Camping, fishing, and hiking are some of the best ways to enjoy everything Arkansas has to offer. However, after every adventure, your gear needs proper care before it's put away. Dirt, moisture, UV rays, and changing weather conditions can shorten the life of expensive outdoor equipment if it isn't stored correctly. Whether you're putting away your gear for the season or simply making room at home, Modern Storage® offers clean, secure self-storage units to help keep your outdoor equipment organized, protected, and ready for your next trip.
Why Proper Storage Matters
Camping, fishing, and hiking equipment is designed for outdoor adventures, but long-term exposure to dirt, moisture, sunlight, and pests can reduce its lifespan. Proper storage helps protect your investment, keeps your gear organized, and ensures everything is ready for your next trip.
Clean Your Gear Before Putting It Away
Before storing any outdoor equipment, remove dirt, mud, sand, leaves, and moisture. Let everything dry completely to help prevent mold, mildew, odors, and rust during storage.

Should I clean my camping and fishing gear before storing it?
Yes, you should clean and completely dry all outdoor equipment before storing it. Even a small amount of moisture can lead to mildew, unpleasant odors, and damage over time. Remove dirt, mud, sand, and leaves, then let everything dry completely.
What's the best way to store tents and sleeping bags?
Use breathable storage bags for tents and sleeping bags rather than airtight containers. Before storing, wash your tents and rain flies, and air out sleeping bags completely to prevent mold and mildew.
How should I organize multiple types of outdoor equipment in storage?
Keep camping, fishing, and hiking equipment in separate labeled bins organized by activity. This makes packing for your next adventure faster and helps prevent small accessories from getting misplaced.
Can I store fishing rods and reels in a regular storage unit?
Yes, but fishing equipment needs protection from moisture and corrosion. Modern Storage® offers clean, secure self-storage units throughout Arkansas that help protect fishing gear and other seasonal outdoor equipment from environmental damage.
Will my camping gear last longer if I use a storage unit?
