How does everyone store their gear at home? Do you just leave it out for quick access? Do you use a bag and if so, what bag?

But I tend to do mostly landscapes and live in the country, so I have been known to turn off the bbq mid dinner, grab my bag and run if I see good light forming

Most containers are either both of 1) not easy to wipe down often or 2) not air/dust tight. I picked up a small file box meant for keeping papers dry. It has storage in the lid for flash cards and the transparent walls make monitoring a sinch. Just NOT for transport. "Light is the paint, lenses are brush, sensors are the canvas"
