Protect Your Outdoor Gear This Summer
Preserve Your Outdoor Adventure Gear
If you live in or love visiting Pagosa Springs, you know that summer means outdoor fun, fresh mountain air, and plenty of gear to keep track of. Whether you’re a weekend warrior on the trails, a river enthusiast, or an RV camper chasing hot springs, you probably have more equipment than closet space. That’s where we come in!
At Alpine Storage Pagosa Springs, we’re all about helping locals and adventurers store their gear safely, affordably, and conveniently—so your next outing is always just a grab-and-go away.
Why Summer Storage Makes Sense in Pagosa Springs
Even though Pagosa Springs doesn’t hit the scorching temps of lower altitudes, strong UV exposure, afternoon rain, and unexpected wildlife visitors can still damage your outdoor gear.
Here’s why it’s smart to store your stuff:
- Sunlight can fade and weaken fabrics—especially on tents, tarps, and dry bags.
- Rain and humidity in July and August can lead to mold or rust if items are left in garages or vehicles.
- Wildlife (yep, even mice and squirrels) love the scent of camping gear and might chew through your items if they’re stored improperly.
Instead of worrying about where to keep it all, stash your gear with Alpine Storage—and get peace of mind all summer long.

Top 5 Tips to Store Outdoor Gear the Right Way
1. Clean & Dry Everything First
Before you stash anything, be sure it’s clean and completely dry. That means wiping down your kayak, airing out your boots, and emptying every bag. Leftover dirt or moisture can lead to smells, mold, and more.
2. Use Plastic Bins & Fabric Covers
For smaller items, sealed plastic bins work great. For big stuff like bikes or tents, opt for breathable fabric covers to avoid trapping moisture inside.
3. Elevate Your Gear
Place gear on pallets, shelves, or bins to improve airflow and reduce condensation risk. This is especially helpful during our occasional late-summer storms.
4. Add Moisture Absorbers
Throw a few silica gel packets or DampRid containers into your bins or corners of the unit. They’re cheap and super effective at controlling summer humidity.
5. Label & Rotate Your Gear
Label bins by category—camping, biking, hiking, etc.—and keep your most-used items near the front. That way, grabbing your paddle or hiking pack is quick and easy.
What to Store This Summer (and What to Keep Out)
