I keep hoarding in everything I like, either from garage sale or hunting stores. I have a lot aluminum cooking accessories and other hunting stuffs. I have put them in different bags, but as more stuff is put in bags, I have difficulty remembering which bag holds what. So I continue to duplicate the purchase. What a waste!
I would like to learn from you, the experienced and well organized hunters. Photos will be more helpful.
Thanks.
 
Don't have photo's but I use the large black/grey Rubbermaid locking tote's... and a large duffel bag (hockey gear sized).

One tote has kitchen/cooking stuff; ie. Pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils, spatula/laddle, filleting knives, spices, tea, coffee, folding camp toaster, matches/lighters, dish soap, scouring pads/tea towels etc...

The second tote has camping gear; a spare (new) folded tarp, garbage bags, cord/bungie straps, hammer/nails, duct tape, fiberglassing repair kit for boat and canoes, Coleman propane stove, Coleman propane lanterns X 2, propane heater, propane hoses and fittings, axe and file.

The large duffel contains; tarps X 2, 12'X12' tent, sleeping bags X 2, ground sheet. Two cots are separate from the duffel.

With these items prepared and self contained, it is easy to put together personal clothing, hunting/fishing weapons of choice and food... then hit the road.
 
A big hockey bag for the clothing and gear for each season, ie turkey, migratory birds, deer. There is enough room you can keep all your stuff in it knapsack calls etc, then just grab the bag on the way out the door.

Similar, but I've started buying the large Plano totes. Four solid latches, grab points, small luggage type wheels at the back, tie down points for lashing to a roof or quad rack.....they're great. And if you're lucky you can buy them for $20 at Walmart.

Our hunting clothes are in large bins also... and we have another large bin for hunting boots, folding camp chairs, toilet seat, garbage bags, extra fishing line and miscellaneous gear. But, with clothing, what we bring depends on what we are hunting and where we are hunting it. On portage in 10 day long moose trips, we just bring the whole bin.
 
One Rubbermaid tote for cooking utensils, pots, frying pan, etc. One smaller no name brand tote for dry food and cans (noodles, rice, canned salmon, canned meat, etc) and eating utensils. When heading out the sleeping bag, pillow, blanket and thermarest go in a duffle bag. For week long trips in cold weather a Rubbermaid with cold weather clothes goes along. In warmer weather a duffel bag with a change. I have to admit that my handsaw, axe, and Coleman lamp kind of end up in random cardboard boxes of plastic buckets for the trip, the tent usuually goes on its own. I have a backpack full of tarps and sometimes a whole plastic milk crate full of rope and another backpack full of meat bags made of sheets in a plastic bag. Food Goes in a big Coleman-style cooler at the last minute. Have a cot and a propane Coleman stove that get pack on their own too. One 20-litre water container for longer trips or a box of two litre bottles for short trips.I throw more coats and jackets than I need on top of the rifle in the extra cab.

Chain saw in a stout cardboard box though I am thinking of modifying a double-wide milk crate but the blade will protrude. Or I can bring the Stihl saw instead in its case. And a gas can but the buggers always stink up the inside of the canopy.
 
How many rubbermaid totes are there??
I thought I had them all!!
I have multiple sets of gear even though I have separate bins for each hobby.
Various hobbies require different clothing and gear.
I have a bin for kitchen gear for canoeing, hunting, stationary outback camping.
I have a bin full of back-packing gear.
I have a bin full of hunting accessories, calls, scents, etc.
I only have 3 pair of boots, so they just go in the closet.
