STORAGE/CONTAINER

The appeal of storage boxes and containers used for camping

A storage box or container that allows you to store and transport your camping gear. They are very useful when camping because you can organize your belongings so they are easy to take out, and you can stack them vertically when carrying them.

Storage boxes and containers also serve as interior decorations on the site. Not only can you store unused camping gear, but you can also create a stylish site by arranging them in a well-balanced manner to match your camping colors.

Depending on the product, there are items that can be used in place of tables and chairs, which also has the benefit of reducing the amount of camping equipment you need to bring with you.

Boxes and containers are great for storing camping gear that tends to take up space at home! Since you can manage all your camping equipment at once, you can avoid losing your camping equipment.

Storage boxes and containers are useful items when camping, so it's a must-have item.

Points to consider when choosing storage boxes and containers

Here are five points to consider when choosing storage boxes and containers.

Choose from types
Choose from size
choose something lightweight
Is stacking possible?
Choose by design

Keep the points in mind and choose the item that suits you!

Point 1: There are 4 types of storage boxes and containers

There are four types of storage boxes and containers: hard, soft, folding, and bag types.

-Hard type

The hard type is a sturdy type made of hard materials such as resin or metal. It is highly durable and will protect your stored items.

Not only can it be used for storage, but it can also be used to place camping equipment on top of the main unit or as a substitute for a table or chair. Many of the products are stylish, and one of their appeals is that they can also be used as interior decorations.

While it is sturdy, highly versatile, and convenient, it has the disadvantage that it is heavier and bulkier than other types. It does not become compact even when not in use, so be careful about its size when installing it in a narrow space.

-Soft type

The soft type is made of flexible material and can store items of various shapes regardless of its shape.

It can be stored in small gaps without wasting anything, so it is recommended for people who want to make the most of their space.

The soft type is lighter and easier to carry than the hard type. When not in use, it can be folded flat, so it does not take up much space when stored.

However, the soft type is susceptible to external shocks, so be careful not to drop or bump it when carrying it.

-Folding type

The folding type is a type that can be folded into a compact size when not in use. Many products are made of resin, and like the hard type, they protect stored items with a sturdy material.

However, it is less durable than the hard type, and heavier and bulkier than the soft type, so it is not suitable for people who value functionality.

Recommended for those who are looking for a storage box or container that has a certain degree of durability and storage capacity.

-Bag type

A bag type that can be carried as a tote bag, shoulder bag, backpack style, etc.

It is lightweight and made of relatively soft fabric, making it convenient to carry. There are various capacities, and the compact type can be used as a peg case or seasoning case. Some larger types can even fit tents and tarps.

Although it cannot be used to place items on top of the main unit or to replace a chair or table, it is a recommended type for people who value portability.

Point 2: Decide the size depending on what you will be storing.

Storage boxes and containers are available in multiple sizes. If the size is too small, items will not fit in the box, and if it is too large, items may collide with each other inside the box and be damaged.

Choose the size and capacity that suits the items you want to store.

Also, if you are loading it into your car or storing it at home, it is essential to check that the hard type and folding type can be installed in the storage location.

Point 3: Lightweight items are best for outdoor activities

Since it will be used for outdoor activities such as camping, we recommend lightweight boxes or containers that are easy to carry.

Especially when using it for solo camping, choose a product that can be easily carried by one person.

Point 4: Stacking is also important

Products that can be stacked are convenient for storage and loading. Especially when stacking items vertically, it is important that the boxes and containers are stable against each other. If you lose your balance and fall, the item may become damaged and unusable.

Many items can be stacked if they are made by the same manufacturer, so if you are unsure whether you can stack them, it is best to purchase items from the same manufacturer.

Point 5: Choose your favorite design

A wide range of storage boxes and containers are sold, from plain and simple products to colorful and cute models, to products with camouflage patterns and rugged designs.

Choose your favorite design and organize your site in style.

Tips for storing camping gear properly

When you're using camping equipment, it can get messy and you can't remember where everything is.

Here are three tips for storing your camping gear properly.

Sort by category
do labeling
Convenient to have partitions

I will tell you about each in detail.

Sort by category

We recommend storing items such as pegs, cutlery, and tableware by category. In particular, storing small items separately can make them difficult to find and cause them to be lost.

Also, storing dirt-stained items such as pegs and guy ropes together with dishes and cutlery is not recommended from a sanitary perspective, as the dirt will transfer.

Separate and store items such as bonfire items and construction items that tend to get dirty, as well as dishes and cutlery that you want to keep clean, by category.

Easy to understand with labeling

It is convenient to label them so that you know what is inside when you take them out.

There are various types of labeling tape, including those that you can write on yourself and those that have pre-printed labels. Choose a label that suits your taste.

Types with partitions are convenient

Dividers allow you to separate and store clothes, kitchen utensils, outdoor gear, etc. It can be stored in an organized manner, so you can see at a glance what is where when you take it out.

It also prevents stored items from coming into contact with each other, so you can safely store items that are easily damaged and breakable, such as those made of glass.

Some types of partitions are removable, allowing you to create space according to the items you want to store. If you want to store items of various sizes in the same container, we recommend a removable type.
