The most important thing about this video is my wife doesn't think that I have too much stuff now after seeing all your goodies, the bad part is she asked me why I can't keep my stuff put away like that 😜
@@simonablokeinthewoods Storage is a drag ...Now I know wy wimmen or nagging..I need organisation out of her site !!huhuu !!Don't let them in whatever they say ..
Jeez, it’s quite a large collection and this kit is bloody expensive nowadays. Makes it a bit daunting to get out there. I’m just procrastinating over a lightweight chair. And I need two of everything as I go with my son. Thanks to Simon’s overnight canoe trip off Hickling broad I spotted him using a Kamui chair which I think if Simon,s using it , it must be good. My biggest problem here in Norfolk is where to wildcamp. I’d so like to get permission but where do you start ?
I put three 7- shelf units in my spare room and filled them. I was thinking that I should cull down the collection but now I can see that I just need more shelves! Thanks Simon!
HA, HA! I LOVE THIS! My wife has often complained about how much outdoor, camping, bushcraft, canoeing, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking kit I have. Then I showed her this video. What I own would fit in a quarter of your kit room. You've made me look positively spartan! Cheers.
Thanks for this Simon. I’ve told my partner that I need more kit and now I have video evidence that I do need more. Great video as usual. All the best. Keep them coming.
Simon, such a great video. Sharing your system and how you use it, is the sort of information that I have rarely seen shared. You also prove that being organised is the way to be. Thanks.
The timing of this video is absolutely brilliant! I just purchased an 8x10 foot shed yesterday for this exact purpose. Thank you so much for the useful info. I'll definitely be borrowing a few of your ideas
One of those net jungle hammocks works well for storage of sleeping padsand or sleeping bags. Its a nice way to get things up and out of the way without shelves. You can dry things on them as well. Great video, thx for sharing.
I've found Christmas tree bags to be pretty good to hold those large tents. Basically a ton of room where you don't have to roll perfectly, and has handles.
Just watched you first video from Jan 2017. You and Mags look just a little younger back then. 5 years now I've been enjoying going to the woods with you and Mags. Such a wonderful journey. Again, thanks for bringing us along and rub Mags eyes for us all.
Thank you Simon, this has helped my marriage: I watched this with my wife, who made the comment ‘God, he’s got a lot of crap hasn’t he?’ - to which I was able to reply, ‘You see? You see how lucky you are?’ 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Simon, us mere mortals can only dream of such a man cave, and some great tips! (Give my best wishes to Mrs In the Woods btw!)
Simon, love the videos. For the mouse problems, you can try a few drops of peppermint oil on a cotton ball. Mice hate the smell of peppermint, it might keep them out of your kit. Just leave a few of those peppermint cotton balls around your building. It should help with the mice, but might make your equipment a little aromatic.
Enjoyed watching, Simon. The closer I get to retirement, the more gear I'm accumulating in readiness for some wild camping, so this video was really well-timed. At the moment, the gear is strewn all over the place in 2 bedrooms, much to my wife's annoyance! Have to say, your shed is a lot better stocked that some of the shops I've been into.
I have had mouse problems in my attic in the house. I like the barrel storage idea. I like your way of thinking on the shelf and boxes too. Thanks for the video.
I'm grateful for your going through all this kit over the years, as it's helped me find my essential kit list, without having to aquire as much. What first attracted me to your channel years ago were your videos where you packed everything you needed in a single German rucksack or hip pack. I have one of my own now and can set it up for a day hike kitchen and meal, water for 4, tarp, seat, etc. And with quick tuning can adjust it for a smaller trip, or hammock overnight. But to zero in on the essential kit, I've had to aquire a little more to find exactly the kit I like the best, but nowhere near as much as would have been needed without your videos.
Very organized. I love how everything has it's place. Especially the cooking items. You can just grab what you need for each individual trip without having to dig around or search for things. Nicely done 💕
Envy level is off the scale here! I've got my stuff strung between my apartment, an RV (caravan to you), and one large self-storage unit and one smaller one. Trying to get it all consolidated into two spaces so that all my backpacking stuff is in my apartment, right to hand, and all the camping stuff will be either in the back of my truck, or in a mid-sized storage unit. Thanks for giving us a tour Simon!
