How does /p/ store and organize their gear?
I just rearranged my place and figured I'd show mine and see how other anons do it.
Top shelf is empty bags. The bottom visible one is my preloaded "go bags," one for my DSLR kit and one for my Hassy. The middle shelf is loose lenses and my camcorder, a couple of classics, and that big thing behind is the Epson R2880 that I don't have a good permanent spot for. Accessories, cleaning stuff, bag dividers, chargers, and the like go in the plastic drawers on the left.
If anybody's wondering, by the way, the fabric on the wall is covering a vent, my room is a small rental apartment behind a house, without its own climate controls, and when the people who live in the house put the heat on, it gets insanely hot in here without something to block some of the airflow. The big knife is a WWI bayonet that a friend gave me. (Actually the same guy I got the F2 from.)

Thinly veiled gearfag brag/showoff thread mk. II: Now with even thinner veil.
Underrated thread.
>context: The atmosphere is comprised of nitrogen, oxygen and fungi spores. They are in your grandmothers' lungs, in the oval office and in your asscrack. They are everywhere, they cannot be killed, and with the presence of moisture they will advance to stage two: Actual fungi or mold.
Basically I stored all my stuff in a cupboard in a damp room, didn't photo for a while, then came back and there was fungi on each side of each lens. So I put them in the sun to kill the growths, but there are still spores about waiting for that humidity to strike again.
Now I keep my gear in a backpack, in a dryer room, ready for instant deployment.

You must like dust. At least get some cheap plastic tubs with lids.
Isn't keeping lenses in your bag a bad idea because fungus likes the dark?
I keep everything in clear plastic containers with the lids on, each of which has a pack of silica in it.
Can you put any packs of silica in the oven to dry then or, or only certain ones?

Fungus doesn't like dark. Fungus likes wet. Dark tends to not dry out as fast as brightly lit.

Oh, I also wouldn't use anything that tightly sealed with or without desiccants. Once the desiccants become saturated, they become a source of humidity, so if you're not changing them periodically, you're just subjecting your lenses to more moisture.
Unless you're talking about a damp basement, you're generally much better off just keeping them somewhere that air can get to them.
It just sorta lies around :^)
I live in the tropics. I keep most of my stuff next to a window so the sun bakes everything and keeps the fungus at bay.
I store my shit in a huge ass pelican case chained to my studio.

I honestly have no idea. I don't watch soccer either.

It's actually clean and oiled. Anything more would destroy the patina that a century has left on it.
>>2766883
I keep the stuff that only comes out rarely in drawers for just that reason. I use the stuff on the middle shelf enough that dust doesn't really have time to build up, and they have caps to protect them from the worst of it.

Fortunately, I live in a quite dry climate (SoCal), so fungus is pretty much a non-issue.

The grip looks dry.
Is that leather they put on the handle?
Is that a kraut or an American model?
>>2768751
It's a British Enfield bayonet, made in 1918. Originally it would have been quite a bit longer, but at some point it was cut down to its current length, which apparently was quite common after the war.
The grip is two slabs of wood sandwiching a full tang. The wood is heavily worn, and what you're seeing is areas of different wear.
