Notes |
|
|
| Trunk (recommended) or
Duffel Bag |
|
|
|
Trunk to fit at end of bed or
under. Does not have to be
lockable. Container store for trunks
or WalMart - See Hans Helgeson Link --> |
Hans Helgeson Says: The two best
options for summer camp are a large duffel bag $10 at REI or Sports Authority
or a trunk. I recommend a plastic
trunk with wheels because the moisture will not bother them, and they can be
dragged out of camp easily. The hold a lot of gear, and they protect it
well, even if rained on a little. They fit nicely at the end of the
bed, or under it and can be locked with a padlock |
