For home storage I use a commercial steel rack just for the camping gear boxes, bags, sleeping gear and soft goods stay in a house closet.
For the gear in the truck, it goes into a variety of boxes and bags. I mostly use the black boxes w/yellow tops, rubber made, action packers, and a few milk creates. I do use Seahorse, Pelican and SKB boxes for special gear. I dislike fitted boxes for the most part as they waste space. I take care of my gear so I don’t use a high end box for something that doesn’t need it.
My cook box’s are rubber made, a large one for 6 people, the small is a black with yellow top 2 people. All my dry food is in action packers to keep the small vermin at bay. Clothing tends to be in duffel bags or rubber made boxes or hung up. I agree that many things have a place that just fit.
I find the surplus stuff is heavy and clunky, the military never worried about space or weight, it’s nostalgic but not for me.