I'm not sure what's more exciting - seeing this or seeing someone's sewing set up. Both equally exciting actually!! I loved this video!!! Your stuff is so well organized! And I thought I did a good job last weekend with my new Wham boxes and my sewing threads......The intro music made me laugh - here he is, opening the door, and - WOW! Impressive! And a new sewing machine - a bit different to the Jones you used for your baker tent!
a fair bit o kit! nice collection of pots and pans and coffee makers you have there Simon, it just goes to show, you can never say you have enough kit, some good storage tips too, as ever a great video
My word that is a lifetimes worth of gear. All very useful. I hang my stuff up in my conservatory (much to my fiancés disgust sometimes, or in the summer in the garage. I have watched your videos for years and seen lots of gear, but my word you have loads. All very well used too 👌🏻
😂😂😂😂 found this video a little late, but still right in time!! As we are going to have a 5000kwh Solar installed to our roof, my wife has been to our attic may be the first time in years…. Over the years I stored all kind of outdoor equipment I bought for different occasions. Well… let’s say it that way… it was a little more than she expected it to be 😏 Showing her this video saved me from a lot of discussion’s 😉😉😉
OMG. Imagine having so much gear you have to sort and store it. I'm 45yo and currently selling my backpack so I can afford 50% of the cost to upgrade to a new pack. And people think we Americans are spoiled LOL. I do love the sea chest/vintage style trunks. Super cool.
Hi simon, 10-May-2022: Congratulations to your 150k landmark! Celebrate it and you have earned it! I enjoy every single moment with your stories out in the woods! Cheers from CH, Steve
I like the way you drag stuff in and out, drop your boxes on the ground and stuff things inside your containers. These are skills I must develop if I am to become a real bush-crafter!
My husband who is NOT a camper has always questioned me as to why I need different bits of camping equipment. He just doesn't get it. I loved seeing all your kit as I definitely know that I am not the only camper who has more than one tent, more than one cooking system etc. etc. I love your setup, I do have a cupboard I keep the smaller stuff in but also have some space in hubby's shed. Thanks for showing us how you do it. 😀
An organized work/equipment shed means an organized mind. I’m not surprised. Terrific ideas and much appreciated. Mouse traps work too. Just moved from Texas to Kentucky.
Why do I have a suspicion there may be some outdoor types experiencing symptoms of jealousy right about now? Thank you Simon for the tour and motivation to upgrade our storage procedure.
Wow. For a man your very organized. So proud of you. Very lucky to have a shed to store it all in, but every man need a shed of his own. For our 28th anniversary I bought my hubby a 12 X 16 shed to put all his tools and lawn things in. Looks like a barn and has the double door drive in . He loved that thing..lol...anywho...thanks for the info, didn't know you weren't suppose to keep your sleeping bags rolled up. Mine must be dead then. Oh well...Thanks for sharing young man. Hope Mags I'd doing okay. Stay safe and Take Care. 👍
Appreciate the video as I was setting up a gear area today. Timing is everything. Had to abandon using various closets as I was losing track of gear. Knowing you have a piece of kit is annoying if you can’t find it easily. Thanks
A man having a gear room is a fundamental human right. Yours is similar to mine. But a bit bigger, and more organised, and you have electricity, and more stuff.
I’ve been to bushcraft shops with less kit than this. They were also nowhere near as tidy or well organised! Great collection Simon, thanks for sharing.
Big fan of all the videos Simon! Loving them, I must say you're organisation skills are truly impressive! Fair play to you, I am jealous of all that quality kit you have! 👌
Cool stuff. Mice they are my least favorite mammal. Try putting dryer sheets spread around in your cubby holes and between any loose fabric canvas and so on. I have been using them now for 8 years and have not had any issues. A bonus they keep that musty smell away. Try it you will like it!
You are indeed fortunate to have your storage room ( which I love by the way). You are also fortunate to have all that equipment to store. I do like how you have everything so well organized. Good job. Thank you for your video.
Great video! Kudos to you for having this storage available! Love the way you created storage bins and shelves for organizing and storing your gear! It is visually easy to glance over and to find what you may need on any given trip! Cheers, mate!
The most important thing about this video is my wife doesn't think that I have too much stuff now after seeing all your goodies, the bad part is she asked me why I can't keep my stuff put away like that 😜

