No Build Camper Kitchen Cooking Kit. Old Tool Box Hack 

What are the measurements of this tool box?

Stop at Walmart, grab a magnetic towel holder to attach to the side ofvyour tool box and you have a place to hang a dish towel or a roll of paper towels.

The wisdom of simplicity. The luxury of efficiency.

Neat idea... I've seen people use the big rolling tool chests as kitchen cabinets in skoolies... this is great for smaller campers. A minor suggestion... use a circular saw to cut a groove in the back side of those cutting board pieces that match up with the lip at the front and back where the lid closes, It will make them less likely to slide around while cooking.

Dude you're a flipping genius I love your idea

I would line the bottom of the drawers and maybe the sides of the inside with that grippie type drawer liners , maybe a little spray adhesive on the side ones. It will help alot with sound deadening. Just my thoughts.

Considering you can find these tool boxes for practically nothing at garage sales or other places is actually a genius ideal going to have to definitely save this and remember it it will definitely work for my needs

I use those gray silicone rubber hot mats from IKEA to stop plates and whatever from constantly sliding around on hard surfaces.

Pop the bubbles in the liner paper with a pin prick. Smooths out. 😁

Now THIS kitchen box recycling a toolbox we all likely have makes sense to me! Most box ideas I see are so cumbersome or takes too much room from the vehicle space. Thx for sharing! ✌🏾

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE METAL TOOLBOX, NO ACCIDENTAL MELTING A PLASTIC ONE, .NO BURN STAINS, ETC., EASY WIPE UPS.! THE NOISE WOULD BE SOOTHING TO ME WHILE I AM COOKING??

I love the simplicity and design of this camping box. Awesome job!

I have looked everywhere for something like this and you are the best I have seen

I too,have my kitchen in a metal toolbox! My toolbox stands 2 1/2 feet × 2 ft wide. It doesn't have drawers, but the door swings open and has a little shelf inside. I took off the small wheels, put toolbox on its side and the door opens flat so that I can it use as a prep space/cutting board. The stove area is wide enough inside, and I can cook in all kinds of wind. I don't take it out of the back of my suv. I open the hatch door, stand up, and cook. No one walking by would know what I was doing back there if it didn't smell like a restaurant (so I've been told😊).

You come up with some really great ideas!!!!I like that the butane or propane would be secured in a metal box.

Thats a great idea, I love to see stuff repurposed and camp kitchens are a bear to organize in the first place. Great video

Nice, makes for a great chuck box. Ya forgot one item. Small bottle of Dawn dish soap 😃👍

😮 oh my gosh I'm so glad this came up in my feed because I saw, I believe my first one of his videos last night where he only had a few hours to travel to San Diego to help out that 85 year old woman by making her a bed. I'm only a few seconds into this video and I am in total awe with the toolbox idea.

Id caution against using the stoves on top of loose cutting boards....but LOVE the rest of this. 👍😎🇨🇦

You could put your cutting boards underneath your stoves, which would leave some more space to put other important kitchen stuff in that 2nd drawer you had the cutting boards in. Just a thought!

Love this idea of repurposing a tool box.so easy to use & can be used inside or out.Only thing I would have to do is shorten the large cutting board to the same size as the small one as I would be worried about knocking the overhang whilst I was using the stove, which could be dangerous

Buy a plastic toolbox. You can buy any sizes and quality. No rattles, no wearing of paint and kitchenware's. My son uses one for years, good idea.

I liked this idea too. But no contact paper! It looks pretty, but adds to the fire hazard. But metal storage box. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing 😊

Can you please do something unique with the Stanley lunch box? Most people make a portable coffee station with it. I bet you can do better 😉

It would be cool to add in a sponge ,steel wool and some dish soap for cleanup

2:01 now you’re gonna have me looking for the right toolbox in a yard sale

Love this! I'm OCD though, I'd of cut the bigger cutting board to match the length of the smaller one too. And glue that extra piece to the small one. 😂 That's not considered 'building' on a no-build, is it?

1:20 this is an absolutely amazing idea. I’m constantly looking for ways of improving my car camper. Thanks for sharing.

superb tidy kitchen! but, if I may, a piece of advice, you should return one of the 2 fires, so that the gas bottle is not near the flames👍

THAT is brilliant!

That is a great idea! I like the reuse of the tool box. Thanks for sharing.

I have the same thing in my 6x12 cargo trailer except it is the much larger one (floor to counter height) and is built in under the counter. It's my favorite part of the build because it's so functional, holds a lot, is durable, easy to keep organized, and has one lock to keep all the drawers closed when moving. If I did another build, I would use one again.

I use an old military feild desk as a kitchen, It holds everything I need. I love it!

I told my wife years ago to use roll around toolboxes for her kitchen cabinets. That way you can move wbpverything to clean , relocate, etc. plus the drawer slides can withstand heavy loads and they run smooth. Tops can be made out of whatever material you desire, wood, tile, marble. She thought I was crazy. Then she said you would do it if you were a bachelor. I said yes I would.👍👍👍✌🏻🇺🇸🙏🏽😎

I would like to see electric version of this for solar cooling. I like burners but i would leave them with out using cutting boards. You are very good at making things work and practical. Thank you. I have watched this couple times to come up with more ideas

Wow tool box cooking station 😮🎉 I definitely doing this ! Thanks for such a great idea 😊🫶

Contact paper can be smoothed with a credit card. Scoot the bubbles to the edge. If you have a contrary bubble puncture it with a pin and flatten.

