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.
