QUESTION:

I would like to ask what types of storage lockers people use for summer camp for scouts. I have been told that some people like the Rubbermaid Actionpackers. I just saw a Contico Storage Locker (wheeled) at linen n things for $20. http://www.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1355511 This seems to do the job. Actionpackers seem to be a lot more expensive. Is "water tight" a requirement?

ANSWER:

-Our family uses the Sterilite 3-drawer storage containers, then drill holes in the edges to secure the drawers shut with cable ties for transport. One of the adults brings a lockbock for valuables.

A: A solid, comfortable pack and good judgement on what to take along is pretty darn hard to beat for one person and their personal stuff. Summer camp has the advantage of being a fairly short walk-in, so even if weight makes it difficult, at least it's temporary (just be extra sure to use the waist strap on that pack unless you want the pack to tear your arms off...). Big, clumsy rubber boxes seem to be better suited for long-term, communal-item duty like a patrol box. If you're considering something the size of a cooler or larger for one person, it's time to reconsider what you're bringing along. Check out your Boy Scout Handbook for a good idea of what you're going to need.
