Simple, Compact Camp Kitchen: Building the Box

I'm out here trying to get out in nature more, but my gear needs a serious upgrade. So I knocked out a camp kitchen / chuckbox / patrol box to organize my cooking gear, and store some basics (oil, sugar, COFFEE, etc.).
I didn't want to spent a lot of effort doing joinery, so I took many shortcuts, such as using a lot of braces, and using inexpensive tubs on rails, instead of building drawers.
I wanted something I can deploy in a few different scenarios, and doesn't take up any more room that a plastic storage tote. Since my partner's idea of camping is a 3 star hotel, it's just going to be me out there, for 1-2 nights, it's fairly compact.
FINISHED DIMENSIONS:
22.5" wide x 20" tall x 13" deep
Main / drawer compartment is 17" of the total width
Pantry is 5" of the total width
Stove compartment is 4" of the total height

I’m so glad you posted this! I’ve been looking for something like your idea. I loved the clip of Ross yelling, “Pivot!” A great little memory from….back in the day. I can’t believe I even wrote that but, I’m still in denial about getting older. I also appreciate your showing the clip of you wearing a headband…as a gardener I can drip buckets from my head…something that is so unexpected. Just nother reason I wear a hat :). Thanks

@kristinmismash8580 3 года назад

This is an awesome box. I giggle at some of your real life authentic comments too. I got super excited when I saw the use of trofast bins. My kidlets are all grown and I actually have the tall Trofast frame and a couple of bins. I am going to use this for my kitchen box frame, get a couple of lids for the old bins (so glad Ikea still makes them), and add a front drop down "table" with a chain that will act as the door to hold on my stuff in it. I may try to add a swing out pantry like you did. Again, awesome!

@ShoestringMartha 3 года назад

Sounds like a great plan! A drop table will definitely give you way more surface area to work on. One thing that I thought of afterward, was I wonder if it would have been better to have the drawers pull out laterally, as opposed to long ways, for better access. Something to consider. 🤔 Best of luck with your build!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing I am about to build a very similar one. Protip if you are lazy like me is to make a list of your panel sizes and get home depot to cut them for you. Their big saw does a better job than you could at home. They also never charge the cuts in my experience. If you are nice to the operator at all they always just wave you off .. they don't seem to want to do any paperwork lol. I always zip them together with pocket screws and always amazed how quickly it comes together and how strong the end product is.

I have the camping kitchen box my father made in around 1947. 13 deep, 16 high and 26 long. Has shelves and 1 drawer. Unlike yours, it was just for cooking and eating tools, silverware, plates, mixing bowl, fry pan coffee pot, etc. Its 1/4 plywood with 2 doors on front. Must have 10 layers of old time varnish on it.

@High_Key 2 года назад

Very well done build Martha! The plastic bins as drawers is just so thoughtful for weight savings..I was doing something similar but with built drawers instead. I’m not handy by any means…so my one and only attempt at building the drawer system for my rig was a real learning experience lol. I missed quite a few structural reinforcements I see you implementing that seem so basic and fundamental in nature, that would’ve totally made my build more worth while. Also, without any legitimate power tools or workshop, I had Home Depot do the big plywood cuts, and then rented power tools and/or did the rest of the build by hand on a make shift plywood work table on the ground lol. Don’t think I’ll attempt V2.0 until I have at least the tools & infrastructure you have.

@ShoestringMartha 2 года назад

Way to make it happen, even with limitations! Many people wouldn't even try. 👏👏👏 Bins are great for saving weight, but also, I just really hate / am not very good at building drawers. I will get out of it any way that I can 😂

I put 2x10 or 2x12 on my metal sawhorses and cut them a few inches longer so I have mini work bench that clamps can be used on. Put 2 or 3 together for a bit bigger work bench/ table. Can also screw the saw horses to short scrap countertops. Those countertops are usually available at Restore locations and usually quite inexpensive.

@ShoestringMartha 2 года назад

Very nice! We finally have sawhorses, and sometimes, even plywood to put on top of them. I also freed up a folding table that was functioning as our miter saw stand, so I have way more -- and way safer -- work surfaces choices now. Thank goodness! (Also I love ReStore).

@sandytooks 9 месяцев назад

I agree, plastic bins instead of wooden drawers. Faster, less expensive, and lighter. Even my homemade teardrop trailer has shelves spaced to hold plastic bins for drawers. My chuck box for truck camping has no "front" or shelves, just a carry box full of shoe boxes. For travel, I slide all the shoe boxes out onto the picnic table, roll the box onto it's back, and place the shoe boxes back in. This design requires that the carry box end is a square so the shoe boxes fit in with the carry box opening either facing forward or up. Width is dependent on my how many shoe boxes you want to put in. Couldn't be more simple. Of course no stove, dutch ovens, or large pots! All the small items very well organized, though.

@ShoestringMartha 3 года назад

I think it could all be done with 2 tools: the saw of your choice (circular, table, or jigsaw) and a drill. 🤔 Cutting the hinge was easy with an angle grinder, but I have seen someone do it with a jigsaw, fitted with a blade for metal. If you have the patience and energy, it could probably be done with a hacksaw. However, my angle grinder was about $10-$15 from Harbor Freight, and I have used it for so many projects! The brad nailing could certainly be replaced with a few well-placed screws. I just really enjoy using the brad nailer. PEW PEW PEW! 😄 But don't let that stop you from getting any and all of the tools you might "need". 😉😉😉
