    Thanks for coming out to the vid. This is where I post mostly b. this is where the audience has stayed. BTW this review would not exist without TNP Donors, please consider joining long term. I’m so dumb how I operate it I don’t even have TIER levels there; you can join for a freakin’ $1 per creation (only 6 charged per month btw). TNP Patreon is where the action is! www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy. Here's just some of the comments from TNP Patrons on this video that were previously posted by elite TNP Patrons:
    "Greg Malcom So practical and fun! 13h Jerome J been doing that for years, boxes, bags, labels. I bought my first labeler 10 years ago after seeing all your stuff labeled. Label boxes, bags, it's great indeed. Yes please, do a tool video. 1 13h Grayzone I never actually thought it was your influence until the first 60 seconds of this video, then the last 12 years made sense! My buddy and I are rolling on the floor replaying that intro and I haven’t gotten past that .. needless to say, thank you! 😆 13h Ben H. Haha awesome thumbnail! Will watch later! 13h Robert Avery Definitely looking forward to this one 👌 13h Leif52Pickup Step one: get a bunker in Wyoming ;-) 1 13h James Hood The pooh bear in that pic is priceless. I haven’t even started watching the video yet, and I’m already laughing 1 13h Christopher B. The colored electrical tape idea is so amazing. Nutn' should get a Nobel Prize for this. For me, each caliber gets its own color... descending in power from .308 - red, orange, yellow, green etc. 12h Bernal I check the free section in Craigslist every day, every day. Friday night, I checked at 3 AM and I scored a nice 5 shelved wire rack, a WHALEN 5 storage rack (still in the box), and a rollaway tool kart. My instinct told me not to hesitate. I mounted up my trailer mounted basket and left immediately. As I was loading, three more people showed up in vans. Ha ha 1 12h Kyle Zimmerman I just went through my stuff and reorganized maybe 2 months ago. It is amazing how much crap accumulates if you don't stay on top of it. I should do some labeling and maybe upgrade some of my containers, but apparently Nutn and I are both driven crazy by tons of clutter. 1 12h Todd Strelka Thanks for the organization tips. I need to improve in this area. It's crazy how much stuff we can accumulate when living in a home for nearly twenty years. My wife and I go through our stuff a couple times a year to organize and determine what we don't need anymore. The clear bins are a great idea. We've used the cardboard Avon boxes with lids for years since we got them for free from our neighbor. But the plastic bins hold up better to water if there is a flood. Thanks again for your hard work in TNP! 12h Joseph Brennan I suggest a battery daddy! They work great haha 11h Dawson Rabb Dude! What an epic thumbnail. That had me laughing so hard! 1 11h Joe Mack Dude I thought I was the only one who organized by piles! 10h Chris carr Good vid for the newbs, but you’ve been lecturing this to me for years hidden in the other vids. As a man slob, this system flat out works. Been using it for along time thanks to you and I’m actually organized. 10h Joe Mack The box spring is a great place to store the long flat bins 10h Joe Mack Nutn what about toys? Its obvious you stored the boys toys well. Bins also? 10h John Wachtmann I was just feeling stressed by my unorganized basement. Great timing for the video, Uncle Nutn. 10h Bernal =DEAL ALERT= SXP Defender $199 @ Botach! Just got one! 10h Christopher Miller Awesome vid, how do you store large back packs I.e, Kelty tioga and ultra tioga? 9h Clint Raby I am so very unorganized! I have bins, boxes, shelves, metal tins, ammo boxes, drawers, you name it I have craps stuffed everywhere. I think getting clear bins of the same size and type is great advice. Now if I can just follow this advice like I follow your other recommendations life will be even more enjoyable. Thanks Nutn! 9h Tim Brock I just did that with blackpowder 209m primers and Blackhorn 209 powder… couldn’t find it to save my life… rebought it… yea…. It was in a box (one of many) rhat go back and forth to the range… 8h Justin Matthew Golden "I get it and I'm to blame!" LOL 🤣 8h Tim Brock Dang Nuttin’…. Kinda felt like you were in my face, talkin to me! Like a one on one! Except I already have all the bins (more), label maker, stickers, the whole nine yards…. It’s the time! Dang son. We’ve adopted 3 little girls and I’m busy! At 51 years old! I’m feeling it! Love your content.. it’s the best background noise ever! Seriously, while reloading or doing whatever… the feature length stuff is awesome! 