- Finally the Gear room is finished enough to be presentable. Having a decent organized room to store camping gear and equipment in makes it easier to find stuff and plan and pack for trips. I hope you enjoy!
I had no idea how much self control I had until I saw this video...Thank you!
LOL! Ive never had self control when it come to buying stuff!
"I have been buying gear that I don't need for 30 years" - When did "need" ever come into it?Absolutely awesome setup and I'm off to search for words to do it justice!
Lol. Want is always more fun than need! Thanks for watching Craig
Only followers of several years will not think you are crazy! For us, the fun is not only in a trip outside but as much in the dreaming, planning, and anticipation. I love most your enthusiasm. Thanks Dave (I feel sorry for those that are not a little crazy)
Very very well said! Yep, for those that know me, they understand. I'm glad you liked it and how I do things. Thanks for watching
I did think just that when i first tuned in he was doing a review of pots and pans and cooking gear and he had so much out on his tables in boxes and everywhere . He lift me scratching my head, why but now after watching all of his videos I think ? over a period of time, I truly understand him he loves what he does also he is very lucky to have the ability to turn his ideas into the real deal and he does have some great ideas. even at 75 I am impressed and not once has he tried to sell us a thing that in it's self is refreshing he wants nothing but to help those who are interested . Happy Trails Dick
@@mikeboone4425 I think reason is not that he wants just to help us. Reason why he does it is that he wants to share his interest with someone that has same interests. We are social creatures and do not want to be lonely in stuff we are doing.
@@Reallybigmonkey1 there is a lot to be said about the ART of camping.
Agreed. I think we’re all “a little crazy” sometimes, especially having to watch tv and see it every day. We are truly living in some strange times.
Dear Dave, I definitely owe you a debt of gratitude for your brilliant suggestion. After showing this video to my wife she looked at me and said: “honey I suppose your modest collection of outdoor gear hasn’t taken up as much room as I had previously thought.” LOL 😂
Lol! Man I'm glad I could help!
this man is my spirit guide
Thanks!
I can’t be the only woman who appreciates this amazing space! So well organized. When my kids left home for college and real life, I turned one bedroom into a bushcraft/camping/leather working room. So relaxing to be surrounded by all my outdoorsy stuff. Apparently I have a long way to go to catch up to you!
Thanks Laura! Oh I'm sure any camper, hiker outdoors enthusiasts would love to have a room full of gear! Kinda like cookie monster in a bakery. Lol.
You aren't! lol. Since my kids left home my house looks like a workshop. I do still have a 'neat space' for visitors.... People have often asked: Why on earth do you keep so much junk! I say... it's not junk, look! everything is organized and has a label. And than they see what I do with things and go: ooooh, okay! That is really handy (or nice).
@@Reallybigmonkey1 That's exactely how I feel watching this video hahaha, cookie monster in a bakery. Love it!
Ok, if two is one and one is none... then fifteen of everything is about the right amount! Love it Dave, you are the “gear guru”... 😉👍
LOL! I like that saying Charles!
Reallybigmonkey1 I live up in western Kentucky but have family in Chattanooga, I know you’re in north Georgia, perhaps we could meet up sometime!
That's cool, my brother and sister were both born in Murfreesboro Tenn! Yes, Im in North Georgia
Hear you. I am satisfied with two is one..........But he has it covered......many times over.
OMG...Gobsmacked!! Lost for words, never seen so much gear, ever, not even in surplus shops......absolutely phenomenal....
Now that's a reaction I like!
Wow Dave, now that you have it straightened out the gear room looks amazing. That's a gear room to be proud of.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Donnie!
Wow a truly incredible set up! i think if I had a room set up like that I’d not see sunlight for a year!
Lol! Believe me, I spend a lot of time down there!
WOW! That almost looks like an outdoor store or a museum... :) Thanks for sharing David!
Lol. It does! Thanks for watching
thanks for the vid! I wish I had some of those goodies! Now bring on the fishing gear room mess! yeehaw! We love messy fishing gear rooms!
You are very welcome Mark and I'm happy you liked it! Ah, I gotta clean the fishing room up before I show it!
You just saved my marriage!!! Lol 😂 great video and one hell of a gear room.
LOL! Im glad it helped and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
That gear room is AWESOME!!
Thanks Jerry!
Reallybigmonkey1
If you need to make room for more stuff I'd gladly accept donations.. lmao!!!
Jerrys WoodShop and Outdoors. hell yeah I wish I owned all that gear
agreed,this is awesome
You've proven to me beyond any doubt that this has been a life long passion for you. Well done.
