Ok, I've got all this new fun dive gear. That's great. And then reality hits - storing it. Hauling it up and down hills for shore dives. Cleaning it. Etc.
What are some of your favorite tips, tools, pieces of equipment that you have found over the years for dealing with all the logistics of Scuba?
Here's what I have seen and been looking at so far:
I realize this may be sort of a vague question - maybe there's no great way to do this and you just get used to it - but wondering if any of the pros here have some tips and things they've learned over the years that have either made their life easier, or they wish they would've thought of prior. Could be a personal system you have, or one of those random little accessories that's been a major convenience boost.
I really don't know what's out there, but I saw a bunch of little things I liked on my last outing and hoping to glean some more ideas from the old timers and pros here.

Here's what I have seen and been looking at so far:
- Black costco bins, home depot buckets, double layered with holes drilled in the first bucket to let out excess water when wet
- Mesh bags
- Battery case for dive light batteries
- Tool bag for misc parts
- Changing mat for dealing with dirty ground @ shore dives
- XS Scuba Dry hanger for hanging and drying gloves, boots, etc (both on site, and back @ home)
- Regulator bag for safely storing/transporting regs?
