Pack everything in a duffel bag or footlocker – it fits under your cot and will keep things dry. 

 

Plastic tubs work well, too, as long as they’re not too tall (about 12 to 14 inches or so in height) like the Rubbermaid Roughneck Medium Storage Box - 14 gal  23.9" x 15.9" x 12.2" – the lid doesn’t lock shut so you may want to wrap with duct tape for transport

            cell phones – anything that makes noise with or without headphones)
