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 😜

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 ?

@chrisponsano4378 2 года назад

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!

@davehumpleby3440 2 года назад

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.

@curtsuttman9217 2 года назад

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.

@SteveSeadog 2 года назад

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.

@simonablokeinthewoods 2 года назад

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.

@nattydred2593 2 года назад

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.

@MeetTheBushes Год назад

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.

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.

I'm not sure what's more exciting - seeing this or seeing someone's sewing set up. Both equally exciting actually!! I loved this video!!! Your stuff is so well organized! And I thought I did a good job last weekend with my new Wham boxes and my sewing threads......The intro music made me laugh - here he is, opening the door, and - WOW! Impressive! And a new sewing machine - a bit different to the Jones you used for your baker tent!

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!

Cool stuff. Mice they are my least favorite mammal. Try putting dryer sheets spread around in your cubby holes and between any loose fabric canvas and so on. I have been using them now for 8 years and have not had any issues. A bonus they keep that musty smell away. Try it you will like it!

BUT I’ve never been 💯 on unpacking, cleaning, storage of the precious gear and kit. Side note: 🤬 rodents. K9 Mum & love how you are with Ms Maggie❤️🌺 Massive respect and thank you for your thorough, concise perspective, knowledge-sharing to us “one day” campers and also scaredy-cat, no clue but love the call of nature wannabe campers. Love your style. Your content is massively informative and enjoyable to watch. Especially love how you roll with the punches/boo boos 🤩 Looking forward to your next instalment. Video suggestion: Coming home and unpacking, airing out, cleaning kit….please!!! I am yet to see a decamp/unpack/stow video which is probs more important for the next adventure. Thanks.

@dwaynef5410 Год назад

Simon, there’s an easy solution to the mice problem. They make a lid trap that fits on any 5 gallon bucket. You simply put some peanut butter on the lid and mice walk up the ramp and walk out on the lid to eat the bait and they fall into the bucket alive. You can deal with them however you want after that.

I have all my kid in a shipping container and I think I should build a gear room in the garden but having a rented property is a high risk for building a shed of this scale 😂.
