[at-l] Too much gear?!

[camojack at comcast.net (camojack@comcast.net)]

I am fortunate to have a little over an acre (1.18, to be exact) to spread out in, although most of it is wooded... 

I imagine some creative solutions are needed for the apartment dwelling owners of a lot of "stuff"...been there, done that. (Hated it!)

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.