8h Riley Kaye I've been slowly organizing my stuff similarly to Nutn for the last two months. Here's a pic of my setup for my first aid shelf of any of you are interested! imgur.com/a/cjohXQS 1 7h david rockwell Clean and smart system in your picture. Medical needs to be readily available whenever feasible. 6h steve garrett my wife has some sort of sick gratification by just throwing shit out. it gives her a joy like few other things do. ironically my first wife was the same way. must be some sort of attraction I have, one thing I did learn from you about organization a long time ago was rolling clothing up. its great because you can get it out of a bag without unfolding it. 1 7h mauserwaffen 98 excellent video sir! Care to come over and organize my stash in the basement? I'll pay you in ammo and pizza... LOL 6h Patrick Richards Excellent video! I agree, very important and stress relieving to be organized. I have been procrastinating for years to do this. The Costco bins are good from my experience 6h The Nutnfancy Project Hello Patrick! Those Costco bins are pretty good. That's where I got those black/yellow larger bins. Watch out for LATCHING lids: the latches break off easy and make stacking and accessing underneath bins a real PITA. Costco does sell those too; I'll never get them again argh. 1 3h Boxed1n Those black and yellow bins towards the end are awesome. I utilize on overhead hanging system for them in the garage. 👍🏽👍🏽 6h david rockwell Much appreciation for the timely and fun production. Moving my dwellings after 21 years in same place this month. A well-intended organization system drifted off target over the years. You are correct, disorganization is a thief of one's energy. I am implementing a new system as items are loaded into truck. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication. 6h The Nutnfancy Project Hello David! Indeed it does sap our energy. All your ongoing organizational efforts will have reward of peace and an easier life. Thanks dude. 1 3h Ted Jahne The issue isn’t that I have too much shit and forget where it is. The issue is that my wife likes to move my shit around and then forgets where she puts it so it is then lost in the abyss forever. Probably somewhere near where all the socks from your dryer go. 1 6h Pat McGroin San diego on board. Im so organized i fell asleep to the sound of your antics. Always fun content. Game 4, Go Padres. 1 6h The Nutnfancy Project Ha ha...hello to San Diego! Glad you're organized, well done ;-) 1 3h Load reply Brievet This is very helpful. I have a bin system in-place but a labeler will take it to the next level. Parts-bins, like the battery bin, will also be a level-up. Under the bed portion was funny! Haha 1 5h The Nutnfancy Project Hello Brievet! Thanks for your support here, so grateful to all. Glad you liked that humor; I was laughing pretty good in post production too. 3h Murphy Had to get organized years ago when I started buying shit you reviewed. Mostly Rubbermaid bins and Xerox printer paper boxes. Everything labeled. Ammo all in ammo cans. Tool bags with multi pockets make good storage/organizers also. Semper Fi. 1 5h The Nutnfancy Project Well done Murphy! Sounds like a great system. A benefit of the plastic bins is they're waterproof and will withstand floods and will even float...the people in Tampa can attest. 3h Clint Allison Dude, early this summer, I found an entire SUITCASE full of scopes in my basement. 🙄🙄🙄 While finding a butt load of scopes is awesome.... I'm still a moron 🤣🤣🤣 5h The Nutnfancy Project LOL, HS a full suitcase. That's like pirate treasure. 3h Moe Mansour Outstanding video! I can't focus on nutn' when things are disorderly. Pun intended. Everything has to have a place. I've actually always thought of it as a weakness since it affects my productivity. Even data on hard drives needs to be organized. I find it distracts me all day. 4h The Nutnfancy Project Yep me too. The more organized and cleaned up I am the more productive I am. Weird I know but that's how I am too. 3h Matt I do very similar with a lot of my stuff but still need another round of boxes to finish organizing. I like the idea of buy a ton of bins to start and return some if you don’t need them. For mags and similar I also drop a dessecant in the bag to prevent rust. You’re like the tactical Marie Kondo. "

