EDC Stanley Lunch Box

[@threadthelight]

I too went down the Stanley lunch box coffee kit rabbit hole on YT, and came out with one of my all time favorite camping kits. I made a mini version with the 5.5qt lunch box. Use an Aeropress Go, the same titanium pot to heat water, which stores a 100g isobutane canister perfectly, paired with a Snow Peak GigaPower stove. I even made a diy table! I bring mine camping all the time, to hotels/airbnbs, road trips. Can always have a good cup of coffee or tea wherever you go.

[@yinzology]

That is sweet. Thank you for sharing your comments. It’s a fun rabbit hole to explore for sure. Happy coffee camping this spring-summer!

[@rodporterfield]

This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing and for the culture lesson. I’m a BIG coffee guy and hadn’t thought about making a dedicated coffee kit for my jeep ‘til now. I’ll be back when I get it all put together…thanks again!!!

[@rodporterfield]

Questions: After a brief search, Stanley has a coffee press. A 32 oz metal container with a French press type system. Wonder if it will fit in the lunch box with your wooden table?

[@yinzology]

Thanks Rod! We love Jeeps & think you will have a blast making a coffee kit. We also made a video about the jeep festival in Butler, PA. You might want to check out. Thanks for watching!

[@MyVideosNow]

Holy Smokes! I saw a short today for the first time of one of these, then YT offered up your video. I'm jonesing so hard for this set up! So cool!

[@yinzology]

If you camp, they are a great way to get organized and lots of fun to put together. Thanks for watching!

[@kbangfpv6226]

Gday Thank you for the video helpful I’m going from my tea/coffee edc bag to the lunch box so thank you for the extra ideas Cheers from Down under

[@yinzology]

Oh wow, Australia! Love to visit someday. You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and gday to you mate!

[@ericoquin2614]

I saw this idea a few months ago and had the same experience of no English speaking vids but some great ideas. I plan on putting together a Stanley coffee kit as well, and I am subbing to your channel! Great video!

[@yinzology]

Oh wow, thank you for the sub! We are kinda all over the place and never sure what you will find here. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

Hello there I made a Stanley coffee lunch box and I got the Pupacamp wooden table and dripper accessories from Korea. My stove is Soto windmaster from Japan and have a 1zpresso J max coffee grinder from Thailand and use a V60 coffee dripper made by Hario from Japan and had a bunch of various nesting tins from my camping equipment. I live by Branson Missouri in the Ozark Mountains and can pretty much just go outside of my house and sit by the trees and have a beautiful cup of coffee. I do go Hammock Camping in the woods but won't be able to take my coffee kit because I have to hike in but that's all right I still have coffee in a kind of Bushcraft way. I watched all kinds of the KZbin videos about the Stanley lunch box and just absolutely fell in love. I am a retired welder from Caterpillar Incorporated and made Road building equipment and Challenger tractors but used a plastic six-pack cooler but had a Stanley thermos.

[@yinzology]

Oh wow, your coffee set sounds amazing. I have a close relative who is an iron worker and welder. Thanks for sharing. I love the lunchbox videos also. I’ll be working on another one shortly. Have a great holiday!

[@Amanda-IOK]

Thanks for sharing! We just went through a bomb cyclone and power outage and I used my AOTU backpacking stove for the first time to heat water for Cup Noodle, cocoa and instant coffee. I found it was really fun and easy to use (it has a piezo igniter), and while it's not backpacking season it makes more sense to use it in a portable lunchbox to keep things together but also for the added stability. I already purchased the Stanley Lunch Box so I'm going to build it out with the Ikea cutting board that fits, plus the AOTU mini stove and isobutane canister, and then see if I can also fit my Toaks pot and a camp mug. I also have the Stanley bottle that fits inside so I will add it if it fits with everything else but I'll prioritize the cooking pot and may just keep the water bottle external. I am into efficiency so I'd rather just bring instant packets of coffee and cocoa, and use the rest of the room for cooking gear so I can make a whole breakfast like eggs and toast. Daiso Japan also has those little sardine can aluminum camping pans so I might pick up one of those to put in here for a frying pan. REI has a mini salt and pepper shaker that should also fit into the kit.

[@yinzology]

We love this and hope you are ok! Sounds like you might have got hit by hurricane Helene . Thank you for sharing!

[@whiteb0rd]

The green box with the hinged, drop-down front was for 8mm film cans for home movies.

[@yinzology]

Hey, that’s something we did not know. Thank you for that interesting insight.

[@mwoods59]

I got mine done, I need to finish sanding my walnut shelf. Thanks for sharing.

[@yinzology]

Oh wow, you made your own table? Nice! Thanks for stopping by the neighborhood. Hope you have a great weekend of coffee/tea travels.

[@janmariolle]

Wonderful video. What fun!

[@yinzology]

Thank you 🤗 Jan! We are so glad you stopped by. Have a great day in the neighborhood!

[@TrailBlazer5280]

Boy I miss our lunch boxes as a kid. That little thermos and cup on top it was so fun. You could still get metal ones just like in these pictures but I think at that time metal was a throwback novelty more than anything, so we also had plastic ones.

[@yinzology]

We miss them also. I think they may be coming back. Idk

[@claudiaw9925]

I did enjoy this video. I to have seen the international videos of this coffee Kit and wanted to assemble one for my husband. Once I saw that table top I said I have to start this already. Great video!

[@yinzology]

Hi Claudia, now I’m hooked on the cooking lunchbox kit videos. Hope you had a great weekend and safe 4th of July!

[@dianalund587]

Just saw this video and love this idea. Hadn't thought of it, but I can easily adapt this to my needs. Thanks for the idea.

[@yinzology]

Thanks for watching and we had lots of fun and think you will also.

