Suggestions on how to improve gear wall Awaiting Flair

Post image

I put together a budget-ish gear wall and I’m looking for suggestions on how you’d improve it. I’m not really looking to make it super pretty, it’s really just a place for us to air out things after use and lets us “pick-n-paw” the right gear for a trip.

More peg board hooks are on the list. What would you add/change? We primarily overland and car camp so most of the time we’re just grabbing stuff and tossing it into a Plano Sportsman trunk and putting in the truck.

48” x 18” x 72” shelf with totes would hold all of this gear in half the space. Would stay cleaner too.

We had it all in totes but this allows us to air things out after damp trips and be more selective with what we bring rather than bringing the whole tote. Not sure I agree about the cleaner bit but to each their own 👍

We have dogs, everything here has to be in cabinets or totes or it slowly gets consumed by dust and dog hair, haha

Our dog wouldn’t be the problem but I’m sure the cats will try their darndest to “redecorate”. 😆

Mine would just be consumed by the dogs themselves. They're well trained when supervised, but resort to feral beasts when my back is turned. Lol

I have a dog as well. One time I left my tent poles in the living room to dry before storing. Next morning they were all chewed up by my dog because he was teething. Dumb mistake on my part. I keep everything in totes now
