Plano Ammo Boxes

[Dockhead]

I am in the process of figuring out how to store tools, parts, and materials in a more rational way. I ordered a couple of Plano ammo boxes as an experiment.

They are terrific! First of all, they are made of some really resilient plastic, and they are designed with reinforcing ribs and generally thoughtful engineering. They have rubber gaskets and are waterproof.

And the form factor is really good for this -- they are tallish and narrowish. They come in three sizes (5.65mm, 50 cal, and 20mm ).

I just ordered a bunch more of them.

Yup great tip... I forgot about them and we used them in our RV.

We even stored food in them (after a good washing). Put a sticker on the front with what is in them. They are square and fit into cupboards nicely and are built to stack.

I kept my flares in an ammo box.

The old steel ones have been the standard for river rafting for decades. Watertight stackable float when sealed and not loaded heavy. Carry every thing from food and first aid kits,to s*** in the groover (a large ammo can used for waste that leaves grooves on your, well you get the picture)