      LTC Nutnfancy: This video was right on time for me! I was JUST talking about those heavy mil plastic Ziploc baggies with my wife! I thought this was going to be a video about making food and water storage a priority, which it is, but as an adult with legit ADHD, organization has been a HUGE struggle for me! I just wish I had the money to devote to that much storage equipment (most expensive are good shelves!). I suppose this will have to be done in smaller increments due to financial restraints. We're also struggling with my oldest daughter who also has ADHD, but my mother has been working with her. If it were up to me, it would be a case of the blind leading the blind. My youngest daughter, in stark contrast, is VERY tidy and organized! Thanks for all the great tips! Going to share this with the wife to get her onboard as well!

    You can tell the difference in a good service tech just by seeing how they keep their vans. A good service tech has a squared away van where you can easily find tools and materials. Generally, people who are squared away and organized are typically more successful.

      I can speak with my entire life's experience on this. And the state of a tech's van, does not indicate his experience or his competency. A lot of factors go into it. Does the company pay for time to clean/organize it, or does he have time to clean/organize it?

    Quite frankly, I needed this. I'm a massive procrastinator and have kept putting this off and the problem has gotten worse, which makes me not want to do it even more. The idea of just making piles in a room will definitely make this go faster. I'm going to go get supplies tomorrow, then come Wednesday when I'm home alone I'm going to start tearing through everything. I need to make it a more organized mess before I can truly organize everything.

    @jo232409 2 года назад +1

    I'm already doing this. Have it all divided into sections of the house too.
    Another tip - for your Bug Out Kits, advice I got from a fire chief is to create a list of everything you need to bug out, based upon HOW LONG you have to bug out. It's very common that you might have pre-evacuation notices hour or days in advance. Other times you might have just 3 minutes. Other times you might have 15 minutes. You can pack A LOT more on your truck in those additional 12 minutes, so have a plan - group those things together if you can.
    As far as clear plastic bags - I don't buy them, I just save them. They add up when you're ordering gun parts, most come in a quality plastic bag.
    The other container to keep an eye out for is AMMO CANS. Occasionally you'll find some store doing a clearance on larger caliber (like 30mm, 80mm mortar) cans. The .50 cal cans are great too, but small. Use plastic ones for areas that are temperature controlled, use metal ones for areas like your basement, outdoors, etc. Large ammo cans are amazing.
    Last tip, if you live in a large city, go to a USED office furniture supplier. They often have commercial grade lockers, storage cabinets, shelves, etc. The commercial grade stuff is often bomb proof, and will outlast your lifetime. The used furniture suppliers are willing to barter and keep an eye for specialty stuff - so let them know "I'm looking for 10 feet of locking cabinets." I have some industrial racks that will last 500 years, 15 feet long, 8 feet high, 18 inches wide, it's all thick steel construction, totally adjustable, found on craiglist for $200.

I do maintenance on a few old rent houses so I have lots of odd fasteners, plumbing fittings, etc. If I get a phone call with a leak I can grab my box of appropriately sized fittings off the shelf and go fix it. I recently picked up a bunch of 12x18x3 steel boxes for my truck. They're basically little metal brief cases. I'm working on building a mounting rack for them to replace my extended cab back seat, but my plan is to have it where I can just grab my little case of tools for whichever thing I'm fixing. Before that I just had tool bags full of junk loose everywhere

