DIY Camp Kitchen Boxes

I’ve seen lots of chuck / kitchen boxes over the years and they all seemed lacking and terribly expensive. So, I designed my own camp kitchen to fulfill my needs and wants at much less expense. Here’s how it came together and how YOU can build your own as well!

Very nice! They are sleek and slim fit but hold a lot. Love the way they hook up easily inside and outside. I would make the legs taller so the fold down shelf is the right height for ground use. I wish you had brought the camera in closer to show the details of the box inside and on the legs. The distant view did not allow us to see the details of shelves, and leg attachments, telescoping feature and what was aluminum, what was steel.

Thank you for the kind words! I'll have to get another video out that shows more of the details.

Years ago I made one out of 3/8 t111. Three legged. It was pretty awesome. Now I’m starting over again. Thanks for the ideas.

Thank you! Glad to help!

I'd love to buy a set of your panniers or buy plans to take to local welder but rather buy from you. Theses are the best I've seen and I have been searching. I look forward to hearing from you. Mt rider

I browsed your other videos and was hoping to see how you pack these boxes on your mules. I love the videos and hope to see you on the trail sometime. I'll be in the Bob this summer out of Benchmark so maybe we'll run into each other. Thanks.

[@user-ez9gy5hd7n]

I'll try to get some pictures for you. Since these boxes aren't bear certified they're not legal for the Bob. And they're too heavy to bear bag!

Nice design! How did you make your shelves adjustable? I have a set of aluminum camp kitchens designed by Grizzly Morgan outfitters and made by Koffler boats. I like them but I'm trying to make them better.

[@mjremy2605]

Koffler boats shows pictures but no prices. Look into 80/20 aluminum construction for ideas. Humble Road van conversions uses it a lot so check their videos on 80/20. There is hardware you can mount that gives you flexibility for additional shelves, and brackets. Frankly, I am not impressed with Koffler boat camp boxes. They look like cheap aluminum filing cabinets and very poor design and stability. Build your own out of wood.
