Most of us have read the discussions pertaining to modifying a portable fishing shelter tub with plywood constructed compartments for heaters, bait buckets, rods/tackle, power outlets, etc.,etc. Some say adding such compartments add a lot of weight. That's fine for some but, others like and have ways to organize a fishing shelter with little weight added, less expensive and easier to install.
I'd like to hear some discussion on simple, easy to install ways to make your fishing shelter more comfy and organized.
Having four Nature Vision MultiFlex rod holders and two MultiFlex rattle reels for my Canvas Craft Double-Flip shelter, I wanted a safer place and easy access to store these items so, I picked up an inexpensive sturdy plastic basket and mounted it to the rear of the Otter tub; which leaves room under the basket for the shelter poles and other larger gear, too.
I used bolts, nuts and two inch fender washers to secure the $5 basket to the Otter tub. The basket's large enough to hold a lot of small gear and is within easy reach. And, it doesn't add weight to the shelter.
While walking through the Big M store, I found some large S-Hooks ($1 each) that work great for hanging lanterns, rod bags and coats more easily and out of the way while fishing.
If your shelter doesn't already have a storage pouch or two from the manufacturer, consider having a canvas shop add some. They work great for keeping small items safer and within easy reach.
What good inexpensive ways do you organize your fishing shelter to make it more comfy and keep gear safe?

Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