    6:12 Your wife's dad's room is not that bad, it looks pretty organized to me (this was my first thought, haha). That being said, I think I have a good mag organization system. Instead of the baggies, I bought 99c walmart plastic pencil boxes. Each container is for one type of mag, which works for me bc I like to have at least 100 rounds of mags for each firearm. When I go to the range, I'll select the firearm and then grab the corresponding pencil box. I even load the mags before going to the range so I don't have to waste time at the range, and these pencil boxes are sturdy enough to hold loaded mags (though if you're not careful, they will open). I bought every color of the pencil boxes so that I could intuitively color code by caliber. Black is for 9mm, Blue (police) is for 40sw, Green (army) is for 45acp, Red (hot) is for 357sig and 357mag, Pink (weak) is for 380acp, and Orange (toy) is for 22lr. These pencil boxes are labeled with the same labelmaker, and I store these pencil boxes into separate bins by caliber.

    I'm a big advocate of milk crates for stuff that's either in a temperature controlled environment or stuff that's "durable" and doesnt care about the temp or humidity. I get em from Menards because they often go on sale. They suck for tiny things or huge things, but for organizing tackle boxes, scopes, silencers, "range kits" etc they're awesome. They're particularly awesome because they stack and have built in handles.

    Moved into a rental house and went from a closet to a spare room for storage! Did a similar method to this and it’s frickin awesome. I don’t have everything in closed top bins but baskets so it’s easier accessible. Great vid as always

    The shallow hefty bins are GOAT IMO. Deep enough for most common items, tough enough to survive ordinary use and you can't bury things so deep you can't find them

    wife and I have a small house, 780 square feet above ground with a full basement.
    We have major preps stored in the house. And musical instruments and art supplies. And room for visitors to sleep.
    Shelves man, shelves. And things hanging from floor joists and bins stacked 6 feet tall and so on.
    But it is all neat, organized and easily found.
    Oh, there's no kids in the house.

    Oh Yeah, this hits good... My Dad's whole house looked about the same as your father in laws office. When he passed me and the wife spend weeks sorting things to make sure we don't accidentally throw away important stuff. Weeks. It cost me thousands in disposal fees. I want to say probably close to 6k just for container after container (yes, container) of stuff to dispose of. It's wild. Definitely tainted the memory of my dad after sorting through literal garbage for weeks. I'm still mad as hell thinking about it.
    I've always been organized. Comes somewhat naturally to me. Growing up there is probably the reason why.

    In my experience, the clear bins are the worst for cracking. It's just the formulation of the plastic I think.
    The old style Rubbermaid bins were the most indestructible but the shape is horrible for anything but clothes.
    I have a mixture...
    large black bins with yellow lids from Costco (Stick with one manufacturer because they are different sizes).
    Larger clear file storage bins with flip top lids.
    Smaller clear bins for smaller stuff.
    I've had the worst luck with Sterlite brand. Even if the bin material is okay, the lids tend to crack.

    I remember I bought a Old Model Ruger Blackhawk in 357 it came with aftermarket grips and I had original set of factory black rubber grips for it at home and I could not find them and it took me over a year to finally find them and they look good on the gun but, that caused me to start organizing all my random gun parts.

    My organization method is a lockable tool storage thing (don't remember what they're called) with wheels. Each cabinet is labeled by what the items are such as "lighting", "knives", "holsters", etc. And in each cabinet they are again separated by manufacturer, model, etc. Not perfect but I always know where to find my things and they are relatively safe with it being lockable and made of metal.

    Alittle more high tech, but we just did this with our extra fire gear at the station. But instead of labels we got QR code stickers. Scan the code and you can see what is in the bin with pictures. So if we want a certain type of turnout coat or a specific radio model, we can find it without opening or unstacking any bins

  • @sethwashburn8368

    For adding color-coded labels to clear storage bins I use a Brother P-Touch Label maker with 1" (24mm) white label tape. First, I put down a strip of colored Tape (colored Duct Tape or, more preferably, 2" 3M 471 Vinyl Tape) and then I lay my P-Touch label centered over the top to create a nice, clean color-coded border around my bin labels.
    PRO TIP: use a cotton ball soaked with Isopropyl alcohol to clean and degrease the surface. Your tape will adhere much better.
