What this video does not show is all of the various iterations of a chuck box we have tried over the years- totes, Army Surplus boxes, fancy Overland boxes, Milwaukee Packouts. It feels like we had tried everything.
The V2 Camp Kitchen is 22" wide, 16.5" tall, and 18.5" deep front to back. This is the smallest box I could physically fit all of our gear in.
The first big step we took was getting rid of our old, recycled kitchen gear. Going to lower end back packing gear really helped with our space needs. Our cooking gear is dedicated to the camp kitchen which also helps ensure everything is ready when we launch on a trip.
I purchased most of our Camp Kitchen gear at ahappycamper.com/
Below are some Amazon links to the same gear. Remember, using these links supports the channel but doe snot cost you any extra.

• Our camp kitchen/chuckbox started out using leftover/Goodwill kitchen items. However, as the family grew and we needed more plates, bigger cooking pots, etc. Using traditional kitchen items ended up being too bulky/heavy. I tried a lot of different products and brands. One day I visited A Happy Camper / a-happy-camper-1702256... in Twin Falls, Idaho. The owner directed me towards GSI- she personally recommended all of these products to me. Too much money later I came home with a full complement of GSI ware. It has been 5 years with no issues- we recommend all of these products.
