IT MAY NOT BE THE SEXIEST THING, BUT ORGANIZATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE ON THE ROAD FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. HAVING THINGS ORGANIZED ALLOWS YOU TO FIT MORE STUFF IN YOUR TRUCK AND MAKES FINDING THINGS A LOT EASIER. WE LIVE BY THE RULE "EVERYTHING HAS A PLACE" SO THAT WE ALWAYS KNOW WHERE TO FIND THINGS WHEN WE NEED IT.
LABELER: THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO BRING WITH YOU ON THE TRAIL, BUT IT IS VERY HANDY TO HAVE AT HOME TO LABEL YOUR GEAR.
BOXES: HEAVY DUTY BOXES THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE ABUSE OF THE TRAIL ARE A MUST. FOR YEARS, WE'VE USED THE FRONT RUNNER WOLF PACK AND CUB PACK BOXES. WE'VE DEFINITELY PUT THESE BOXES THROUGH A LOT, AND THEY ARE STILL FREE OF ANY CRACKS OR BREAKS.
CANVAS BAGS: WE USE CANVAS ZIP BAGS TO ORGANIZE LOTS OF STUFF IN OUR RIG, LIKE ELECTRONICS, TOILETRIES, AND SMALL TOOLS. GETTING CANVAS BAGS IN A VARIETY OF COLORS ALLOWS YOU TO COLOR CODE GEAR AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WE KNOW THAT ALL OUR ELECTRONICS ARE IN ORANGE BAGS. IT REALLY CUTS DOWN ON TIME LOOKING FOR THINGS.
TOOL BAG: THE LAST THING YOU WANT ARE TOOLS JUST LOOSE IN YOUR TRUCK. FOR ONE, IT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO HAVE A HEAVY TOOL FLYING AROUND AS YOU BOUNCE DOWN THE TRAIL. IT CAN ALSO DAMAGE OTHER THINGS IN THE TRUCK. SO HAVING A TOOL BAG IS NOT ONLY SOMETHING WE RECOMMEND FOR ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES, BUT ALSO FOR SAFETY PURPOSES.
​
KITCHEN CONTAINERS: WE USE LITTLE PLASTIC CONTAINERS TO STORE SPICES AND SMALLER FOOD ITEMS. IT CUTS DOWN ON PACKAGING WASTE AND REALLY HELPS US KEEP OUR KITCHEN ORGANIZED. WE USE 2 OZ. CONTAINERS AND 4 OZ CONTAINERS FOR THINGS LIKE SPICES AND 10 OZ. CONTAINERS FOR THINGS LIKE DRIED RICE AND FRUIT.
​
DIRTY LAUNDRY BAG: DIRTY LAUNDRY ALWAYS SEEMS TO JUST END UP SCATTERED AROUND THE TRUCK. YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT DIRTY CLOTHES BACK IN WITH CLEAN CLOTHES, SO WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO WITH IT? HERE'S WHERE A DIRTY LAUNDRY BAG COMES IN. THE DIRTY LAUNDRY BAG WE HAVE IS LARGE, IT CAN EASILY FIT DIRTY CLOTHES FROM TWO PEOPLE FOR A WEEK. AFTER A TRIP, WE JUST BRING THE DIRTY LAUNDRY BAG STRAIGHT INTO THE LAUDRY ROOM SO WE CAN WASH ALL OF IT.
​
PACKING CUBES: PACKING CUBES ARE A GREAT WAY TO KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ORGANIZED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT ON LONGER TRIPS. YOU CAN SEPARATE CLOTHES BY TYPE- SO, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU HAVE ALL YOUR SHIRTS TOGETHER OR YOU CAN SEPARATE BY DAY SO YOU ONLY HAVE TO GET OUT ONE CUBE A DAY.
