Be a Happy Camper

For many of us, fall is our last hurrah when it comes to camping. We'll make that last trek out to our favorite spot and then we'll pack up our gear until sometime in the spring. Proper storage is important to protect our gear until the next season. Items need to be cleaned and stored in a safe, bug and weather proof location.  It's also important that we know what we have, what condition it is in and where we've stored it.  Nothing makes for an unhappy camper like getting to the campsite and discovering that you've forgotten something or that the one you brought is unusable due to damage. If you've ever slept in a tent with holes or tried to use your jacket as a sleeping bag, you know what I'm talking about.

Often, the best places to store camping gear over the winter are out of sight, and not all that easily accessible. This can make it difficult to remember what items we have and what condition they are in. Stockpile fast easy inventory solution can help and the perfect time to implement it is while you are packing items up for storage.

As you  clean and store items, add records into Stockpile.  Because Stockpile fast easy inventory solution is fully customizable you include the fields that will hold the information you'd like to be able to access.  Maybe sleeping bag size is important to you, or type of fuel required for your camping stove.
