sewing machine down there to repair and fix things
everybody's gear room is going to be a little bit different depending on whether you live
in an apartment your mom's basement whether you have a house whether you have a nut hut like me
suga how do you store your down equipment how do you store your top quilts your sleeping bag your
under quilts so i hang mine i leave them hung out now a lot of storage depends on what you have and
where you live and how you can store your stuff if you got an extra closet hang your stuff in there
hang it off a wall hang it up like i do here in my nut hut put it in a cotton bag or a tupperware bin
lay it out flat under your bed don't let that down or even your synthetic fabrics just stay
compressed it'll just kill it and it will never just achieve the loft and come back to life
taking like a good cotton bag now this this one's made by hammock gear and it's called a quilt bag
and it's just a big old cotton sack and i can take like i'm taking this is a an old rei zero
degree sleeping bag i have actually pretty expensive and to just put your put your gear
your sleeping bags in a nice loose cotton breathable sack like this
that's just kind of lightly cinched down and that way your your sleeping bag is just not
compressed into a little ball it has a little room to breathe so that's a really good thing
to do but i hang mine up there and here's how this works i have this hooked up it's just a
closet rod or some sort of dowel i bought at home depot and i just have some line just some utility
line that i got at the hardware store and a couple of pulleys and what i do is i just come over here
and i have a a cleat in the wall here and i have a small little carabiner
so when i want to let these down and i just lay them on there loosely i can lower them down
right so take my quilts off from here flop that right there
and then i just pull it right back up once i've done everything so i grab my string and i pull it
and i keep a carabiner right there so i can hook my hand on it and i have right here is
where the v comes together from where i have it all hooked up up there with a little [ __ ] and
i just put that right on that cleat and those are up there good to go for me it doesn't matter
if it's my mandolin it doesn't matter if it's a control line plane it doesn't matter if it's a
bad mitten racket it doesn't matter if it's my backpacking equipment or a canoe paddle
the things i like to do if i leave them out so that i can see them that every time i see them
i'm going to go i got to make time for that leave a pack hanging on the wall so that you can see
it it'll remind you to start kind of working your way toward a trip and we all have to do
that differently that's my gear storage take care of your gear love it leave it out where
you can see it at least a piece of it that'll get you going out there woo buddy i'll secure it 67.
