A stackable gear support stand may be provided. The stackable gear support stand may have an elongated central member, a bottom leg member, a top leg member, and a cross member. The bottom leg member, top leg member, and cross member may be stacked horizontally on a vertically oriented central member to form a working support stand. The bottom leg member, top leg member, and cross member may alternatively be stacked coaxially on the central member to form a collapsed storage and transportation orientation.

A portable equipment stand to hold tactical equipment, protective equipment, and/or uniforms is disclosed. An example portable equipment stand includes a central frame, three legs hingedly connected to a first end of the central frame, two arms hingedly connected to a second end of the central frame, and a neck located at the second end of the central frame. The legs are rotatable between a first retracted position and a first deployed position. The two arms are located on opposing sides of the central frame and are rotatable between a second retracted position and a second deployed position. The neck is configured to move from a third retracted position to a third deployed position. The arms are configured to enclose at least a bottom portion of the legs when the arms are in the second retracted position and the legs are in the first retracted position.
