    Lightbulb My Rolling Storage Locker for Backpacking/Hammock Gear

    I had been struggling with keeping my camping and kayaking gear organized and all in one place. With an idea in my head I built myself a huge rolling cabinet that can store all my gear in and I love it. I made a short but complete video of the locker and it's features and thought I would share it with you all here in the DIY section.

    While I know it isn't exactly DIY hammock gear, it is keeping my DIY hammock and tarp safe as well as my DIY materials.

    Here is the link in case you prefer to watch it on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9-Nwhvryn8



    Hope you enjoyed it and maybe got some ideas for your own gear storage.

    change the wheels to some chunky off road style ones and build a harness...then you don't ever have to leave a bit of gear at home...just strap on the harness and away you go!

    Looks good...as a cabinet/furniture maker, I like the drawer design...simplicity is often best. I might suggest using some sealer or paint... Bama humidity and unfinished ply don't agree Also, a bit of sanding to round out the drawer slide edges would reduce friction and prevent the ply from delaminating on the edges.

    gear storage is a big problem at my house,... theres certain things i dont want to store in the garage,... which results in 3-4 stoarage locations throughout the garage and house,... makes it frustrating and time consuming to pack,... your storage cabinet is awesome!
