No, not what you are thinking, so get your head out of the back alleys.
I'm talking about clothing storage. I think most of us use some sort of tub to store our hunting clothes...I've done it for a lot of years. But the inside of those tubs can be a disorganized disaster. I try to keep clothes folded and organized but it's a lost cause. I have a little "slob" tendency and before long everything is a tangled mess. I open the tub and look for certain items for the day's hunt and I can't make heads nor tails of what I'm looking at. "Is that the sleeve of the shirt I want or is that a pant leg of the same color?" Sounds trivial but I have gotten to my parking spot only to discover that I have the wrong stuff in my day bin because everything was a cluster **** when I packed for the day. I've spent some chilly days in the stand because I screwed up on which layers I brung.
I was reading some tips somewhere on packing suitcases and bags for traveling where they advocate rolling clothes instead of folding clothes. I decided to employ that tactic on our last 2 Boundary Waters trips and it really worked out well. So well that when we got home I rearranged my drawers and shelves and rolled as much of my clothes as I could. Shelves and drawers that were a tangled mess were suddenly neat, organized, and easy to find what I was looking for. I'm hooked on rolling.
So earlier today, I was putting away, and organizing my hunting clothes after laundering them (and getting ready for the great rutting weather in perfect timing for next week) and I was disgusted with my bin of base and mid layers...what a mess, and there was so much in there that the lid would hardly close.
I decided to roll my own. Holy crap...it's so well organized, and I can see anything and everything that I'm looking for, to transfer to my day tub.
Plus I have so much more room in the tub...might have to buy more stuff to fill it up! Anyone have any discount codes? LOL
Forget folding, roll it.
I could barely close the lid when this stuff was "folded" (and doesn't stay folded once you start rooting around for something). Now look at it. Room to spare. You should seem my T shirt drawer...then again maybe you don't, too much info.
