[@TamNguyen811]

hi. Where did you get that mesh bag with zipper?

[@UltralightNerd]

Hello! Here it is: amzn.to/3bIWCIj

[@JustinVManes]

So RAD that you list EVERYTHING as a link in the comments. Many say they will, few do. You my friend are a real doer! Thank you.

[@rbljackson]

Although an expensive set up (because of the case) I think you have put together one of the most efficient and functional minimalist cooks kits out there for a Truck/Van Camper. Very well done. Ive been going thru a bunch of them looking for ideas. The organizer lid makes this kit really stand out for ease of access to a lot of common items. Very well done!

[@kachiri]

I got a bag of air absorbers that are 500cc and so far... Good! Laster year I had a loaf of bread kept in a bread box, which I wasn't used to doing. I somehow forgot about it and the whole loaf was coated in mold. So I got a container that holds the amount of slices and put in an air absorber... That bread stayed good for a long time. So now, I'm gonna do that with bread whenever I have some.

[@nunyabizness3890]

Man, I laughed out loud and spat out my caramel when that Pelican tote hit the puddle. Didn't have too much cat fur on it, so I popped it back in my mouth and watched the rest of this awesome video.

[@massashimuka]

What i like bout this video is his hand gestures like saying tadaaaan😁😁😁

[@tacodias]

02:00 yes! I have business meetings! Love your narration and style!

[@chriswilson9230]

This kit is awesome. My OCD approves. You may have just shown me how to rethink our emergency supplies for the non perishables box. Thank you.

[@creinicke1000]

I was just browsing.. but the rain issues made me laugh... I don't like camping..( I know.. lolol.. why am I watching? "Just curious") But my point is that real campers do cook in any weather and sleep in almost any condition. My brother in law last week slept in back of his old SUV with his grandson while the rest of us including his daughter and granddaughter stayed in resort condo with my family... They just love it even though it rained every day and night. I think he'd love all of this stuff.

[@terribels]

I love the jazz hands here and there. Also the way you talk about the kit ("Lighter?") makes this a fun video.

[@marioswanson]

I made one for my pop up camper that is actually a 3 drawer tool box. I use the bottom for plates, utensils, and pans. The middle drawer is small stuff silverware, prepackaged coffee and teas, spice jar, and condiments. The top has all prepackaged and canned foods that can be made a camp very quickly and easily.

[@Annon89]

You cooking in rain is perfect. Sometimes you just cook in rain. It’s how ya eat. lol

[@danielconnell5844]

Was thinking this fellow was probably about his business, then he brought out yellow bird and then I knew this fellow was definitely about business!

[@ROBERTRICHDALE]

Nice all in one organized kitchen kit definitely a must have. love it

[@ZombicidalMadMom81]

I live just North of you in South East Alaska, right in the middle of the Tongass National Rainforest so I feel you on the rain; we're used to it up here too. We have a saying in my town that we don't tan, we rust lol

[@Alsam]

Great base for what I am thinking of. I'm building a traveling kitchen for trade shows. Can't use open flame so will sub in a small electric griddle to sear. Love this, perfect for building something I can ship to the trade show.

[@michaelosmon]

Ive had that gsi javapress for like 7 years. Its the best french press in existence imo

[@sarahferguson0]

As a minimalist this speaks to my soul. Brilliant ideas.

[@kachiri]

In the Summer I tried these sachet of Nescafé Sweet & Creamy French Vanilla packets. Tasty!!! And convenient. They are great for bushcraft/camping as I don't really have to add sugar or whitening product to enjoy it. Just heat up the water, dump it in and stir. Simple! And I love simple!

[@LTBRAD06]

This was one of the most interesting vids ive seen haha and great narrative skills made. One heck of a kit.

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

😂😂 Love the rain drop scene - Great innovative idea buddy.. thanks for sharing

[@kachiri]

You know what I'd like to have in a case?! A functional sink. I thought about this years ago. It would be a sink with a water tank & pump and a waste tank, all in a case, for travel or at home. Pull out the tap and have running water (from tank inside case) and it goes through drain, like home sink, into a waste tank that can be removed and emptied. I don't know if anyone has made such a thing, but I'd sure love it!

[@pilgrim5736]

BEST vid; love the attitude. Definitely added to the FAV Camping Vids!!

