Where do you put all the things that stay in the airplane? Tie downs, oil, rags, funnel, halon, etc.

I need something to keep everything tidy.

Home Depot, tool section, they have soft tool bags all sizes, cheap too. One of them would be pefect, I just got one for my E bike rack, it has a big compartment and several small ones.

Soft tool bags x 2.
I have the backseat headsets in one, tools in another, bulky stuff (extra jacket, spare MLG inner tube & t/w tire/tube, etc) in yet another.
Cheapie duffel bags from the surplus store (any of those still around?) would work well also.
Or those cloth tote bags that the greenie food stores like you to use.
Giant-ass Tupperware plastic boxes from Walmart are pretty handy for keeping stuff in too.
I have a couple of those for my camping gear.

I like these because you can easily stack things on top. I have one that holds almost everything non-essential, so I can get the plane lighter by moving one crate. But everything I need is still there when I do cross countries.

I do use a plastic milk crate fairly often for some things.
it works good for heavier things like anchors etc. protects a little better than a bag.

It also works good for a step if you turn it upside down.

Harbor Freight usually has cheap tool bags they work good also. you can put a strap through the handles to secure your load.

Tool bags and backpacks. Easy to load and unload, transfer weight, handle makes it easy to weigh with a fish scale.

Duffle bag I got from work, goes in the kiddie seat in the back with a seatbelt through the handles, not a fan of hard boxes.

I have an amazing amount of stuff under the back seat: extra oil, a spout, and tire "goop" (Stan's NoTubes) in a plastic tool box; jumper cables; tool kit; chocks; hand cleaner wipes; 2-step ladder; tie-down anchors (the Claw); jack, and jackpoint. In the baggage area, I keep the survival kit; the tie-down straps in a stuff sack; the cowl plugs, pitot and AOA probe covers, fuel cap covers, aileron locks, and windshield cover in another stuff sack. Behind the tail cone cover, I have a bicycle pump clamped to the shelf.

Under the passenger seat, in a tray that can be slid out for access, I have a Kleenex box, sick sacks, and a box of Travel Johns. On the back of the passenger seat is the O2 set and accessories. Under the pilot seat and extending into the footwell of the backseat, I have the towbar. On the back of the pilot seat, I have a Nelson pouchpack, which holds various manuals, gloves, fuel tester, fuel stick, pocket knife, PLB, miscellaneous charging cables, etc. On the front of the pilot seat, I have a water bottle holder and fire extinguisher.

I've found that it's easier to put most of the things that are under the backseat and passenger seat under there without putting them in containers (other than the bottles of oil and Notubes, in case they leak), because containers themselves take up too much room.