Oh yes, this took years and years to get to this point!
I love your room. And I think I speak for everyone when I say, "We would love to see the fishing room!"
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I gotta clean up the fishing room first, it's a dump.
Wait, there's a fishing room???
Wow, disorganised Dave now really organised, outstanding!
You have almost "almost" as much gear as I had in the store when I was Company Quartermaster Sergeant in the TA (like national guard) the only thing that I had extra was 60 sets of 24 hour MREs.
I was out to lunch yesterday with my best mate, Paddy (who I have camped with many times) and I was telling him how much I enjoyed your videos. I told him about your shovaxe invention and it was nice to see it again.
Man I got so sick of just piles of clothes and gear every where. Its finally how I want it. I do need more MREs now that you mentioned it! LOL. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Wow super awesome survival man cave. Super organized nice and neat. I bet you've had some mice get into some of your stuff and make holes. Good idea on hanging the sleeping bags. I would think it would make it harder for them to want to make a home in hanging stuff. You can buy at garage sales clothing racks, even some that spin circular racks all kinds of designs. I guess you don't have a musty basement or you would not want to store much material in it if you did. I'm impressed just how neat and organized it all is. Great job on organization. Better late then never. You have enough to equip to supply immediate family and cousins if the shit hits the fan, and replacements for when they wear out. Now all you need is a place to store dehydrated food and water. Then you're set with piece of mind to complete the man cave survival/camping equipment. Great job in how you designed the shelves to organize it all. I love, love the axe design. Is it your own axe hanging cabinet design with two small blocks to hold each?
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I had mice in the past but luckily they never damaged anything. Yes, its got heat and air down there like the rest of the house so no problem with dampness. Funny you mentioned outfitting others, not only is this gear for myself and Nick but whenever my Dad or brother comes along I outfit them from this room too. Yes, I designed that axe cabinet. Them little blocks just have a U groove cut in them and the axe rests in the groove. Thanks for watching
Getting organized is just a joy. Everything at your fingertips and a staging area to work to prepare for any outing. Great job!
Oh absolutely! Nothing beats being able to actually find stuff! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Man! Now that's definitely an ultimate man cave! You have some really cool stuff and you have it organized really well too. Thanks for sharing Dave! You may have just motivated me to get my gear organized.
Thanks man and it's great to hear I motivated you. Planning and packing for trips will be so much easier with your gear organized
I had to smile when you said the camo wasn't work clothes because that's what my husband wears to work every day.
I like shopping for camping gear at the surplus store, it may not be cutting edge or state of the art gear but it's durable and efficient and that's really all I require. The hardest part of shopping there is not buying all the things ;D
LOL. Well honestly I would like to wear camo to work but them side pockets would snag on stuff and probably get sparks or metal chips in them. I hear ya on buying gear. I can go into Coleman or REI and want it all!
Organization personified! We are spirit twins when it comes to gear. We have different gear but the same passion. So awe inspiring!
Thanks Carol! I love being able to find stuff no matter if its the gear room, the shop or even a closet! Lol
With ALL THAT GEAR to choose from and keep organized, it is amazing that you have time to get out in the woods.
LOL. Ah well, it allows me and Nick to use different gear for each trip, season or location.
There is someone in the world for us gear nuts to look up to, and blame our obsession on. Thanks for showing us how little we really have, and how far we have to go..
LOL! You can never have too much gear Paul! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
"There is no such a thing as too much gear, only too little storage space." - unknown compulsive hoarder :)
Looks lot like mine, except yours are organized.
I like that saying!
I used 2 hv a lotta "stuff" till i lost my house, down sized 2 a 10'×10' storage unit, sure put de brakes on "stuff"....
LOL! Maybe not hoarder.....Valuable utilities if certain situations come. Clothing is paramount.
Oh my..... my wife is used to my stuff, and my mess... finally. The person I really need to show this video to is the guy that operates our Army/Navy store in town. You have more canteens and coats in your gear room than he does in the entire store! He should take a lesson from you on how to stock a store😉
Nice job on the room Dave. I especially like the axe rack!
Thanks Chris! I'm glad you liked it. Man I bet it could give a few ideas to someone running a store. A room or store has to make you wanna buy buy buy! Thanks for watching
Wow the gear room is incredible !! It’s like a camping store. I would love to have you choose 1 item from each category to make a complete kit. I realize a lot of the items have individual uses but if you could only pick 1 item , what would be your preferred !! You would have to knock a wall down to display everything !! Poor Nick only has 2 little boxes !! Yes you need to do several spin off videos just from this one. No rest for you !! Thank you for your time spent on videos for us !!