I love this kitchen. Such a great idea. I use the same burner and nesting pots; theyre the perfect size for solo camping ❤

When you get those bubbles after application, just use a razor blade to put a tiny slit on the bubble, then use a credit card or nylon squeegee to push the air out of the slit that you made. This will give you a smooth application.

Absolutely always appreciate your solution based thinking in all your builds

My 2 cents on top of the liner, get some of the silicone/ plastic liner to minimize the rattle on washboard roads.

Great idea. I'm going to make one except I am going to look for a dual burner propane stove to fit the top.

Take a box knife and put a small slit in the air bubbles to smooth them out.

That's a great idea!! I've got an old toolbox I might have to try something like this for my mini hotplates and cooking gear. Thanks for sharing!

That's very cool!!! Never thought the kitchen equipment is so easy to set up, then can cook wherever you would like!!!

I like your setup. I'd put your napkins in a Ziploc bag. Thanks for sharing 🤘

NICE job... I've been car-camping since the 60's and this is a great option! I think I would rework the cutting board idea a bit, but again... GREAT idea/job!!!

I saw someone at a Ren Faire use a Snap On Tool Box as his kitchen many years ago - THIS is nice and compact! LOVE this and thank you!

This is such a great idea! I can't believe how much fits inside the box.

This is genius! Love this idea!

Genius. I would never have thought of this

I took a free stainless steel grill with one burner on the side with lid closer. Burner still works so I keep it in. I had a marble slab cut ,added four brackets inside and placed the marble where the grill was. It has a double door cabinet under it. I placed a plywood on the bottom. I store my pots. I got tired of the stainless top / open and closed/ so I removed it and placed it out side ( making a fire oven. But I love my roll away cutting board island. This is a cool ideal with the tool cabinet.

Thank you for a great video. We ended up purchasing a Roto Cast Chuck Box that was similar to the old plywood Scout patrol kitchens, but weighed 1/3 what a patrol box weighs empty. It was pricey but going on 10 years old and it is still in near new shape. It is made by York now and still a US manufactured product so the carbon footprint is smaller for new. I like that it s plastic so it can be left outside on a table at camp and closed up it is water tight. Roto Cast plastic dose not get hell hot or frost bite cold either. This is not important to fair weather campers, but for me is important. My tool boxes all have tools in them... It is Called The Chuckbox Camp Kitchen. It has fit even in the Jeep Patriot camper setup. I love the portability of these types Kitchen boxes. I like that one person can take it to a picnic table at a rest area while cross country or state traveling. I love your setup because you reused an item you already had, and it takes up very little space. Thank you again for the video. Safe travels.

Great idea tremendous video. This is how you think out of the box. Keep up the great work . 🤣👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌴😎🌴

Thanks for sharing, I think this is a brilliant way of re-using of an old tool box!

You are really thinking outside the box here. Good idea. I am sure I have old tool box or find a thrift store or swap meet.

Absolutely enjoyed your episode, what a great idea perfect for limited space so much that I'm going to adopt this, thanks keep up the great work.

That is a great idea and you are going to need to add some modifications to stop the rattling.

Awesome set up and creativity! Love it.

I love this idea; it’s small and compact. I have one on my channel but it’s a much heavier tool box with wheels however I’ll be looking for one like yours for more compact use. Thanks for sharing this.

That lot will rattle around and drive you craaaazy 😮

Nicely done! I love your idea.

Fabulous idea!! I’m doing this!! Thank you-you’re a genius!!!

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing

Very clever!! Love it❣️👏👏👏👏

Great video. You packed that well!

Great idea and works well. Just what you need. I made a chuck box out of correx/coroplast!

Genius’s idea!! Thanks so much!!!!

This was what i did back in 2007 as well before my Boyfriend built me a custom check box! Small tip: line the inside of the drawer with some kind of soft material. Really eliminates all cling-clang sounds of utensils when doing bad roads. I used those felt cloth type material used to cover speaker boxes. Cut it to size and just glued it in. Worked! Gets real dirty over time though. But try exploring other soft material to line the insides.

This is very cool. Thanks for sharing the idea!

Really cool idea! Thanks for sharing!

Well, that is really something great. Will copy this for my pickup and sailboat... since it's so mobile. ❤

We used tool cabinets in our class b for the kitchen and overhead cupboard. Works great so far

Fantastic idea! Thank you.

Great idea and use of space 👍

Great idea. For me the cost of the butane is not efficient or price effective for long time spent in the backcountry for me. Utilize propane when I have too, but prefer open fire cooking. Doesn't cost anything but time and effort.

You always come up with super good ideas. Thanks for posting this video.

Great, great idea fora galley! Enjoyed the video.

Awesome hack!

This is incredibly clever!

Excellent job and a great idea.

Why not just take the two burners out and set them on top of the tool box when the lid is shut. That would eliminate having to buy and cut down the cutting boards or anything else. The tool box is a great idea though! 😊

Awesome set up

Brilliant, well done!

Great idea!!

Great hack I love it. Thank you for sharing.

Love it!!

This is great! Now if I only had a spare toolbox of that size lying around!

Wow this is a Awesome 💡 & you can change Area around or take it outside to cook ! Everything in one place! 👍👌✌️🤞🙌🙏🌟🇺🇲🌻🤩

Cool idea!

Great idea. Thank you

Absolute genius!

Great video, great idea. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome idea! You can change things up as you go too👍🏻

Love this!!

Great idea!

A perfect chuckbox!🙏👏

Love it absolutely love it

Very cleaver way to repurpose items you already own.

That is pretty awesome.
