Tip of the Week: How-To Organize Hunting Gear
Do you love to hate organizing your hunting gear as much as I do? When it’s organized, you feel like the champion of the world, but ugghhhh! We usually come home from a hunting trip tired and throw all of our gear into the closet. Then, it sits there unorganized until our next trip. After years of tossing our stuff into a closet, I’ve learned a few tips along the way.
We have to drive 2 hours minimum for our hunts, so it’s quite a task to get everything ready each time we head out. We don’t have the luxury of throwing a backpack on and walking out back to go sit in a blind.
Here are my 3 tips for organizing your hunting gear:
Keep needs in one box:
Ammo
Baby wipes and toilet paper
Batteries
Binoculars
First aid kit
Flashlight
Knives and a multi-tool
Paper towels
Trash and sandwich bags
My husband has his own box with all of his needs and I have my own bag with my needs.
Keep nice-to-haves in one box:
Ear Muffs
Nice camera
Range Finder
Spotlight
Targets
Trail cam
We combine both of our nice-to-haves in one box.
Keep all clothing together in one bag:
Bandana, Wild Rag or Gaiter
Boots
Fleece/Light-Weight Coat
Hat
Pants
Shirts and Tops
Again, my husband has his bag and I have my own bag. Then, we each throw in our toiletries and add-in any heavy weight clothing, if needed.
Then, you’ll need the following on each outing:
Corn (if your state allows it)
Food and snacks
Guns secured in case or box
Hunting license
Ice chest and ice
Shovel
Water, Cokes/Soda
If you can follow these tips for organizing your hunting gear, your next trip will be much easier.
