I used to do a lot or Black Powder Rendezvous camping. These camp kitchens were in every camp. Usually accompanied by a second (more open box) that contained the kitchen supplies: food stuff, napkins, paper towels, as well as spices and others things. This second box set beside the first in a table or in some cases was purpose built to set below the stove box and the two them had a small low table that they sat on to get the stove to cooking height. I see comments on weight...yup heavy weight. The lightest were purpose built for weight reduction wood skeleton clad with 1/4 Cider on the outside to make up the box and the shelves inside. Thanks for bringing up some good memories.

Fantastic job. Great video too; (straight to the work and no clowning around talking gibberish) - enjoy the camping!!

I love the use of the wood you have on hand. No $100 for a single 4*4 panel you'd be deathly scared to make a mistake on. Simple plywood and some OSB thrown in for good measure. This is a summer project for my sons and I to do. Thanks for the simple idea and design!

Many of the other designs on youtube are too out of reach for the majority of us common folk with minimal woodworking skills and knowhow, and much less tools. You sir, showed us a simple way to do do it and it could even be done with a hand saw, hammer and nails. Thank you!

Outstanding Video, Easy to undertandt, Short, Concise, Straight to the point, No BS. The best is, You can make your own measurements

We used these in boy scouts . Pro tip and a spot on the side for wood legs to angle in a slot added to the sides!!

Great design, and I really appreciate the practical, simple approach to building it. Well done!

I was looking for ideas other than drawer systems to build a kitchen in my suv! I like the drop down door and I can bolt the box into the platform so it can be easily removed. Thanks for sharing this.

That was pretty nice, I can't believe that all of that stuff fit inside---

When I was in Boy Scouts of America, we had several of these in our troop, but they were probably twice the size of yours. GREAT

Very nice! Perfect size for my grand caravan. Thank you so much. 👍

[ptrombley]

I had to view this twice because it was good! One of my camping wish list & or a peppers survival kitchen. But need one that I could store canned goods in too! This project reminded me of The Pampered Camper guide by Bill Riviere!

That is the cutest little Ryobi drill. I've never seen that one before.

Awesome video. I'm looking to build my own chuck box after spending my whole scouting life around them and this was insightful. One question though, why did you use nails instead of predrilled and using screws?

[nmartin]

Awesome piece!!! Thanks for the great idea and presentation!!!

[chrisholds]

Great box! Thanks for the straightforward video.
How did you determine the placement of the shelving? Did you place everything on a table as you'd liked it packed and then take measurements, or did you build it and then get items that would fit the various cubbies?

Could you make this with 1/4” plywood? Lumber is so costly right now, curious if it will hold up at that thickness
