If you’ve ever stood in your garage, hands on hips, wondering how the hell it got this messy — this one’s for you. In a recent MeatEater Clips video, Steve gives a full walk-through of his garage setup, and it’s… well, intimidatingly dialed. Every inch is doing something.

He starts with a “drop zone” by the door for gear coming and going — then moves into open shelving with bins built to fit. Not the other way around. It’s like Marie Kondo met a hunting guide.

  • Fishing gear? In labeled bins.
  • Action Packers? Loaded with grab-and-go essentials — first aid, optics, camping cups.
  • Workbench? Walk-around clean. Ready for whatever project’s next.

Steve even went industrial with Vidmar cabinets for tools and Acro Mills sorters for hardware. Overkill? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.

Up top, he’s using modified Flex Mount panels for overhead storage — think gas cans, coolers, even spear guns. The man’s turned his ceiling into bonus square footage.

Bottom line:

This isn’t about being obsessive. It’s about building a garage that works as hard as you do.
