Where Should You Stash Your Modern Gear at Camp?

Introduction / Purpose

During LARP and re-enactment events, you often want to bring your modern clothing and gear along without disrupting the historical atmosphere. This article explains how and where to best store them.

Core Information

Modern clothing and gear can distract from the gaming experience or get damaged if left loose around the campsite. That's why it's important to store them safely and discreetly:

1. Use of chests and baskets

   • Modern items can be stored in lockable or covered chests

   • Baskets offer a clear and portable solution
     
     

2. Elevated storage

   • Place gear on ground cloth to prevent moisture, dew or dirt
     
     

3. Screened zones

   • Modern gear can be kept in an OOC zone, so it stays out of sight during IC activities
     
     

4. Protection from the elements

   • Use waterproof bags, covers or tent sections to keep modern gear dry
     
     

Practical Tips / Application

• Clearly label chests or baskets so gear is easy to find

• Avoid leaving modern clothing lying around the campsite

• Store electronics or valuable items in waterproof bags or bags

• Make sure everyone in your group knows where OOC gear is stored
