What a MESS!

This past season, I got tired of the mess I had with all the charging cords for everything I use for hunting. (pretty pethetic what this hound hunting has come to). I had cords to charge four radios, four GPS collars, one Astro, one tracking box, AA battery charger, two shock collars and a transmitter.
I had all this junk (14 chargers) in a box and it was a nightmare trying to find the charger I was looking for. Then when I did find it, it was tied up in knots.
So I went down and found this plastic handgun case at Walmart. I put several electrical plug strips in it along with all the chargers. I drilled holes on the sides for the DC 30 chargers and the rest on top for the other cords to come out. I put grommets around the holes so the plugs can't slide back in. The cords can be pulled out and attached to the unit your charging and slid back in when your done. I labeled them so they are easy to identify. So far, it has solved my problem of finding the charger I'm looking for.

Great idea, I have the same rats nest problem.

Amazing we need $2000 of electrical equipment to run a hound in the woods! LOL

I would be very careful as to the amount of heat all those converters are generating inside a plastic non-vented case. May melt down if you run all at once? But then again, maybe I'm just a little paranoid when it comes to fire.
