organazation of equipment?

[lpcjon2]

Well as I prepare to start the packing process for my move to Georgia in a month and a half, I have come across a ton of hunting equipment I didn't remember I had. So as I look around and scratch my head and wondered as to why I didn't remember that I hid/placed out of sight so much gear(broadheads,shafts, ect.) around the house. I wondered what your organizational method was for all your equipment.

For the everyday necessities I use a good sized fishing tackle box.  This gives me trays for field tips, broadheads, inserts, nocks, etc.  Some of the trays are large enough for spare strings, silencers.  In the bottom there's room for bow square, nock pliers if you use the brass nocks, file, sharpening kit and even a single arrow fletching tool.  When I go on a hunting trip or to an archery shoot, I just grab the tackle box and know I've got everything in one place.  Recently saw another archer with a 'softsided bag' version of a tackle box filled with different sized plastic boxes with lids.  Good way to keep everything isolated and in place.

WELL---if it's not laying on the workbench or in a box, drawer, cup, turtle shell, quiver pocket, top of the freezer, top of gun cabnet, in gun cabnet in a drawer, box, tacle box. hanging on a deer or elk rack, stacked in the corner, outside on a bench by the door, in the tack shed, in the barn or floating around in my truck somewhere then i guess i didn't really need it after all.

oh ya it could be on my dresser or in one of it's drawers...that's where my wife puts the stuff i forgot i had!!!

NOt to redirect your thread, but if you don't want to haul all that to GAWGA, you could possibly donate some to the St. Jude's Auction.

One man's over-flow can be a breath of life to a life-limited child

Doc, rest assured whatever I don't need to take will be donated.

[GRINCH]

Yep that sounds about like mine,organized through chaos.

[Doc Nock]

Now, Killie....  

[WRV]

I would like to be able to say mine was up to the level of organized chaos........Randy

[bolong]

durp and I use the same system. Probably not the best.

[bowkevin]

I have a room in the basement with all my hunting stuff in it. My camo stays in a cedar chest, I have my gear in plastic totes in the closet marked for what season they are for(archery, rifle, turkey, etc.). My guns are in a safe, my bows are on racks. I have a gun cleaning box, a bow tackle box and everything stays pretty easy to find.

[LimBender]

I just won sole rights to the "office" / crap room and built a monster stand alone closet last night.     Apparently having my stuff all over the house and a lack of organization paid off.

[crotch horn]

I also use a soft sided tackle box for whatever fits in it. The things I really need to find when I need them. The rest, well, where ever my wife dumped it when she got sick of looking at it.

[Ragnarok Forge]

I am with bowkevin.  I have mine organized and easily findable.  I picked up several of the cardboard arrow holders our local archery shop was disposing of and keep my arrows in them in a closet.  Bow rack on the wall. Archery stuff in tackle boxes or tool boxes depending on size.  Hunting clothes hang in my walk in closet tuck away in the corner. etc.....  Quivers leaned up in the corner easy to reach.  When we head out to shoot, it takes us 2 minutes or less to grab what we need and head out.

dont get too organized or you will miss out on the joy of finding something again that you havent seen in years and forgot you had it. I just found a couple of bodkin broadheads in the bottom of a box of old books. I generally keep my archery, and hunting stuff in several plastic shoe boxes. It takes a 9 drawer wooden tool chest to hold my knives

[wtpops]

Organized !!! You mean to tell me there is actually a way to know where all my stuff is let alone what i actually have. Some one here needs to cough up with the info on this organized thingy  

[gobblegrunter]

I'm with Ragnarok and bowkevin. I have a work table in the basement which holds a fletching jig, a 3-drawer Flambeau fishing tackle box for all of the basics (various heads, field points, nocks, inserts, tools, glues, tapes, etc) and a tool box for larger tools. My bow and my son's bow, along with our quivers are on a verticle wall rack, and hunting clothing in plastic totes. It drives me NUTS to not know where everything is at!

Organization has always been a priority for me, I tried alphabetic, then numeric............. and after many years my system has evolved and been refined as my needs have changed

 

[Swamp Yankee]

..then there's the fishing tackle...

[frassettor]

I like to keep everything "neat and tidy".. Everything has a place.. I keep all of my knives, flashilghts, ect ..in the pull out plastic drawers.. Arrows in 1 spot, cloths in one spot.  Backpacks in one spot...you get the idea
