How do you organise all 'the stuff?'

[StandardLampski]

I know this has prob been done before, but I'm sat in the midst of a puddle of stuff.
.. cooking utensils.... basin... pans... food....torches....gas canisters.... just lots of camping things. Toys for kids. Kettle. Things that wont fit in nearly together
Getting overwhelmed. And know that the last few years I've been feeling the same while actually camping.

Anyway.
Normally I have lots of bags for life for stuff.
Food
Toys
STUFF.
I kind of line them up at the side of the tent.
And I do have a hanging organiser.

no matter how much I organise things at first, people ( glaring at you, kids) rifle through the bags and it just ends up in chaos.

So anyway, what I'm asking is - please, how do you firstly pack things, and secondly, keep them.organised in tent?

I see people use boxes but I'm pretty sure boxes aren't going to fit in car. J use bags for squishyness!
Or just accept the chaos??

We take a kitchen cupboard to stand the stove on, which also has space underneath for plates, cups pans etc. Then we have a collapsible cupboard for food. We recently invested in another cupboard to keep some of the clothes in. We have a roof box with bags that fit it, so we each have one of these bags for our clothes and keep by our beds in the tent. We have bags for life for waterproofs and fleeces etc, another for beach stuff, and another for toiletries/suncream etc. This system works reasonably well until DH puts something in the wrong bag/cupboard or starts rifling through and getting things in a mess!

A table is really useful, not just for eating, but just for putting things down safely and so they don't get lost. Drinks, bowls and plates of food, toys, car keys, wine bottles etc. Get one with a solid top and adjustable legs so you can have it at different heights or compensate for sloping ground.
We use the bags for life for coats, shoes, towels etc, just need to keep them under control or you end up with six or seven kicking around.

There's a certain amount of editing your kit too - if things don't stack neatly together, swap for things that do. We can nest all our cooking pots, plates and bowls into one stack. Kettle has a folding handle. Washing up bowl is a flexible trug and squishes into a box.

Bags for life, the jute ones are better for car travel though we use plastic ones as last few trips by motorcycle. I quickly realised how little stuff you actually need
