I was in Boy Scouts for many years as a kid, and a number of years as an adult leader when my son was in the troop. One of the things that always drove me nuts was the patrol boxes we used on long term camping trips. They were cumbersome, inefficient, hard to carry… Lots of issues. I decided to make new patrol boxes for our troop, which was the inception of this design. Instead of gear for eight or ten Scouts, I winnowed it down to gear for two to four people for this project. The base nests over the box when you’re transporting it, and all the gear you need to prep, cook, eat and clean up lives in the kitchen. Whether you call this a chuck box, camp kitchen or camping kitchen, my camp kitchen design provides a great way to take your kitchen on the road.
Working with the Design
There are a few ways you can approach this project. If you already own camping gear; stove, pots and pans, plates, wash basins; you can check the dimensions of your stuff against the dimensions of my kitchen and make sure they’ll play nice together. If you want to be 100% certain everything will fit, head for Sources. I’ve sourced my gear for you. If you get the same stuff I use, you know it’ll fit.
We’ve also provided the project’s SketchUp file for you. If necessary, you can open, manipulate, and edit the file, adapting it to your needs.
Have fun!
This is a fun project, and an opportunity to get your family involved with something everyone will use on camping trips. Enjoy the journey of building this camp kitchen as much as you enjoy your camping journeys.
