I got to thinking about "Gear Storage" and wonder: Where do people keep their 
gear?
Sports and Hobbies do require space.

I live in a small apartment in a big city and there is little extra room for 
anything like Backpacking equipment.  Fortunately, in the month preceding my 
planned Thru my friend has not complained (too much) about the spreading area 
of accumulated gear.  During the normal course of a year when there is not the 
gathering of gear most of my Backpacking and Camping equipment is kept in a 
Storage Bin (Public Storage, Affordable Self Storage, Manhattan Mini Storage, 
etc.).  When I lived in a house there was the "corner" of the basement where my 
camping gear lived.  

If everyone in a house or apartment are in agreement then the "problem" of 
accumulated gear is diminished but if there is usually a disagreement about the 
time involved or the space that is taken up with a sport/hobby the fur can get 
ruffled if not fly.