[@Vikiwastestime]

New subbie--we need a shopping links list! You made me smile and chuckle on a bad day. Thank you!

[@yinzology]

Thanks for subbing and so glad we could cheer you up. Someone else asked for a list. I’ll try and put one together. Mostly Amazon. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[@asherael]

I've wanted to make a steel lunch box tea set, with a little camp stove, kettle, gongfu tea set, all packed into a box like that. I cant bear to pay retail though, so i keep heading to the Red White and Blue Thrifts up Ohio River Blvd and Sawmill Run Blvd

[@yinzology]

That's a great idea! The thrift store on Ohio River was my second home growing up as a kid. That’s where my mom would shop. Then I ended up raising my family in Bellevue on N. Howard Ave. Thanks for watching.

[@jeffhaddox2239]

Dad was a machinist at the Rough and Ready Island Navy base in Stockton. He had one of those round top lunch boxes. He would keep so much paper work and stuff I would tease him it was a work purse. When I started working at a locked institution I carried a small lunch cooler, I then wondered how dad had enough room for food in that little box😂

[@yinzology]

Hey Jeff, what a great memory of your dad. Thank you for sharing and watching! Have a great weekend.

[@kytacomaguy]

Great video!! I'm currently working on my Stanley coffee kit. Nice kit!!

[@yinzology]

Nice, let us know how it goes.

[@Janhartman74]

Nice video! I made a coffee kit from the lunchbox last year. Also can across the videos from Japan en Thailand but never realized the tea ceremony in their culture. I made the tabletop from an acacia cutting board and made a threefold piece. I use it on camping trips but it’s always in my car filled with water, Aeropress and beans. Nice so see more people are doing this now, can’t wait to see some new great ideas.

[@yinzology]

Sweet Jan, thanks for sharing your ideas and for watching. I just watched shoestring Martha make one out of an Ammo Can that I think you might enjoy. People are so creative. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnLdnIyPp65sjdUsi=o0Ap3R_UxQlm3YvR

hi there i also have a 10 qt. stanley lunch box navy blue and i also have a thermos i bring it to work 5 days in a week i put my everyday lunch that's what i use it for maybe when i retire 5 years from now i will use it for fishing here in a pier on cheers from southern california

[@yinzology]

Oh yeah, we would like to see that Stanley everyday fishing box when you get around to it. That would be sweet. Thank you for watching. Cheers!

[@misst1586]

My grandpa had a lunch box like that. I still use a Stanley thermos. I dont have the original. I bought a black vintage lunchbox for my ex back in the day. Classic.❤ I think the kids used lard pails back in the day.

[@yinzology]

Oh wow, we didn’t know lard came in pails. I think we need to get back to the lard days. Thank you MissT for watching and sharing your story with us.

[@littlejimmy7402]

I have been the guy on a float trip who can't sleep past 6am setting up the whole coleman stove and peculator. That is a sweet little kit.

[@yinzology]

Oh sweet little Jim! Hope you are having an excellent trip! Have a great weekend. I’d like to start making a Stanley cook set also.

Japanese tea ceremony practitioners have a portable tea woven basket with a small sized tea bowl,mini matcha tea caddy that nests in the bowl, bamboo whisk holder, mini whisk, foldable tea scoop and decorative silk coaster. You can do outdoor picnic style tea ceremony under fall maple leaves or spring cherry blossoms! I was lucky to buy one vintage set and one new set when I lived in Japan. I like your setup. I also watch the Thai guys who have their lunchbox coffee sets! I must make one too! ❤

[@yinzology]

Oh wow, you have been to Japan. Thai guys? I may have seen them in my search. Now I’ve got trains on the brain and the Japanese make wonder model trains and track. The company is called Kato. Beautiful traditions are the tea ceremonies. Thanks for sharing and watching.

I’m not sure where Dorothys comment went. To answer your question, it’s a 10 quart and the you are correct, the metal grate does not fit perfectly. It kinda sits on top of the pocket rocket.

[@alyssahoffmann278]

When i was growing up in china in the 90s, we had metal lunch box

[@yinzology]

Thank you for sharing. Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Love the idea but $55 for the lunch box that holds just enough for perhaps 2 cups of coffee is a bit much for me, yes I’m cheap and drink lots of coffee lol. I have a collapsable camping bag that’s still small but bigger, has a metal frame to hold it up, a light weight metal top too, is like a mini chuck box that fits more without being huge or bulky and heavy folding flat for storage. That being said you’re video is very detailed and good thanks for all the info.👍🏻

[@yinzology]

Thanks Carmen for the kind words and watching. You may want to check out Shoestring Martha who agrees with you on the high prices. She made one out of an ammo can. Very creative.

[@nicolauscory2065]

What kind of insulation does it offer as far as keeping stuff cold? How many years of carrying it for lunch will it last?

[@yinzology]

This is not insulated . You could throw an ice pack inside but it would not stay cool for long on a hot day.

[@e.astleford3492]

There's a reason that they were called lunch "pails".

[@yinzology]

Pails: "cylindrical bucket," mid-14c., paile, probably from Old French paele, paelle "cooking or frying pan, warming pan;" also a liquid measure, from Latin patella "small pan, little dish, platter," diminutive of patina "broad shallow pan, stew-pan" (see pan (n.)). www.etymonline.com/word/pail

[@abbe1abbe156]

​@yinzology412 I ordered 2 in a teal green color for my daughters. They're Starbucks Korea Stanley lunch boxes. Each box has a liner. In the bottom, we're using three 10 oz thermoses and 2 sandwich boxes for lunch and snacks. For the top we found a slim water bottle so they can still have space to fit a small pouch with art supplies. They love the Stanley boxes so much that they want to take them on picnics. I plan on ordering more for my family.
