Here are some pics of some of my gear. I have 5 of these black plastic tubs filled with various gear. These tubs are able to sit out in the rain or snow and not leak. Most of them are self contained units each with a balanced supply of gear. I have one dedicated to ammo. In other words, each container has knives, fire starting gear, fishing gear, gloves, water bladders, backpack, cooking supplies, crobar's or machetes or multi-tools etc. This way if I can only take one tub with me, I have a well rounded mix of supplies.

I just took one of my tubs up this weekend for an over nighter and it worked great. My 4 year old ended up proving once again that he is a tough little man hanging in there with temps in the high teens. My 7 year old complained quite a bit, but he ended up hanging pretty tough, not like I gave him a choice.
