The Kitchen Storage Solution

My fellow vehicle dependent wanderers destined for remote places - is there a more comforting feeling than having a place for everything and everything in its place?

In my pursuit of this nirvana, I have struggled to find a solution to storing the little bits. The carburetor rebuild kit, spare driveshaft u-joints with circlips, a couple of tie-rod ends. Then there is the assorted fasteners and oil seals, fuel filters and hydraulic cylinder rebuild kits. How about the rainy day box of playing cards and travel games with tiny pieces? Before I loose you to your own mental lists - here is my solution.

The kitchen storage container. Manufactured by a variety of corporations - I have used Glad and Ziploc - they have the following benefits:

In addition, these containers are great for catching fluids during maintenance and small repairs. For example, draining my 300 tdi fuel filter requires a flexible container to squeeze into a tight spot; a small rectangular kitchen storage container is the perfect fit.
