Evergreen Ammo Case and GoPro Case

Dec 12

A couple of brilliant storage cases you didn’t know you needed.

I acquired two new high quality storage cases, one for ammo and one for my GoPro, from Evergreen Cases, back in October. Up until now I had been storing my ammo in its original cardboard boxes in either a heavy cardboard box or in one of the old metal military ammo boxes I inherited. It was a system that, for the most part, worked for me, although I have to admit it was a bit of a hassle sorting through the boxes in my closet for whatever cartridge I happened to be looking for. More often than not, it seemed that if I was looking for, say, 9mm cartridges I’d have to pull out a dozen other boxes before finding what I was looking for. Yes, I know, I should be more organized, but sometimes life gets in the way and you end up settling on a storage system just because it’s in front of you.

Anyway, I decided to change my lackadaisical ways this year and am determined to get more organized. To that end I got a couple of these new cases from Evergreen, just to try them out and see if they would be worth pursuing as a more permanent system. Suffice to say, I am impressed with both of the cases I got from Evergreen. They are both beautifully designed and appear to be on the upper end of the sturdy and rugged scale. They share a 3X Key Lock Latch, which I found to be a nice feature to keep prying little hands from getting into the contents. Not that I have any prying little hands around much anymore, but occasionally when the kids visit it’s nice to have that little added bit of security.

What I really liked about the ammo case was the ease and style with which it fit in a dresser drawer. I appreciate the fact that all of my ammo is neatly organized in a form-fitted case that I can easily transport, rather than a “box of shells” that rattles about when I need to grab it or move it. I’m telling you, I just feel more professional about my ammo storage now. So much so, in fact, that I’m going to expand my collection of cases to include a few handgun storage cases as well. If I have a criticism of the Evergreen Case it would be that they’re not stackable. I would really like to see the company incorporate a design that allows for cases of the same size to snap into place with one another.

But as much as I like the Evergreen 56 Pistol Ammo Case, I like the 56 GoPro Case even more. This thing solved several issues I had with storing my GoPro. It is super handy and convenient to have every piece that goes with my camera in a single, form-fitted case. I got the clear top case, which allows me to see everything I’m carrying. Man, it beats hauling everything in a zippered bag by a country mile. Plus, the case is waterproof, shatterproof and has the same 3X Key Lock Latch, so it by no means can accidentally open without you twisting the latch or using the key if you choose to. The ammo case makes me feel good about my firearm and ammo storage options now, but the GoPro Case is life changing. I don’t mean to sound overly dramatic but if you have a GoPro or similar small motion camera this kind of storage is just invaluable.

Evergreen has some cool options too, if you’re so inclined. I believe you can get custom printing done on the cases, and they have custom foam inserts as well. I’m planning on changing out a lot of my storage systems this coming year and replacing them with Evergreen Cases. My next cases will be their Medical Kits, the 56 model for backpacking and day trips and the larger 230 or 300 case for the truck and lengthier camping or backcountry trips.

Evergreen Cases are pretty affordable, with the two I got running around $38 for the ammo case and $50 for the GoPro case. But Evergreen seems to have sales going on fairly regularly, and right now they have some great deals going on for the holidays. I think just about any of the cases would make a great Christmas gift, especially the GoPro case and the Med Kit (I’m getting a Med Kit for my brother, and another GoPro Case for myself).
