Default Storing/ maintaining hunting clothes.

I have a dedicated hunting coat, pants and boots. Where is a good place to store them, does it matter?
I am assuming it wouldn't be wise to just hang them up with the rest of our coats, so then what? A garbage bag?
If I do store them separate is there anything else I can do to assist in keeping them in top shape/odor for hunting?

I store all my stuff year round in a big plastic tote.

Excellent idea, is there anything in there for scents? Additives or something?

I put mine in a big rubber made box full of leaves and dirt, or trashbags with the same contents. It's worked for me, but one time I ended up having a pair of pants fall apart on me shorly after taking them out of storage. Not sure what happened, but I'm thinking maybe there was some sort of insect in there eating the fabric? I'd already tossed them out when I thought of it, or I would have put them under my son's micorscope.

I do what TeeJay does. I bought mine at a big hardware store for about $6 ea. I keep about 3 of them dedicated to just hunting clothes.

Yes i put a pine waffer in it. I take this tote where ever I go. It is huge I shoot a Mathew Outback and it fits right into my tote. No need for a case. I personally would not use trash bage, most have a disinfectant of some sort in them.

I keep my cloths in a plastic tote also and put in one or two of the earth scented dryer sheets. Also have a closet in guest bedroom that is dedicated to hunting cloths and gear that I keep closed unless I'm getting stuff out. Also use dryer sheets hanging up in there too.

Good point about the trash bag.
What are you refering to when you say "pine waffer" the tree things that you would hang from a rear view mirror? Or are you talking actual wood?
