Camping and hiking can be such a fun activity to share with family and friends. There's nothing quite like spending time in nature. Having the proper camping equipment is important if you want it to be a truly enjoyable experience. Camping equipment is expensive and can be delicate as well. It is imperative that it be stored properly to ensure it is in good condition when you are ready to use it again.

Your camping equipment should be completely clean before storing it away. It can get quite dirty while in the outdoors. Take your time to thoroughly and gently clean each piece of your camping equipment. Remove any mold with a water vinegar mixture. Let is dry fully before storing it.

To keep your camping equipment in tip-top shape, store it in a dry, cool place. Too much heat or moisture can wreak havoc with your camping equipment and cause permanent damage. If you are using a storage unit to store your equipment, be sure it is a climate-controlled storage unit.

It's not a good idea to just randomly store your camping gear in the closest space available where it will fit. Carefully create a proper storage space for your camping equipment and utilize plastic bins, heavy-duty totes and hanging storage organizers. Include labels on all your storage bins so that you can easily find the specific camping equipment you need when you need it.

Some of your camping equipment may take removable batteries. Be sure to remove any batteries from your devices and store those separately when possible. You can keep the batteries stored near each respective piece of camping equipment so that they are easy to find when you need them.