Thanks Pam! I'm glad you liked it that much. Choosing one item from each category would be tough for me because I choose gear depending on length of trip, season, temp, climate , terrain or location like woods, mountains, cliff areas, swamps or wetlands. Nick and I share all this gear, that little corner is just his stuff he wont share. LOL. Thanks for watching
I love the stories that explain why this stuff is ALL necessary, even the junk. I’m with you 100%. You never know what you’ll need and it might not be available. Gear in coolers hides your stuff too. Good organization.
I'm glad you liked it. Never throw anything away! Thanks for watching
"30 years collecting stuff I don't need" Brilliant LOL. You may have just saved my marriage! Great vid bud .. Some great kit too. 👍🐺
LOL! Im happy it helped out and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Your the first person other than myself who I have heard who has stressed the importance of a staging area Dave, It's an essential part of any workspace.
Absolutely! That's the best way of making sure everything you need is packed.
Love this setup. It's very similar to a restaurant kitchen. It's an extremely efficient way to organize and Stage when all you have to do is turn around and set it down
Thanks Brother! It's a breeze to find stuff in there
You have done a fantastic job with your gear room. It's more presentation quality than many surplus stores I've been to. Man, that is guy-heaven! You're right, my wife would appreciate that I haven't got nearly as much. But she would get even madder that my stuff isn't so well organized, so I will go to great lengths to ensure she never sees this. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks C.M! Man I just got so sick of not being able to find anything. I should have done this years ago! Thanks for watching brother
I think many a viewer would like to see an outdoor clothing video, showing the different camos, what brands you have used and liked, what has lasted, what is junk, etc.... Keep up the good work!
I probably will do that!
Seriously impressive gear collection! Wow! And you’ve motivated me to organize my stuff better, a task that seems much less daunting now. I like your staging table idea too. Much smarter and more efficient than my current random method.
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it. Then staging tables are a lifesaver!
Man that is a great collection of gear!
Thank you Dave for sharing with us. I am really enjoying your videos, very informative and entertaining. Just awesome!
Thanks Chris! I'm happy you liked it and I'm always happy to share brother
OUTSTANDING, What a job to organize all your gear. Looks fantastic. Really looking forward to the future vids on your break down of cooking,fire starting , misc equipment,etc. Thanks brother
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Ill be working on them other vids soon. Thanks for watching
Wow, your gear room is awesome, it's a true man cave, great to see how organised you are. Thanks for another great vid Dave
Thanks Mike, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Brother
Holy cow!!! We finally get to see the gear room??!! LOL. We’ve been asking about that forever. It’s like a TH-cam Christmas!!
Very cool. 👍
LOL, yep. And here it is!
It was fun getting to see gear you haven't mentioned or used in a while. Now your so organized it should make getting ready for trips faster. Enjoyed the tour it was like taking a walk thru bass pro shop camping section on steroids. GOD BLESS your wife for being so supportive. Can't wait till next time J.R. from Bama
It was a blast for me digging all this stuff out during the remodel. Lots of memories. LOL, Bass Pro on steroids! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Awesome place to store gear and stage it for outings. You have done a wonderful job Dave. You are the man!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Well done! - Or should I say "was about time ... 30 Years, dude?" - you look proud and you should be!
And I bet every single piece has it's own memory and story with it - I wish I could hear them all on a cozy day at a campfire.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Oh yes, very proud! That room slowly looked like a garbage dump with gear and clothes piled everywhere! And yes, lots of stories with the older gear. Thanks for watching
How about sitting around with the cats ("meow" from mine to Hebert) and one item a month for some story time ... pleeeeeaaaaaase?
LOL. I could come up with a story from a lot of items. I just don't know if it would get boring or not.
If you don't try, we'll never know.
I liked the e.g. "5 Adventures challenge" (watched all tagged ones too) and when someone tells something "real" it's always worth for me to listen, even when it is "between the scenes" in all this "educating" videos. Maybe add a story to a "regular" video for the start?
One word: “Whoa!” 😲 ..........Maybe two: “Awesome!” 🤩
LOL, Thanks!
Man I am envious ,you have got it going on and organized. I love axes and knives. I wished I had half of what you have.
