One bin for everything
Mixing tents, cookware, sleeping bags, and hygiene supplies into one bin makes every search a full unpack.
CAMPING GEAR STORAGE
Find your camping gear before the trip starts.
Totely helps you track tents, sleeping bags, camp cookware, lanterns, tarps, and outdoor gear by tote, shelf, garage zone, or storage location.
Before Totely
The camping gear problem
Camping gear gets packed away after the trip, mixed into bins, borrowed by family members, or split between the garage, closet, and car. When the next trip comes around, finding one missing lantern or tent stake turns into opening everything.

Heads up
Common storage mistakes
These are the patterns that make storage harder over time.
Relying on memory after the season
Camping gear that gets stored away for months rarely gets remembered in detail by the time you need it again.
No location note
Knowing what you own is only half the problem. If the tote moves between garage, car, and closet, a location note saves real time.
Skipping the update after a trip
Gear that was borrowed, lost, or used up stays on the list until you update it. A quick post-trip check keeps records accurate.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I organize camping gear in bins?
Group items by use — sleeping gear in one bin, cookware in another, shelter and tarps together. Number each bin, snap a photo, and let Totely's AI build the item list. Review and save the location so you can search naturally—"headlamp," "camp stove," or "rain tarp"—instead of opening every bin before a trip.
What camping gear should I track first?
Start with the items that cause the most searching before a trip. Tent stakes, headlamps, water filters, and camp stoves are small, easy to misplace, and often the last thing found during packing.
Can Totely help before a camping trip?
Yes. Once your gear is cataloged, you can search for any item and see which bin it is in and where that bin lives. That means you can make a packing list and pull everything before you start loading the car.
Can I update the tote after camping?
Yes. After each trip, update the record to reflect what was used, lost, or borrowed. Keeping records current takes a few minutes but saves much more time before the next trip.
Can I track gear stored in both a garage and a closet?
Yes. Each item or container record can include a location note. If your sleeping bags are in the hall closet and your camp stove is on a garage shelf, both locations are searchable.
Find your gear before the trip starts.
Give the tote a number, snap one photo, and let Totely do the item entry. Search for "camping light," "tent stakes," or "sleeping bag" before the next trip.
