Removing from storage
Unstowing is the act of removing something from where it has been stowed or stored away.
The term appears most often in nautical, aviation, and space contexts, where equipment must be secured during travel and retrieved for use: The astronauts began unstowing the scientific instruments.
More generally, it means unpacking or taking out of storage.
