What's your strategy for packing and then staying organized at your cot space in your camp's wall tent?

Whats your strategy for packing and then staying organized at your cot space in your camp's wall tent. Our camp has about 8-10 guys in the wall tent. Space is always limited to our bunk area for storage....otherwise it stays in the truck or goes into an enclosed trailer that one of the guys brings. Anyway, I use a cabela's cot with a tree at each end and a cot side nightstand (organizer that hangs along the front). Bins go underneath the cot.

I have recently started using packing cubes which I am liking. Thought about trying to make some type of shelf system etc spanning over the cot but haven't got past just thinking about it. Any ingenious ideas out there for organizing or creating more space? and yes brining less s**t is an easy solution but looking for other options.

I resisted packing cubes for years.

They're a game changer.

How big is the tent!? Bring less stuff is the best way. But until you figure that out, here's what I do. Four guys and a stove in a 14x17. The black and red home Depot bins stow perfectly under my cot. Davis tent hanging organizers work really well for smaller items.

I had to look up what packing cubes were, never seen them before.

I had to look them up as well. They look like they’d be real handy.

I watched my wife use them for years. Seemed kinda nice, I just never thought to get my own until I was actively packing.

Way more handy than I thought they'd be.

Last night I discovered my wife and daughters use them to store hair care products and nail polish and such. Clearly I need to catch up!

Have you considered bringing your own tent? I can't imagine a tent big enough for 8 to 10 guys. It doesnt have to be anything fancy, just your own space for sleeping and storing gear.

Exactly, she mostly used them for stuff I don't pack!

Literally never had a problem with cosmetics, hair products, or bras when packing! Lol

I’m usually solo so organization is severely lacking!

Crazy how fast things get out of sorts!

That's got to be one humongous tent. I feel claustrophobic just thinking about that.

They really are. I have all the space in the world but I still love them for gloves, socks and other small items in my clothes totes or duffles.
