Has anyone else spent the past month unloading and reloading your rig? My wife and I plan on hitting the Mojave once this crap is over and really trying to not “overpack” but want to be the most prepared!

Cleaned my grill, I keep re-organizing stuff in the trailer. All prepped and ready to go nowhere!

I put a new RTT on right before this all started. It doesn't fit and had to re organize my entire roof. Tomorrow I'll be in the garage figuring out a new configuration for the bed of the truck and what goes where. I've got everything but I don't feel like it's as accessible as it could be.

Re organized everything today. I really wish I had opening side windows on the cap.

Fridge, toilet, sand spike, waterport, and an extra gallons.

Went through and re stocked all of my electrical stuff. Connectors, tape, etc, fuses, etc.

Brought more frequently used stuff inside for easier access. Adventure tool co. tool rool, Inde Flate system, and all of my air stuff. (Deflators, hose, gauges, etc.)

Ready for Spring. The only thing not pictured is all of the fishing stuff I bring along.

We finally got a frig before all this and itching to use it too. We will be back out there soon!
 
Yep -Jeep, Ram, trailer, shop, garage, yard. I found stuff that I either needed or was so buried that I obviously don't need to pack it around.
 
Got my top rack built and was going to finish my switch pod (diy) and realized that I need more crimp connectors. Amazon is in slomo for "non essential" items. Maybe I still have time. This may last a while. I still haven't tackled the gear boxes yet.

Haha yeah. I walked around my garage yesterday and just kept adding crap to my amazon list and ordered it. I had to restock some electrical crap, fishing line, etc and figured if I order it now hopefully I'll have it by the time this crap goes away. I would just go to Home Depot but my wife flips every time I try and go somewhere.

I want reorganize all my gear in my totes also
 
Everytime I get ready to start clearing out stuff or doing maintenance, it rains.

Once everything gets back to normal I won't be ready.

Spent part of yesterday relocating and organizing gear from my van and trailer, and totes from around the homestead, to a spot in the cellar to make more room in my shop. Built a new rack designed for the specific sizes I use most.

Loaded it up with my adventure containers (top shelf) and other totes from around the homestead.

Felt good to get this done finally, sorted and organized, and make more space in my shop.


Stay safe, stay clean, stay healthy!

I thought I had alot of totes. Got you on the water cans by one. Sleeping bags in stuff sacks? I have two. If their tents I have two of those also. Other than that, you really have me beat.

Heh - it's not a competition.

As indicated, it's only the top shelf that holds my adventure gear. All the black Sterilite totes are household stuff, except the big one with no lid on the floor at this end.

I have a mess of stuff in storage, too, and the trailer is still full as well. I tend to stay out for several months at a time, so haul more than many might for different environments and situations, as well as a mess of camera gear.

yeah, organizing gear and having a place for it was also a quarantine to-do item for me, as well. can't have a basement down here in the swamps, so im using a shipping container and staying above ground. not quite finished and the wife is already trying to sneak some of her arts and craft stuff in there...marriage might be 50/50, but NOT when it comes to storage space!
