The DIY Overland Camp Kitchen - Chuck Box - Patrol Box - Campervan - Outdoors Cooking 

I'm coming by 4 years later. Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your build!

I built a very similar camp kitchen for my 1965 VW bus a little over 50 years ago. Primarily 1/4 & 1/2 inch plywood & mahogany strips. We used it for many years & gave it away when we moved & got a motor home. They used it for at least another 20 years before it needed too much repair. It always created a lot of curiosity & conversation everywhere we went. I want to make one again for day or weekend trips with the grandchildren. I am getting a lot of ideas from the variety of YT videos.

Deceptively simple. A lot of thought has gone into this design and it flows effortlessly. What a great chuck box! I like the wine glass holder, heh heh, very clever! The Europeans do the same thing in every RV with a wine bar and rack for glasses, same concept, but in plexiglass with blue LED lighting and it looks so elegant. I love the fold out doors becoming supports for top ledge, the holes for hooks for the trash bag, the towel rod becoming a rolling pin (genius!), the bungee cords holding the plates down to prevent rattling. Also love the fold down shelves from the swing out doors - so clever. They do double duty holding stuff back then open to give more surface area. Ras El Hanout spice from Morocco? You do get around. Looks like you are a good chef. Nice range of spices for Moroccan, Indian, Western foods. I looked at your video a second time. Your build is exceptional. The aircraft case hardware and corner supports, the metal sheet coating on table tops, the beautiful support system for the leaf extensions, every attention to detail including cutting holes in the shelf walls to reduce weight. The elastic cord anchor system on plates and pots is genius. I will borrow this idea from you, along with several others. I love this build. You have a keen eye for detail and a low key presentation that belies the greatness of this build. To make a functional, robust, and beautiful Chuck Box/Camp Kitchen that is also a compact size, molded to your needs, and lightweight, is a woodworking challenge. I feel a fire burning in me to make my own version. A good camp kitchen is a feat of engineering and the ultimate challenge in creative skills. Love the pots and pans with no handles. That saves space for sure. Put a piece of soft foam between them or you will scratch the Teflon interior. Very nice build, enjoyed the tour and excellent visuals. Thanks!

Excellent setup and yes, better than plastic boxes.

I viewed this a couple of years ago and built my own using some of your ideas here. I have since purchased a small teardrop camper with a dry galley kitchen. The previous owners built shelving which worked for them and their equipment, however, not for mine. I remembered this video and the bungee cords locking down your equipment. Great idea and I will be using the video again! Great build and great Channel! Thanks!

Beautiful build! Probably the best I’ve seen and one I’d like to try building for myself. Thanks for the close up shots of the fine details

Nice work. No unuseable waste, a lot of practical details. It's all what you need for outdoor caming.👍

Beautiful. This could hold its own in an art gallery.

Excellent craftsmanship! Built a chuck box 30 years ago but your kitchen is a whole other level. Brilliant work.

i can imagine two porters carrying this in the old days of overlanding,. very nice thanks for a closer look

Nice setup! The flight box hardware and the stainless sheet top are both very nice touches. Very well thought out and well executed!

This is brilliant! I love the bungee cords that fit neatly in the cut outs to keep things from bounding around. I love your pots and pans with the detachable handles and the deep set doors with storage

This so reminds me of my grandfather traveling kitchen for camping. It was so awesome.

Beautiful camping box!

Amazingly, beautiful, elegant solution! Well done mate 😊

I LOVE the extra space at the back. That was always my main complaint about this style of chuckbox: by the time you add the cooktop you really don't have that much workspace. This is a great design with so many nice touches. I'm going to make a near-perfect copy for my own setup, thank you so much for sharing!

Prob the most organized chuck box. Everything has it's place and not crammed in.

Finishing my box this week, just in time for camping trip next weekend, thank you for the inspiration!!! It has been a fun (90% of the time), learning experience (100%).

Great work and interesting information! Thanks!!!

Even if you had a travel camper, and a floor to counter space recess to tuck this into, you could in deed relocate it both indoors and outdoors with fairly relative ease. Thus, it could be used inside the camper trailer or outside when it is great weather and not be troubled about it getting buggered up by foul weather. Even if were deemed as a bit heavy to carry, you could also adapt some wheels just like on a table saw frame to roll it towards the doorway, but then off load it.

Brilliant bit of kit. Great craftsmanship.👍

Beautiful workmanship, hi from down under 👍

Fantastic job! Such a functional design, which will make life very easy on the road. Love it.

Awesome build!

Remarkable organized & will be good for all camp trips, kept right along other gear! WOW!!