[@kw7796]

First time here. Man...I love this channel. New fan. Going to watch as many as possible.

[@marcus11619]

your channel just popped up in my feed and was just casually watching when I saw you put your fuel and burner in the minima together. it blew my mind and never occurred to me to stack the canister with the burner and put together in the orange bag. thanks!

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

You said "Wahoo McDaniels"... and for that, I salute you, sir! 😁👍

[@freakyflow]

A little tip on those trying to keep everything small And cheap And long lasting. I don't know about the states But many of the Dollar Store chain in Canada sell the Betty Crocker 6" Cast iron pan that sells for $4 A fair size if you are using a 1 burner for a few eggs...And the tip on a iron skillet as i done with mind And if you have it is a orbital sander..Sand the Iron with 180grit, Then 320, And 400 to finsh.. wash add in your oil to burn ...And you will have a pan that is very hard to have something stick..a quick rinse and cloth everytime since i done it

[@rainbowbgood]

ACtually, I AM in Canada, and I am looking for a small camp pan for a low price.. But, I'll be on a bicycle.. any suggestions for something lighter? I have a handle thingy I can use to grab too..

[@freakyflow]

@@rainbowbgood Sorry i never got back to you I just seen the message 10 months later? lol Anyways There is a fine line from Low price And quality And a lighter weight Steel is lighter weight however i have not seen any in 6" and cheap You could try Sail camping hunting and fishing goods they tend to have low to high cost goods

[@arcticraz2701]

Greetings from Alaska!!! Your video was the deciding factor for a compact kitchen idea. Love the humor, the hand wiggles and of course... "Well I'll just cook in the rraaaiiinnn!" I just ordered the 1510 with organizer and through a company I found, lime green handles and latches to customize it. Durability and size is very important. Need it to hold what I have without wasting space, and the size is perfect for a JLU Wrangler. Love how you showed what you use, how you store it and most important, you make it interesting! Great video! *hand movements as I click send*

[@gingersnapjudy]

Grippy grabby things! Sounds like morning before coffeeeeee!

[@TheHeraldOfChange]

Timestamp 3:20 The coffee press also works well infusing whole leaf teas, flower/herbal tisanes, and also for making herb/spice/flower decoctions.

[@robofan4839]

A hot pad that doubles as a Muppet?! Hahaha! Great, thoughtful, informative, and entertaining video.

[@explored.and.conquered2017]

Very cool setup! Thanks for sharing! First video of yours to see and I subscribed! Mainly because I love your tone and joking manner lol!

[@danbev8542]

Good kit! I put my kitchen in a soft nylon gym bag with lots of pockets. It works great. I changed to Corelle plates & bowls. We bring real ground coffee & use the ‘Clever Coffee Dripper’ with paper filter. It works just like a Melita, but will hold the coffee for more steeping time until set on your mug.

[@davefletch3063]

You always have awesome idea

[@keyhere]

The squirt multitool goes everywhere with me too :)

[@janakujawa1629]

Very entertaining and I love the the hand movements.

[@jvaldez83]

This case is GOALS!!!! 💯💯💯

[@dgriffo1369]

I’m glad I stumbled upon this I have the same case just sitting in a closet I’m gonna put something together today! Thanks

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

Nice set up. Ive seen a couple of those cases at the auction. Ill place a bit next time. God bless

[@kachiri]

"doubles as a Muppet" I love that humour! Not really a fan of The Muppets show. Watched when younger, but there were a few character I did love... Like the Swedish Chef, the old guys in the balcony and Animal.

[@doughunter3967]

when i used to live in vancouver, i made my sliding side door in to a gullwing, it worked well

[@joewyatt2407]

Makes sense. Same weather here in England. If we waited for no rain, we wouldn’t do anything!! Nice job 👍

[@51249ca]

Gore-tex shoes FTW. Can wear them year-round too.

[@bakerwannabe4435]

Great info. Thank you

[@OblongPolkaDots]

I have lived in Seattle most of my life and 1:20 made me smile! I like to tell people that we have 2 types of weather here: Gray and light gray.

[@tradmanmike3360]

GREAT VIDEO IDEA! THUMBS UP!!!