Thanks David! Man it was a long road to get here. I started buying and collecting when I turned 20. I'm 54 now so it adds up! Thanks for watching brother
Love all the organization. Glad you finally waterproofed the space so you can enjoy seeing your stockpile and find what you want.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. The remodel and especially the water proofing was way overdue.Thanks for watching
Great to see the finished room! Will look like an armoury, to anyone who does not know you. But a true enthusiastic woodsman's gear room
Thanks Mark! LOL, I guess it does look a little like an armory with all the military surplus stuff.
Reallybigmonkey1 it looks nothing like the Armory I haven't seen one gun yet. Although it is awesome great space love what you do. Very grateful for the knowledge that you share God bless you man
One great thing about having a lot of equipment is that if you want to invite a friend that didn't have a lot of stuff, you could help outfit them so they'd be a little more comfortable. ... Nick maybe be giving you grandkids someday, you never know... Grandpa... All that equipment will be a legacy! ❤🌅🌵
That's true! And funny you mentioned it, not only does this gear outfit me and Nick but when my Dad or brother go I outfit them too out of this room
oh my ,a mans emporium of outstanding usefulness for being at one with nature . you channel has inspired and kept me smiling and entertained for time now and you just keep on giving , as you are a man of many skills i would like to see yours and little dave`s version of a little cabin type hut in the back yard . im sure your night time fires and chats will be a great benefit to us all , all the best from the UK Dave.
Thanks Brian! I'm happy you've liked all the videos and what all I do. I've been wanting to do a small cabin for years now. Just don't have the location
Wow, really love the gear room David. I can now understand why it took so much organising. Thanks for showing it to us!
Kind regards from London, England.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Michael. Yep, it took a lot of work to get it looking like this. Thanks for watching
David,
Your ability to organize has surpassed so many peoples wildest expectations! Your passion and respect for your gear have inspired me to clean up what I have been blessed with and enjoy the gifts and supplies I have to use and share with others. Your sincerity hits # 1 in my book! There is no doubt that your life and passion is the outdoors. Never stop doing what you love! You are real and unique... like I've said before...a breath of fresh air!
Thanks Karen, I'm glad you liked it and how I do things! Ive lived in this house for 18 years and this room started to become a mess 10 years ago. My motivation was being sick of not being able to find anything! In the future I hope to do this to my sewing room, fishing room and shop. Thanks for watching
As a southerner I have to say, “Bless your heart!” And I’m already planning my next buying trip to my supplier!
Thanks for showing us your great stuff.
LOL, Ive heard that before! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Terry
I love your gear-cave. You have a great personality and that makes your videos not only informative but entertaining at the same time. My wife even likes to watch your videos and she is not into camping, hiking or bushcraft. I believe in time you will help convert her to "the club".... Thanks for all of the great information you share on your channel and for bringing your audience into you personal life. God Bless
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and even happier both of you like the videos! Thanks for watching and may God bless y'all too!
Amazing video, Dave! You're an inspiration. Thank you for sharing great ideas on organizing and caring for gear and clothing. We love your videos.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and the videos! Thanks for watching
In my ranks one of my names is Captain Overkill!
But after seeing this I’m not worthy. The name is yours. 😬👍👍
Lol!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I invited my wife to watch this video and you are correct, she thinks I may not be as crazy as previously thought. I too have a lot of gear especially since I am involved with various sports i.e. scuba diving, canoeing, kayaking, camping, fishing, shooting, etc., etc., etc! I am drawing up plans to build a barn and my hope is to have a room like yours where I can organize my gear properly. While watching your video and thinking of my own gear and storage problems, it was evident you spent a great deal of time organizing your equipment. Some day.................if I live long enough..........I too will be organized!
Great video, Thanks again!
Im happy the video helped my friend! Sounds like you might have more gear than me! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
You bought just anything imaginary you could lay your hands on. My latest addiction is knives and kitchen stuff. I now have the beginning of a bushcraft chest with a Fox kukri machete. Great video. Thanks!
This is what 33 years of collecting looks like. Lol. I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for watching
We really love your room you did a great job! We love watching you and Nick. I've learned a lot from watching you. Thank you and keep them coming. Love y'all
Thank you Teresa! I'm happy y'all liked it and have learned from us!
Man cave heaven and my ole lady thinks i have a gear problem lol.🤘🤘👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. LOL, show her this video and she will agree you don't!
Thanks big nose and flat head, what you guys inspired and the knowledge passed on to Dave is now being appreciated by many!
How true. If it weren't for them two guys I may not have ever set foot in the woods!
For many years I've been dropping by. Great kit always. ATVB you an yours. God bless Andy
Thank you Brother Andy! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
You are waaaaay more organized than I am. Very cool and thanks for FINALLY showing it.