This is really nice. Would even be nice for day trips. You can make some elevated meals on that thing! Nice work!

We have the same Tefal pan set and put a cloth between each on to prevent scratches while we are travelling in our van

Awesome kitchen setup! Love seeing everyone's rendition of there own kitchens. Just posted a video of our setup. Love this. Super cool.

Awesome work mate

Awesomeness you did an excellent design congratulations on your incredible design thank you for sharing Many blessings to you

Today I saw a camp kitchen box that reminded me of our Boy Scout kitchen box from 60 yrs ago But we did it better & most important, simpler But this box is a work of art

Nice work. Everything you need for a road trip.

Very nice, you must be happy with that setup.

Just amazing, you did such a good job. You thought of everything even wine glass holders.

Really well done- I haven't seen another one like it and I have seen many in my pursuit to find plans. Love your demeanor, too, style-wise great video. Thank you for sharing the dimensions and links.

I love your chuck box! So many great ideas from your bungee cords with the little slots that hold them in place to all the fold out bits that allow for more table top area. I am amazed that you use real crocks rather than the lighter weight (and much more inferior) aluminum products! I suppose if you use this chuck box regularly you would also want to use real pots. Now as I plan my own chuck box I will plan for real supplies over simple/cheap aluminum crap.

Now that's what I would call a very nice camp kitchen! Great job OnO!!

Hello fella, you've just made my year. I've been looking for an idea to kit out the back of my forester for weekends away and mate that kitchen is right up my street. I live at the lower end of the country and am doing my best to entice my wife to explore this country of ours together. Thank-you for your amazing video. Total admiration from the South of England.

Presiosa me encanto muy ordenada y con los utencilio de cocina lo principal tienes mi voto latin

Excellent design/work, thanks for sharing!

Nice Chuck Box build!

Great video, I'm not handy with tools, but my son is so I'll show him this and some beer tokens! Thanks for sharing :)

Many thanks for sharing . well done.

Best one I've seen so far. I hate my plastic containers I use for everything.

Wow what an amazing design. Great job.

Your design was my favorite, and heavily influenced our build. Thanks for the thorough walkthrough.

5 seconds in......that is awesome. Great build!!!

This is brilliant! Well done, I'm going to have a go making one, I don't need one, but am not going to let that stop me haha

Absolutely amazing! Gorgeous....brilliant!

great bit of handywork there mate, nice one

Yes! Finally! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great video! Thanks.

Haha, the thumbnail made it look like it was still attached to the vehicle while it was unfolded. Going to try to build something like that for mine.

Great kitchen 😉🙏 Well done

best chuck box Ive ever seen

Much nicer than the old Boy Scout patrol boxes!

I love this idea. Great job

Nice job girl.. I use a bag and kitty litter on my bucket.. works well..

This is awesome! I wouldn’t say it’s a DIY though. It’s too nice!

Might do this for bbqing or picnics cause knowing rona u don’t trust the bbq outside and they never clean them nice build

Wow. That is incredible!

Wow. Wish I had a blueprint for this!

Excellent build. We love it!

That's cracking looking, well done👍😎👌

That is sweet man , Planned out just right good job.

Genius! Many good ideas here.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Very nice work! I bild one out of a aluminum box and now live is so much easyer.

Awesome job man! Very well thought out!

Very nice work and concept!

That is remarkably similar to the one built by Lance from Lance’s Workshop RU-vid channel published in 2013. It is indeed a very nice setup .

Well done! I like your clever ideas.

Mate....! This is nice , very nice.

Very sharp nice set up

Very nice work! Store bought camp boxes across the pond are ridiculously pricey as well

really nice work. wow

Not even 2 minutes into the video, and I’m fucking blown away at how bad ass this is.

Beautiful work, thank you.

Mate, fantastic video. I have been one of the guys waiting for a review for months hahaha, (also a plan asker) Luckily I went and found a South African company that builds something similar, Hectic Leisure kitchens are the boys. Not as big, and I do still have to use the extra box for pans etc. I think I'll build one like urs eventually. Great vid as always mate.

Looks nice I was going to make one a couple of years ago. I stopped because I do not want to get a hernia lifting it.

Nice mate!

This is amazing.

Nice build

It is beautiful.

Beautiful job, sir. I want the coffee pot. We made our own patrol boxes in Boy Scouts. Not as nice, obviously.

This is Brilliant! Would love to make it one for me, similar to this one. Love it!

It's beautiful

Yes this is the one I will build.

You need a can opener in one of those draws.

Nice setup!! 👍 One of the best I've seen yet