[@Seiaeka]

*CRUNCH* "Then I cook in the RAAAAIN!" I just about died. XD

[@emilasmith4279]

Wow! Awesome kit. I just put together my survival cooking kit about two weeks ago. Wish I had seen this before I did that. Already planning some upgrades and replacements based on your video. Thanks so much for the links! I’m also working on making my new suv a survival on the go vehicle complete with bedding. Definitely going to check out your other videos. Speaking to my heart. Many thanks!!!!!!

[@peterevans8194]

I live in the UK where it rains 12 months of the year, but never felt the need to cook in the rain....I mean, yes I have cooked or brewed up while it's raining, but always found a way of getting some shelter...Now here's the spooky coincidence...I have an American Cocker Spaniel and he took likes standing about in the rain and needs to be brought in before he drowns sometimes... Still, I love the use of the pelican case...complete overkill, but very classy indeed!

[@buttabrotha]

I heard "Wahoo McDaniels" and subscribed immediately! Great vid!

[@adelinacravalho7305]

Thanks for sharing , it’s so lovely kit 👍🏽👍🏽❤️👍🏽👍🏽

[@mountainsnmoore256]

Nice! I just picked up a Pelican for my electronics while traveling. Now I may have to look for another one!

[@kachiri]

I keep things more simple for food... I have food that I can just cook in the one single camp pot/pan I have. I the Primus LiTech Trek Kettle... I don't get the word "kettle" in the name, but, whatever. It's a 1L pot with a top that is also a pan that can fit an egg in there. Both pieces have fold out handles. It also came with a pouch to store them in and keep the pan/top together with the pot. I have used it alot. Yeah, not only outdoor cooking, but indoor too, as most of the time I cook on my butane camp stove or mini burner (w/ isobutane canister). Just open window a bit and bedroom door to have the fumes go out. The butane for camp stove is cheaper than power from kitchen appliance stove/oven. And the camp stove & mini burner are portable. You won't see me carry the stove/oven from the kitchen around... LOL 🤣

[@purebloodedpatriot9352]

Bomb jazz hands. You win the day!!

[@lacewinglml]

Hello from Tacoma! Heh, yeah while it doesn't rain as much as the jokes, it does rain allot since its.. a rainforest. But since it does rain alot if you want to do anything you just gotta go do it. Some of my best memories is chilling under a tarp listening to the rain with a cup of tea waiting for the rain to clear enough to go for a walk.

[@kimwiser445]

How smart I would have never thought of a ladder!!!

[@daryelthomas9414]

Video made me smile, you did good 👍

[@ErreErre.]

Very good and hilarious video... Cheers.. best regards from Spain..! 😆😅😅😅😂👍👍👍

[@hukmai]

oh my god! That is the perfect use for hardcases collecting dust O.O

[@kj6dwx]

Oh time to copy some items ! My kitchen box has a empty lid, I'll stitch up a organizer to attach! Same with the utensil roll up It's great to have a industrial sewing shop 💕

[@audaniataylor4853]

I fucking love your narration!!

[@otonielantillon9175]

I’ve had a few Astro vans I wish I had another AWD one!

[@clintondavis220]

A damn fine cup of coffee!

[@kachiri]

Speaking of wipes... I have them coin wipes. They're wipes compacted into coin shape... You add a tiny bit of water and it expands, then you unroll/unfold it the rest of the way. They are fairly big sheets too. I prefer to have these wipes not scented or with alcohol/soap in them and just have whatever soaps/alcohol separate to add myself to choose for the occasion.

[@kachiri]

I have a Coleman mini burner for the isobutane canisters. I got it at Walmart. I wanted to get a better one, but at the time with availability and price and rushing to have one, I went with this one. It works good, but doesn't have the built-in sparker, so I just a lighter or ferrocerium rod. I have used it alot and it's still good.

[@dmu9736]

Great idea and thank you for sharing. Practical containers that are compact are the biggest obstacle when packing a portable kitchen. A good meal is essential for morale in any situation. It can make or break your trip IMO. It is easy to gather stuff for a great camping kitchen but you can easily end up with three to four medium-sized totes in no time! Love the itty bitty waterproof bottles and all the ways you made use of them. Have subscribed and will be checking out all your vids. Your humor is essential for viewing these types of vids. I honestly cannot sit through one where the person is just droning on and on. Kudos for good editing.

