Las Vegas is not only about gambling and walking the strip; there are plenty of outdoor activities where you can enjoy the desert scenery. The tough part about having so many options is making sure you know where all your gear is and that it stays in perfect condition so you can have fun as soon as possible. In the first two parts of this series on ideas for organizing your storage units in Las Vegas, we covered info on how to store electronics and clothing storage ideas. In this third and concluding post in the series, we’re sharing ideas for storing outdoor gear. Since it’s not every day you use your all-terrain vehicles or camping gear, the best place for storing these items is in a storage unit where it is not taking up valuable space in your home. Keeping everything organized and properly storing these items is what will make exploring your new city much more enjoyable. When thinking about exploring Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas, NV, make sure you know exactly where your hiking gear is and if it is in working condition. The easiest way to keep everything orderly in your storage unit is to organize it depending on the outdoor activity and what you use during this activity. For example, you will have all of your hiking gear in one tote and your fishing gear in another. Place all necessary items in a tote and label all sides with the name of the activity. This will ensure an easy find and lessen the possibility of things getting lost. Using a tote instead of a box will keep items undamaged by accidental drops. You can also have different colored totes to distinguish which one belongs to which family member. You can also organize and protect the camping gear you’ll need for your weekend at Lake Mead by labeling totes based on outdoor activity. We recommend labeling them depending on daily camping necessity. For example, all of the cooking equipment will be in one tote labeled “cooking” and all of the tent necessities in another labeled “tent”. Again do not forget to properly label all totes on each side just in case they’re not positioned where the label would normally be visible. Storing your all-terrain vehicles takes a little more preparation to not only ensure safety, but also upkeep. Your all terrain vehicles must have all their gas drained or their gas tank removed in order to safely store them—you are not allowed to store any hazardous or flammable material in storage units. Cleaning and covering your vehicle before storage will also assist with the upkeep. It will prevent dirt buildup and assist with maintaining the vehicle over time. Moving to a new city does not have to mean you are going to be stressed about every little thing, especially when you get tips from experts at US Storage Centers. Store your belongings with these helpful tips and it will be one less thing to worry about.
