How to build a compact Patrol Box / Camp Kitchen / Chuck Box 

I love the use of the wood you have on hand. No $100 for a single 4*4 panel you'd be deathly scared to make a mistake on. Simple plywood and some OSB thrown in for good measure. This is a summer project for my sons and I to do. Thanks for the simple idea and design!

Many of the other designs on youtube are too out of reach for the majority of us common folk with minimal woodworking skills and knowhow, and much less tools. You sir, showed us a simple way to do do it and it could even be done with a hand saw, hammer and nails. Thank you!

Fantastic job. Great video too; (straight to the work and no clowning around talking gibberish) - enjoy the camping!!

I used to do a lot or Black Powder Rendezvous camping. These camp kitchens were in every camp. Usually accompanied by a second (more open box) that contained the kitchen supplies: food stuff, napkins, paper towels, as well as spices and others things. This second box set beside the first in a table or in some cases was purpose built to set below the stove box and the two them had a small low table that they sat on to get the stove to cooking height. I see comments on weight...yup heavy weight. The lightest were purpose built for weight reduction wood skeleton clad with 1/4 Cider on the outside to make up the box and the shelves inside. Thanks for bringing up some good memories.

Great design, and I really appreciate the practical, simple approach to building it. Well done!

Awesome piece!!! Thanks for the great idea and presentation!!!

We used these in boy scouts . Pro tip and a spot on the side for wood legs to angle in a slot added to the sides!!

That was pretty nice, I can't believe that all of that stuff fit inside---

Outstanding Video, Easy to undertandt, Short, Concise, Straight to the point, No BS. The best is, You can make your own measurements

I was looking for ideas other than drawer systems to build a kitchen in my suv! I like the drop down door and I can bolt the box into the platform so it can be easily removed. Thanks for sharing this.

Very nice! Perfect size for my grand caravan. Thank you so much. 👍

That is the cutest little Ryobi drill. I've never seen that one before.

simple organize and owesome

Great build!

WOW!!!!! When I was in Boy Scouts of America, we had several of these in our troop, but they were probably twice the size of yours. GREAT BUILD!!!!!!

Excellent!!

I had to view this twice because it was good! One of my camping wish list & or a peppers survival kitchen. But need one that I could store canned goods in too! This project reminded me of The Pampered Camper guide by Bill Riviere!

So cute!

Hi you are so amazing the things you build are awesome im into wood working but lack a lot of the right tools i need a power planer and would love a joiner anyway keep doing what you do im a subscriber god bless

Awesome.

👍 good ideas

Great work my friend love it.. Bist wishes..

❤ love it

Simple is ALWAYS best ! 👍👍

Please make me one! Great video!

Amazing. Like your channel from Viet Nam.

Awesome job now i want one,,,,,but where is the beer bottle opener OOP'S ,,LOL

Nice

Joli travail

Intéressant

Here is my dilemma. I could never put stuff back the way I took it out. Ha. That was one legit build. Thanks

The minute of looking at the plan and talking to yourself is soooo relatable LOL

Great box! Thanks for the straightforward video. How did you determine the placement of the shelving? Did you place everything on a table as you'd liked it packed and then take measurements, or did you build it and then get items that would fit the various cubbies?

Very useful! Maybe a little too heavy for me.

Awesome video. I'm looking to build my own chuck box after spending my whole scouting life around them and this was insightful. One question though, why did you use nails instead of predrilled and using screws?

I did not like the glue, nails, and the screws driven in without pre-drilling holes, but hey, it works! Very nice box you made, light, compact, and so useful for camping. Unload on a picnic table or tailgate party and set to go! Very inspiring. I would love to know what table saw brand you used. Seems like you dialed a knob to adjust the fence each time.

👍

Great design! I like how you used the plastic covered box and a couple of wood spacers to size one of the compartments. Is there any particular reason you did't use plywood for the front doors too? Thanks for sharing.

😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍nice

Could you make this with 1/4” plywood? Lumber is so costly right now, curious if it will hold up at that thickness

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can you post the measurements for the pieces of wood and how many of each

i would have made it taller so it can be used outside without a table or truck bed supporting it either collapsible legs or a separate stand that can be added to it otherwise pretty great

How’s that nail gun I’m thinking of getting that or a mitre saw next

Hollywood nail gun huh? No reloading, nice!

👍🤘😎

So why did you build such a nice box and finish it with crappy flake board? I really want to know. Why?

How much does the box weigh?

HOW ABOUT SHOWING US THE PLANS& A DRAWING WITH DIMENTIONS OF THIS

No crown guard - dangerous.

What product did you use to seal the wood?

could have taught some scouts to use machines to cut and let them assemble it with screws. woodworking merit badge. just for an idea.

TaDa!🎉

I wish I had the tools to make one.

Do you know about how much the box weighs empty?

How can you reduce weight on the box?

Why the switch to OSB for the front hinged door?

Is that 3/4 inch?

Which tacker do you use?

Wish he would share the measurements before sawing each piece.

Im amazed at how many arm chair quarterbacks and safety Nazis there are in the comment section. If you don't like what hes making turn it off, if you have a better way of doing it take the time to upload your projects. First video of his I have watched and I will subscribe and support his channel. Thanks for the ideas

what are the sizes

Hi. What is this box size?

No screws?

showwwww

Why do you call it a patrol box?

You didn't give any measurements or show any plans. Thanks for the waste of time slick.