Thanks Steve! Actually, I wasn't organized at all in the past. I'm trying to turn over a new leaf! Lol. Thanks for watching brother
WOW !!! your a mad man Dave... love it :)
Thanks Brother!
Dave that is what you call a man cave have been waiting some time to see it , and at last you getting organised because there is nothing worse than knowing you have something and when you want it can’t find . Thank you for putting this up and looking foreword to your next video ps hope it’s some cooking.☕️☕️🌮🍗🔥 A T B J
Thanks J S , I'm glad you liked it. Ah man was it ever horrible trying to find stuff! There was piles of clothes gear and rope and paracord all over the floor. I didn't know where half my stuff even was! As soon as the fire ban is over I have a long list of cooking videos!Thanks for watching
Im jealous Dave, thank you for finally showing us your gear room. I really enjoy seeing all your home made gear. GREAT video my freind, thank you again.
Thanks Dave! I'm happy you liked it brother
Man, looking at this gear room makes me envious. And the dakota tent! LOL
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it All!
That gear room is AWESOME!!! I thought I had alot of gear. (not even close). You sure have some great equipment- store bought and home made. i really like how you keep everything organized. Even in a "show it" video you still managed to give me some good ideas and info... see you in the next video!
Thanks Curt! I'm happy you liked it all .Thanks for watching brother
You have your very own army surplus store.great video, Dave.
Aint it just the neatest thing? I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I was just telling my wife I haven't checked you out in awhile, and there you are at the top of my feed. Awesome!
Perfect timing! Thanks for watching Mathew
I have been looking forward to this video... as the main thing I enjoy about your channel is your
prowess of collecting and organizing gear. lol... never enough space and room to display and
organize properly. If he who dies with the most bushcraft gear wins... you win!!! lol TFS Dave
A lot of folks have been asking for this one, and I'm glad you liked it. Its just pure luck to have such a big basement! Thanks for watching
I've waited for this video for years , probably like most of your subs man :)
What an amazing place , it's like a dream come true , hope one day I will clean up my junk and organize it as well or it is getting out of hands , lol
Enjoyed it very much man , soon you'll need a second room I guess.
Take care
Nick
Lots of requests to see it over the years brother! I literally got sick of digging through piles and piles of clothes, gear grills paracord boots. It was time for a clean up. Oh, I do have a second room full of fishing gear! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Really nice job Dave. Very impressive. I thought I had a lot of outdoor gear! I only wish my inventory of Jeep parts squirreled away was so neat. Maybe use this as an inspiration.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Jake. Brother organize them jeep parts. Ya gotta be able to see what you have and don't have. Thanks for watching
You did amazing work of organizing all of that! You ROCK! I really enjoy your videos, and they always give me, at least three good chuckles. Thank you.
Thank you Paula!
All i can say is AWESOME! great room and storage system. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Hey david!!!! I just now found your videos man this is by far the best channel!!!!! I live in Brunswick Georgia so I know I can't be that far from you!!!!! Awesome room
Thanks Jerry, I'm glad you like my channel so much! Im in the Northwestern tip of Georgia. Ive been to Brunswick once, nice place! I ate at a fantastic place on Glynn ave. but cant remember the name of it. Thanks for watching
I feel like I have just taken a tour of a survivalists museum... are we supposed to leave a donation in the box by the door? Dave, 30 years of gear... you are one talented packrat. I would know because it takes one to know one. I just wish all my collections were more like yours. In all seriousness this video has reminded me that many of your self made inventions could be huge hits in the outdoorsmen market. You really have a talent for coming up with some brilliant ideas. If you every decide to have a yard sale let me know before it happens so I can have a first shot at everything. Thank you sir for sharing it really was amazing to see everything in an organized setting!
LOL! Well I guess after 30 years of collecting it is like a museum of Dave! I bet a lot of my homemade stuff would sell but right now the entire market is flooded with so much outdoor junk I have no idea what kinda volume of sales it would generate. If the day come to ever sell this stuff I'll probably let every one know on TH-cam. I'm glad you liked it all brother, Thanks for watching
Truly amazing collection of stuff you love! It's mind-blowing! Keep enjoying your life, and thanks for sharing. This is inspirational.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all! Thanks for watching
My compliments for the hard earned work for the gear room and for the video. Thank you VERY much for sharing.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It was a very hard two months of remodeling! Thanks for watching
Awesome gear room.
Thanks Shannon!
