I have been training strongman events out of a storage unit since summer of 2010 when I started grad school.  Since then I have been in four different storage units in three different locations.  This video is a brief tour of the current storage unit where I train.  It is not all inclusive of all of my equipment because some is in my garage gym and a little is at Iron Strong CrossFit, but this is what gets the job done for most of my event days.

Here is a more complete equipment list for those wondering what they might need in order to have enough options to train for anything that strongman throws their way:
-cones
-loading pins
-distance measuring wheel
-sledge hammer
-atlas stones (200, 240, 280, 300, 330, 360)
-stone platform
-lots of specialty bar collars
-sandbag and six 50 lb bags to adjust the weight of the big bag
-kegs (150, 185, 230)
-50 ft of 1.5" rope
-100 ft of 2" rope
-circus DB
-elitefts prowler (circa 2007 with a few modifications over the years)
-wagon wheels for 13" deadlift
-shot puts (16, 20)
-rocks/throwing stones (12, 16, 20, 24)
-highland games weights (28, 56)
-standards for weight over bar
-highland games trunk with various throwing paraphernalia
-chains
-plyo boxes
-a crap load of roughly 2'x2' stall mats
-tire (for landing atlas stones on)
-elitefts dragging sled
-rack ropes
-weight tree full of extra change plates (a lot of 10s, 5s, 2.5s mostly only needed for doing medleys)
-horizontal plates racks
-bumper plates (4x45)
-hundos (4x100)
-farmer's handles
-chain yoke
-3" axle
-highland games hammers (16, 22)
-trig board
-sheaf fork
-main weight tree (8x45, 4x25, 6x10, 6x5)
-yoke with 2 cross bars, one for carrying and one for stone loading

I'll bring out my log or 2" axle as needed, but since I use those frequently during my normal gym training they stay at my house rather than in the Unit.

There are only a couple things I don't have that I need (a big tire and a car deadlift frame), but I don't have room for them in the unit so until I have the option of more storage space, I can always improvise an analog or go to Brute, Colosseum, Iron Strong CF, etc if I really need them.
