8 man tent , 4 man , 2 3 man tents , a 2 man , and a tarp all under my bed . rest of gear in and around my bedroom , along with my mountain bike and paintball  gear 

No wonder I'm a single Mum

Mine are up in the loft, along with anything else that could be damaged by damp. The table, chairs and gas bottle are in the garage.

The only thing that is in the house itself is the bedding, which lives in a laundry hamper in my bedroom.

As I don’t have a garage or an abundance of storage space everything of mine goes in the loft, it’s very well insulated with floorboards, carpet and lighting and bone dry,  bedding and camping clothes are mangeable up there as well, a rope & pulley system is used to hoist the rest of it up and down.

During the season (April-Oct) a lot of it stays ready in the roof box on the car, and it’s just a 20min job to get the rest down and loaded.

Because of the size of the loft it’s an ideal place to string up a line and dry a wet tent out if needed, a lot of people don’t take advantage of all that spare loft space, mind you, if you lived in a flat goodness knows how you would manage!!

loft during the winter. garage during the spring summer.

Seeing the weather this week, i wish i hadnt put it all up in the loft 2 weeks ago though
