I guess I'm into a bit of overkill when it comes to storage. I wash everything about 2 weeks before the season, then air dry outside. After all the clothes are dry, then go either into a vaccum sealed bag or a tightly sealed plastic tote. When I go on a trip everything goes into the vaccum sealed bags then into a box for shipping. After each trip to the field all my "dirty" clothes goes in a separate bag from my never worn items. I'm a freak, I know. It probably more superstition than actual practical use. But it works for me. My wife hates the tubs sitting in the closet during hunting season, but gives me confidence. I wash every worn item every three weeks or so...depends on how much it's used.