[@andrewkeeton3627]

Yup that’s it friggin nailed it

[@bikesbeersbeats]

Just use a fishing tackle box. Far more affordable, waterproof, crushproof, dustproof and you have hundreds of sizes and options to fit all budgets.

Salem très pratique bonne chance enchallah

[@habituallinestepper8839]

Nice kit

[@markhines]

That is really brilliant. Wonder if there is a case that’s 50 to 60% as big. Wouldn’t have to be as high end.

[@reneeglickman9524]

your hand motions are great for prestidigitation!

[@1sthawkfeathers547]

You are just so cute. Can I adopt you as my Grandson ? Thank you for the candid information. I love your Pelican !!

[@alanchines]

And you’ve got a MST3K shirt on! Subscribed!!

[@UltralightNerd]

Hah! I’m watching the MST3k live stream on KZbin as I read this comment. MST3k for life!

[@GaiaCarney]

‘. . . and to protect my stuff from the Pelicans’ is what I THOUGHT you said 👀 whoa. Who knew pelicans were a menace to cameras?? 📸 ty

[@theurbancamper9128]

Enjoy the video bro. You got one smooth talking voice! 2Thumbs up

[@UltralightNerd]

Thank you kindly!

[@stephenolaughlin6595]

Great kit I’m saving for future memory. $3.50 vs .20$ for a cup of coffee I gotta try em both. Thanks for such a informative & fun video.

[@paulajuranga9340]

Very interesting. Thanks very much from Spain.

[@remirez2k3]

i totally agree with you about the rain in the PNW as a portlander i understand

[@marcclarke01]

A fascinating and very well done video. Lots of good ideas I had not considered. Thank you most kindly for going to the trouble of producing this extremely well done video.

[@WaganTech]

Nice loadout, thanks for running through it ...just ordered a pelican case organizer!

[@kachiri]

I have a Katadyn hand pump water filter and a LifeStraw. I am limited on money. I got the LifeStraw cheap. For one Summer, our dollar store (Dollarama *Canada*) sold them for just a few dollars, so I got one while I could get it at that price.

[@jalr8413]

Love the energy, video was really fun *and* super informative

[@ladoubleu5534]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your content.

[@chacker21]

You dance the items out of frame...I love that! Really great kit setup, thanks for the ideas!

[@T4LiebeHeike]

Wow very nice.Thanks for sharing with us..

[@UltralightNerd]

Thanks for visiting

[@fredir3596]

First time I’ve seen you on KZbin. You crack me up, had to subscribe.

[@AnnieGill7]

Amazing. I love it!!!

[@jeffcox3544]

Thanks so much for your great ideas You have inspired me to make a large kit like this and a smaller one for my 4-Runner

[@LifeBetweenTheDash]

I'm loving this kit. Never thought to use a pelican box. Nice work!!

[@redkraken23]

That's awesome. I was just looking to build a car travel kit. Great set of suggestions!

[@claycooper5260]

Hey Kads.....thanks for a great reference video. @ around the 1:05 mark, can you please tell me what make of aluminum step platform you are using. I didnt see those in your products link so not sure....But I like the use of them for sure..especially the yellow hand insert opening in the middle......nice feature..........Ill get some........thanks in advance for any infor on your silver platforms tables, etc.

[@dtoillion]

Nice video man, I'm gonna do the same thing with my old pelican case.

[@gingersnapjudy]

Ok... I just started to replay video and picked up something I missed before.. "I have worked in media for years.... " ok that makes sense because I was playing video again just to hear your voice. I'm convinced I've heard it before. Voice over commercials perhaps??? How many "takes" does it normally take to get a smooth read through???

[@Raichle9]

Thank you for this. I have a spare pelican case and I car camp. This is a great set of recommendations!

[@MRTRAVISGILLETTE]

Nice video that gave lots of information, and good ideas. A lot of people in the comment section think so too! The most important thing that I didn't see anyone talk about is your MST3K shirt! We've got movie sign! Absolutely awesome!

[@chandaharkins4418]

Love the organization!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Great kit. My older model of that coffee press didn't pour well. I read others had the same problem. I assume that issue was corrected in later models, but for people considering it, be careful. I switched to Aeropress.

[@pinetree9343]

Coos Bay Oregon is rains 10 months out of 12