The most organised guy on RUclips and one of my top channels 👍👍🏴
Thank you!
This is just what I was looking for! Not a lot of outdoor content creators do their gear storage videos. Thanks Simon!
HA, HA! I LOVE THIS!
My wife has often complained about how much outdoor, camping, bushcraft, canoeing, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking kit I have.
Then I showed her this video.
What I own would fit in a quarter of your kit room. You've made me look positively spartan! Cheers.
Simon, you are the most organized Bloke in the World.
I need to do this with my yarn and tools. You've motivated me. Today's the day. The next couple months are probably the day, too.
Thanks for this Simon. I’ve told my partner that I need more kit and now I have video evidence that I do need more. Great video as usual. All the best. Keep them coming.
Your welcome 😂😉
Amazing, Simon! Now my husband is afraid I’m gonna do this with his gear…and he’ll never be able to find anything ever again! 😂

Happy to see Bill Gates getting into outdooring!
@@Brucey69
Well, Gates did buy up a bunch of farm land so...?? Lol
Glad it helped! 😁
Got to know Bill...does that shed comes with Windows?
@@tigerforge3517 sadly no windows, may have an apple or 2 in the future though 😉

What a great idea! Thank you for this suggestion I’m going to try this
Wow, so neat❗With the names on it as well 👌🏻
And you also leave your camping spot very tidy.
I love that. Nature is so vulnerable.
Wow 😮 that is definitely a store room

Now that's just given me an idea, I never thought of getting a larger shed to dry tents and other large items in
I have had mouse problems in my attic in the house. I like the barrel storage idea. I like your way of thinking on the shelf and boxes too. Thanks for the video.
Love it. We get the full range of vids from you Simon and we love them all. I think you narrating paint dry might still be somehow fascinating.

Awesome Simon! Thanks with each video I get a little more Green with envy. No pun intended…
Ha. Always wondered what the net bag was . Can’t believe I never clicked. I’ve just paused the vid to unpack my best sleeping bags. 😂👍
A man and his shed - love it !!!
Awesome video my wife and I always enjoy watching your videos
Why does it not surprise me that everything is so neat and tidy. Feel free to come and organise my house Simon. 😆😆😆

Your stuff is organized very well!! I take some ideas from my stuff.
You are not prepper, but you are prepared!!!
Very well organized Simon!!! Well done!

I admire your restraint.
Thank you , Simon .

Great! I love a good organized gear room.
You could outfit quite a base camp with that gear room! Very nice
An organized work/equipment shed means an organized mind. I’m not surprised. Terrific ideas and much appreciated. Mouse traps work too. Just moved from Texas to Kentucky.
Great video Simon. Wow you've got a lot of cool gear. Very well organized 😊👍✊🏕️
Love seeing your set up. The message is to look after your gear. Look after it and it will look after you. Quite right.
Oh. My. Starry eyed and turning green with envy here!
Thanks, Simon. Now I get an idea how to store the gear in my "adventure" campervan, 'Hercules'.
That's an insane amount of gear Simon. I'm going shopping with a clear conscience now 😂
Thank you, I learned a few things, You have a great and wonderful day.
Now that's what a call a man cave. Excellent tips....
Fascinating video, thanks Simon! That's a lot of kit!
Why do I have a suspicion there may be some outdoor types experiencing symptoms of jealousy right about now? Thank you Simon for the tour and motivation to upgrade our storage procedure.
I am inspired to clear out my old shed just for storage
Wow. For a man your very organized.

Mrs In The Woods is a certified saint!
Your storage room is bigger than my studio 😆, very cool 👍🤙🤙🤙
That's really nice set up, I didn't know about sleeping bag long term storage so I'll be sorting that on my next day off thanks for posting
Very good tips and ideas, thanks Simon. Cheers
From your videos I gathered you might be a perfectionist, now I am certain you are.
I am a perfectionist and can totally relate.
Great video Simon 👍. Full of handy tip and advice 😉
Wow, that's an impressive amount of kit! Nicely organised too.
Great video as always. Yes I'm definitely envious of your kit store. cheers
Proper Man cave that Simon! Every mans Fantasy!!
I'm jealous. You're so organized!
A guy after my own heart.
Awesome tips and logical advice.
All about basic maintenance 🙂
VERY impressive! I guess I should get to tidying and organizing... Best wishes, Juliane.
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the cast iron video.
Simon whether you admit it or not you have a Preppers paradise there!
Appreciate the video as I was setting up a gear area today. Timing is everything. Had to abandon using various closets as I was losing track of gear. Knowing you have a piece of kit is annoying if you can’t find it easily. Thanks
You have not only a mouse Problem, But also a gear/collecting Problem :D
Thanks for sharing! Different, But interesting, too!
A man having a gear room is a fundamental human right.
Yours is similar to mine.
But a bit bigger, and more organised, and you have electricity, and more stuff.
That's some serious gear Simon.
I’ve been to bushcraft shops with less kit than this. They were also nowhere near as tidy or well organised! Great collection Simon, thanks for sharing.

Cool setup Simon, especially the sewing machine. I must retrieve mine from storage and make some stuff!

Call me weird, but I love seeing organised shelves lol. Thanks Simon, very satisfying.
Thanks Simon was good to see how you store your gear. Get stuff 💯🤘🍺
I am always trying to improve my storage system. Thank you for sharing.
Yes! Thanks for sharing it gave me idea to use for storage boxes how to to store
