Can camping gear be stored outside?

While tempting, avoid storing your equipment in outdoor storage sheds or attics to avoid moisture issues and extreme temperatures that can wreak havoc on equipment durability. We suggest that you store your camping equipment in the garage. Storing camping equipment may seem complicated, but you can do it without too much trouble. The best part is that if you do it right, your team will stay in good shape so you can get the most out of it for longer.

You'll also avoid the repulsive smell that sometimes gets on camping equipment that's kept in the wrong places. Make sure the equipment is easily accessible Make sure everything is clean and dry before packing. You can store your tent in the garage as long as you find a way to keep it dry and out of direct sunlight. Heat and humidity shouldn't play a role here, so it doesn't matter what type of garage you have.

It should be good, as long as you can keep the tent dry and out of sunlight. Keep your camping equipment away from windows in a dark corner of the garage or store all your equipment in a hard plastic container. For example, when I lived in my apartment in Texas, I had an outdoor storage closet that I used to store all my outdoor equipment.
