We pack what we need and use in ready to go packs, and put the rest in a couple of gear closets and a couple of shelves on the garage. I try to organize it there, but I'm a hopeless failure. LOL! Although, I do organize like with like. Food with food, cooking with cooking, sleeping with sleeping, etc... and I have some baskets, rubbermaid containers, and clear plastic containers for the little stuff, along with various day/specific excursion packs, and survival/FAK/fire/fishing/etc. kits.