Love, love, love your room! Although, it's not quite an ultimate man cave until you get your couches and chairs out from under the stuff and available to use. A man needs a place to stretch out amongst his equipment and just take in the magnificence of it all and then maybe drift off to sleep for a well deserved nap, planning his next trip. With love ❤ from sunny 🌅 Arizona 🌵.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Suzi. Good idea! I need to find a place for the boxes first. Maybe scoot em out add a coffee pot and tray for doughnuts and a DVD player for Rambo movies! Thanks for watching
Reallybigmonkey1, truth is some of the boxes you showed us were only 3/4 full. I bet if you did some repacking, you could get that couch cleared off. My only question is where would you put the big screen tv/dvd so you can watch those Rambo movies?... P.s. as much time as you spend down there I'm surprised you don't already have a percolator and box of donuts already set up. 😉
Some boxes are packed full and some are low. I'll eventually go through all of them and consolidate. I actually don't spend much time down, I am usually at work or in my shop
Amazing. I'm glad I'm not alone in collecting.
You have done a great job sorting it out.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and no you aint alone brother! Thanks for watching
Just amazing! Thank you, watching this gear video makes me feel better about my extensive knife collection.
Thanks Jimmy, I'm glad you liked it. One can never have too many knives! Thanks for watching brother
That's an Awesome place.
Excellent. 👍😎🇱🇷🍻
Thank you Kelly!
Brother what you have there is an army surplus store! Love it! Wish I was that organized.
Thanks Brother Jim! Man its great to be able to find every thing
Hi Dave, this is great! Really loved how you talked through how you sorted and organized things... I think that's the magic here, not the gear itself. Great inspiration to organize my stuff!
Thank you my friend! I figure any gear is better when it's organized and easy to find
Great room great gear Well organized Dre videos I enjoy your down home presentation backed up by experience and facts
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the room and how I do things! Thanks for watching
Freaking awesome brother good job!
Thanks Brother Mike!
Holy cow, Dave! I was only about 5 minutes in when two questions came to mind and hung there to the end: When does this store open, and are you taking pre-orders? That ain't no man cave, dude, it's a man cavern! ;^)
LOL! Brother nothing is for sale just yet! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Talk about being prepared! lol Love how you organized the Gear Room. Thanks so much for sharing.
" Luck favors the prepared!" I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I love all the racks you've made. One thing about having everything in sight is that you're less likely to buy duplicates. Once you get things a little more fined tuned (organizing your equipment is great for rainy days or evenings), consider using plastic tubs instead of cardboard boxes. I have the clear plastics ones so I can kind of see what's inside, but I can also see the list of things through the plastic. They are not as heavy duty as the opaque ones, or even the coolers, but after a while you get to know about where each box is and being semi-transparent, you get good at grabbing the right one. Although the tubs are waterproof and stackable, I would still make a rack or shelving unit for them making it easier to pull out... As you know, the one you want is always on the bottom if you have them stacked 4 high, shifting tubs can get old real fast. And the weight can deform the lids of the lower ones. Watch for sales and get a few at a time. The colors of the lids change from year to year so if you want to color code you boxes, bite the bullet and get all you need at once... cause that color probably won't come around again. ❤🌅🌵
Thanks, I'm glad you like them Suzi. Good idea on the plastic bins. We have all our Halloween and Christmas stuff in bins. I just got so used to cardboard boxes over the years I never changed.
Reallybigmonkey1, the only reason I suggested the plastic bins is because the transparency really makes a difference and because you mentioned that the basement floods. A cardboard box can draw moisture from a wet wooden shelf whilst a plastic bin will stay nice and dry. 💜🌞🌵
Ahhhhhhh ok. Guess I'm not as gear heavy as I thought. It's ok, I ain't dead yet, lookout amazon here I come.
LOL! Get to buying more brother!
I got a gear room/man cave too mine is 20'x30' and full of mil surplus and hiking/camping/survival/ assault weapons gear. But yours has a better lay out and organization than I have. Its amazing how simular out collections are. P.s. I just subscribed
Thats awesome Frank! I love hearing from like minded folks. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching
We always enjoy your gear room as a background. Very cool to see it all organized. I have purged my gear many times over the years or my garage would look much like that but much less organized.
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. Believe it or not? I did purge almost half my gear before the remodel! Thanks for watching
That is amazing it looks like a army navy surplus store in so jealous. Thanks for the tour .appreciate all you do !!!
Its a surplus man cave paradise! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Its just. " f______ awesome dave "
