I store all my stuff in milk crates (facsimile). You can buy them in some hardware or kitchen,etc supply. I have numerous gear (foldover w tops and handles) but I always quit using them as you cannot what you got in them and you cannot see if you put everything away easily. They do keep the rain out and give good protection.

Milk crates don t tip over (like buckets), you can see in them to check if you brought everything home, and stuff will dry out in them as sides have holes . You can backfeed a half inch x 120- foot line in a small square one and in a doublewide standard size one a 150 foot x 3/4 inch double braid will back feed in if you step on it some to compress it. In one double wide I carry spikes on bottom, a hook up and heavy pully and then rolled up climbing line and snap, on top of that a lowering line (1/2" x 120") and top of that saddle w handsaw/scabbord. In another half box I have big block and numerous hook ups, and porty. They re real portable, you can stack them and you can throw them in truck bed and just heave them on garage floor. They do let rain on gear though.
