    So how do I store all this stuff?

    Okay so I now have several tarps, quilts, bags, and suspension systems that I have to store when not in use. I know that items like the quilts and sleeping bags need to stored uncompressed to maintain loft. I have seen in the background of some of Shug's videos a rack system for those types of items. I do not have a tons of space so I was wondering if anyone else had some ideas on this or would be willing to share their setup for gear storage.
    I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

    Sounds like you need to go rent a storage locker! About 8x10 sounds right!!! You know you'll have way more before this sickness calms itself!!!

    I don't have a ton of room to hang everything up so like g2outdoors I have my quilts in bags. I bought two laundry bags from wally world and just have them sitting on the top shelf in my closet (nothing on top of them of course). I split the rest of my gear up by type. Things that won't degrade in the heat (tarp stakes, bear canister, wood stove, etc.) is in a big plastic bin in the garage. The rest of the stuff always seems to wander around the house.

    We purchased storage cabinets from sam's club made to organize your garage. Have 4 cabinets of camping equipment. They are tall metal ones and have caster wheels on them so they can roll around. Still have the plastic storage bins and some metal racks with camping equipment on them as well. After writing this... I have a lot of stuff!

    I have a few sets of Sterlite plastic drawer sets from any big box store. I've filled one closet with them to organize my gear. The down quilts live in cotton pillow cases on the top shelf.

    Quilts in closets, under beds would also work.
    Compressible items go nicely in hanging pockets like the canvas ones made as shoe or gear organizers.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    All of our camping gear is in plastic tubs with lids. That way we can stack them as high as we want without compressing bags or down jackets that need to be left uncompressed.
