well… let’s say it that way… it was a little more than she expected it to be 😏
Showing her this video saved me from a lot of discussion’s 😉😉😉
Great video Simon. Wow you've got a lot of cool gear. Very well organized 😊👍✊🏕️
Simon whether you admit it or not you have a Preppers paradise there!
That's really nice set up, I didn't know about sleeping bag long term storage so I'll be sorting that on my next day off thanks for posting
Thank you , Simon .
🐺Loupis Canis .
Awesome video!
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the cast iron video.
