I've been keeping my gear in a Rubbermaid bin. However, I've just purchased a new car with a much smaller trunk. The bin won't fit. I could put it in the backseat, but I'm planning to dive with a friend soon, so we need to be able to accommodate her gear, too. Sometimes we also carry a cooler. What have you all found to be a sensible way to truck your gear around without having it in bits and pieces? I like to be very organized, and it drives me crazy to have things scattered all over the place. I'm considering a couple of large duffel bags. I always carry an extra mask and a small tool box, so I need a little more room than you would typically need for a standard set of gear. Would sure appreciate your input!
I carry my gear in a Tupperware container too, I just put mine in the back of my Outback. Even in that new Civic of yours, if you carry only what you need, and put it in a smaller Tupperware container, you should be able to carry it all. If necessary, leave the dive gear and make room for another cooler of your fried chicken.
