After taking momma to here truck for her work time (three days out), and after physical therapy on the ankle, I decided I should try to organize my soft plastics go bag...(an old CPAP machine bag). How I found anything at all is beyond me. All this was in the bag...Yep that black bag in the front row...
Need more divided storage boxes...aaaaargh!!!Attachment 407760

Yeah I had to get serious about my storage awhile back and bought several open compartment boxes. This allowed me to put some of the plastic bags in Plano boxes. I can now just switch out my 3600 size Plano boxes in my bag for whatever I think I need that day.
It is difficult to come up with a system for sure
Possibly an inventory control system for ones cellphone. Can tell you what box, column and row. That might actually work. Add in minimum inventory numbers and reminders to reorder.
I use 3 different old topless ice chests ,and 1 5 gallon bucket and a few brown boxes and about a herd of walmart bags .....
is it well organized you might ask ....nope not even slightly is the answer.....
the good news is it for sure an ever growing mound even if it don't get watered :Rofl
I like my fishing and hunting stuff highly organized so I can grab what I need at a moment’s notice. The problem is I’m the only person using it and it looks like a troop of monkeys has been playing it most of the time.
Wow, JD, that’s about as bad as it gets!:Rofl It doesn’t sound like you’re alone.

And Momma keeps asking, why you need all dat??? you can only use one at a time...:Rofl:Rofl, and I say, well if I loose dat 1, I got some more:biggrinQuote:

Easy to view the contents in bag and grab what you need.
Also nice when you accidentally dump the overstuffed main bag, easier to pick contents when bagged.:Rofl
Think of the bags as a file system.
This is how I do my jig tying stuff. Chenille, feathers grouped in Ziploc bags and then stored in my plastic cart. Originally got this idea from Skip and it works pretty well.Quote:

I have one wall that is just cabinets from floor to ceiling and only thing taken out of that wall is the hall leading away. All other walls are covered with desk, cabinets, book case full of jig heads and two tables end to end. Then under the tables are full of totes.
My wife keeps saying she would like to clean and organize it, but she doesn't know where to start, lol! Oh and these pictures are not new so it's even a little worse now, lol!

Just a few shots and this is not even showing the wall full of cabinets built in.

Fortunately mines not that bad yet. I am told if it does get that bad I better build a big dog house because that will be home lol. Momma really has no idea how much fishing stuff I have, but says I need to heal up quick because she wants some fish. I fortunately have a few more bags in the freezer. picked up a stern mount trolling motor off market place and can put my boat in some electric only lakes I found on the Missouri website thats not too far from home... Just need to get a bit more strength in that left ankle...Quote:

Actually I pulled it all out. Thats not counting what I have in the shed from some jig swaps we used to hold on here...Thats only plastics...I'm working on 600 hand tied jigs too...
Man, JamesDean's photo is awesome but the tying room is Super Fantastic too. Great photos thanks for posting them.
just the spare bedroom with a oversized DIY ARMY field table with a repurposed kitchen cabinet and an old kitchen table. Nothing special really. Made the table from memory but a bit larger. Company comes and all that goes out to the shed till company leaves...I would love to mount the cabinet to the wall sorta permanently but momma would throw me out to the shed...if momma ain't happy, I know I'm not...lol.
But Thank you for the compliments...

Well I will admit I have an adiction to collecting baits...lol
I just don't want to see you on an episode of Hoarders. ;)Quote:

I ask her if I can then "Organize" her spice storage cabinet. Usually neither gets done then. :hatchet: She keeps hinting so I told her we should just buy a new home somewhere with a storage shed like Snake River has only mine should have heat, lighting, and a/c. Her reply "In your dreams buster." Oh well. It was worth a try.Quote:
