My Camp Kitchen Box

[@michellestratford9753]

I think it's great that you're concerned about the environment. I totally agree about the need for ziplock bags as well, so I've now switched to the silicone reusable bags. Thank you for some great reminders of what I should pack!😊

[@missaloha808]

I bought 4 of these trunks on sale not knowing how exactly to organize my gear. Just wanted to acknowledge it's genius utilizing the lid for the cutting boards and utensils! Never thought about being able to hang it too. Don't forget an extra cord for a paper towel roll... you're all set!

[@jeannedosterwise8460]

Not sure if anyone said this... because i have not read it (Commits) but use your grey water for campfires or water the plants. Plants can filter the water.

[@kellstat]

This was a good mr. Roger's walk through.

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you

[@darlenedavis8690]

Love how you modified the lid of your "kitchen locker". I never would have thought about doing that. GREAT idea! I got many new ideas from your video. Thanks!

[@sonsoflibertyoverland]

Love the idea of the shock cord on the lid to store things. My dad has the smaller plano bin like that and going to do that on his for the cutting board. Thank you!

[@unclebillscamping]

It definitely will save some time and make it easier to find things

[@goostador]

Great job and love your organization. Pro-tips that I took today: Ball resuable cups, your plano bin, your lid can be hung for easy access and shock-cording to the lid 👍👍

[@rosskilpatrick934]

Yes thanks for some excellent ideas for my camp kitchen box.

[@unclebillscamping]

No problem and thank you for the kind comment

[@osivkos]

Very helpful video with some great ideas I hadn't thought of ! Thanks 👍🏻

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Cool setup! I like it!

[@jmbnorth]

Very helpful. Thank you. Ordered me the trunk. I been looking for an affordable solution. 👍👍

[@donaldbollman1049]

I used to lug a heavy chuck box by Camp Mate and decided to change to a kitchen box a couple of years ago. Mostly use Stanley cookware and a no name hard anodized pot set. Keeping the stove in the box is a good idea. One of the biggest issues with camp stoves is if spiders get into the gas tubes and make webs or egg sacks. Just some thoughts. Thanks for your video.

[@richardwood4305]

Watched this twice. Great job on explaining your setup. I am looking forward to seeing more.

[@karinechungseong3369]

Thank you, very helpful and I learnt some pretty tips.

[@bradleybarker9633]

Lid is awesome . Great idea!

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you

[@dadcochran852]

Enjoyed your video. Definitely going to check into a few items mentioned. You should toss a box of press n seal in there. My wife introduced me to that stuff and ever since I stopped using cling wrap. My self I still lug around my workhorse two burner coleman white gas stove. Use to have a three burner and I regret getting rid of it when wife and I downsized when we became empty nester.

[@jailbaitandtackleoutdoors]

New follower and still watching this video. Thank you for sharing. I like the approach of packing in vs packing out of the box.

[@barbshubert9667]

This was very useful. I’ve been camping over 30 years and I learned some cool gadget / ideas that would make camp cooking easier. I ditched the paper goods and have gone to all reusable. I bought the Sea to Summit Delta plate and I really like it. Not a fan of metal plates. Food cools off too fast. Also, thanks for the heads up on the Eureka stove and Jetboil. I didn’t know that. I have the original Jetboil I bought in ‘07 and it goes on every camping and backpacking trip with me. I’ll check out the stove (I too have the two burner Coleman) anyway..thanks for sharing. Very useful information and video was well orchestrated.

[@unclebillscamping]

I use the sea to summit delta bowl in my hiking kit. I will checkout their plates. Thanks

[@JimBasham-f9f]

Great info. Thanks

[@unclebillscamping]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sherpa41]

I like the under-lid storage with shock cord. That Yeti box with the organizer sure is nice, but too $$$ for me!

[@unclebillscamping]

Sometimes it better to just do it yourself and customize it to your needs🤙

[@FloridaSalon]

Very nice.

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you

Hey! It’s the midweek escape artist!

[@angiebarnard1059]

Lovely video. So nice to see your goals to get less waste. 🥰 I’m gathering with the same goal. Thrift sores are full of wonderful options.

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you and yes there are all sorts of good finds at thrift stores👍

[@deniseyoung5385]

Yes! Great idea! I have been thrifting stainless steel pots for cooking on my new camp stove… so much savings $$$ plus it is much better than those pots being thrown into an icky landfill somewhere. I have also gotten some great reusable items at second-chance retailers like HomeGoods and Ross at very reasonable prices, especially when you take into consideration that you no longer have to buy the disposables over and over again.

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Love thrift stores!! I can wander around in them for hours...

[@deniseyoung5385]

Great tips and ideas! I love storing everything in the foot-locker! So sleek and easy to pack for car-camping. I invested in some stainless steel cups, plates, bowls, and silverware (I got the rainbow metal ones, so they’re fancy enough for “Glamping” and so pretty) and I am not sorry at all. They hold up to repeated use, they are thin and lightweight enough to be easy to pack, but really strong and sturdy. Plus, like you mentioned, lessening my footprint is important to protect the nature that I so love to enjoy. Your video is very well done and you presented your ideas in a fun but easy to follow way. I am saving this for my upcoming summer camping trips!

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you for the beautiful comment. I do all sorts of camping but when it’s with my family the campsite is our home and we want it to feel comfortable and easy especially when it comes to cooking. 👍

[@deniseyoung5385]

@@unclebillscamping very true about the campsite being your home. For that time that you are there, it really is your home and it should be comfortable and functional. I’m preparing to take 3 kids primitive camping on a beach that doesn’t have any facilities of any type. I have camped there before and it’s been great, but have never taken kids with me. Add to it that all 3 of my kids have Autism, so it’s extra important to try to keep the comfort and functionality of home while still being able to enjoy the experience of camping and being out in nature. You made some really awesome points about the items you might not normally think of needing, and again, love your video style!

[@joseaubesosierra6323]

Ahora entiendo porque tu mujer te llama Patrick el de las bolsas. Me ha gustado mucho todo lo que llevas y lo bien organizado que lo tienes. Aqui en España hay algunas cosas que ni se conocen pero me has dado muchas ideas. Gracias por los subtitulos en español.

Thanks for the great video! Hey cool thing I just learned, you can refill those small propane tanks from a big BBQ sized tank. Just need the adapter fitting.

[@unclebillscamping]

You sure can but make sure your in a well ventilated area and be careful.

[@trick700]

Great video, talking from experience! 😮Thank you 🎉

[@johnr5545]

God bless

[@abbydiamond2622]

Great that you are eliminating the plastic stuff. I'm going to look for those aluminum cups. That box filled with all that stuff would be way too heavy for me. I have 2 smaller crates which are more manageable for a petite gal like me!

[@CrossFitMehedi]

Great video!

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you

[@Timberwolf191]

Cool video bud! Gave me some good ideas. Could you give the names of some of the more important stuff like the stove name and locker name. Links to where you purchased would be great also. Thanks!

[@IowaKim]

Instead of chip clips, I keep various sizes of clothespins. They are handy for a lot of things and are more compact. I have all sizes, the tiny ones can be found at the dollar stores in the craft section.

[@unclebillscamping]

That’s a great idea, the dollar store is a treasure trove of goodies for camping. I like to pick up disposable batteries and glow sticks while I’m there as well👍

[@Thereal111t]

I’ve had good luck with the green steel brand stainless steel cups. I have 16oz and 10 oz for the kids. Pretty compact. We’ve been using a set in the kitchen as well. They’ve proven durable.

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you for the information I will look into them. Always looking for ways to use less and save more👍

[@roguegypsy7827]

Awesome ideas

[@lgwapo6793]

I love your ideas. I already have one of these boxes and added weather stripping to keep a lil bit more dust out. I love the shock cord idea for the lid. Is that 1/8 inch diameter shock cord? Thanks for the video!

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you and yes it’s 1/8th inch shock cord. I like the idea of weather stripping, I will give that a try. Thanks👍

[@elaine-fj6gc]

The best camp box video I have ever watched!!! Great info.

[@unclebillscamping]

Thank you. The boxes are very sturdy and can be setup just about any way you need them to be.

[@Odins-Dad]

A better alternative to the chip clips is 2" binder clips, they are smaller, stronger, cheaper, and a lot more durable... the only down side is how strong they can be. They might clamp a little too hard for some things.

[@joeplatnick3949]

Great suggestions and advice for a camp kitchen. Nice knife roll..what brand is it?

[@unclebillscamping]

It’s made by a company called chef sac

[@joeplatnick3949]

@@unclebillscamping Thanks and much appreciated. It looks like a quality product and good value for the money-especially with the sale they have going on now

[@cillaloves2fish688]

​@@joeplatnick3949 Have you looked at Temu for supplies? U'd be surprised how economical their prices are... but with some items, you get what you pay for... Good thing you can return things if needed

[@TriHard612]

Look into a FlipFuel adaptor that you can transfer partial MSR canisters between. ~$15 but then you don't have a bunch of half empty canisters laying around.

[@unclebillscamping]

Definitely something to look into although I have an isobutane candle to help use up the old canisters.

[@johncampbell8210]

Love the storage box. Do you have details on the brand and where to purchase? Thank you!!

Dawn The company has undertaken extensive research and development to ensure their products break down easily and do not cause harm to aquatic life or ecosystems. However, it is not recommended to dump it directly into rivers, gardens, streams, and lakes1. Dawn formulas are designed to biodegrade rapidly, aiding the natural processes in the environment. The soap also uses plastic packaging, which is not biodegradable
