Using Milwaukee Packout's for my ULTIMATE Camp Kitchen
Вставка

- In this video I show you how I use the Milwaukee Packout system to organize my camp kitchen and create a perfectly organized camp kitchen setup. For years I dug around in bins before coming up with this solution. It's super convenient to have a portable drawer setup that's also modular. You can buy any of the packout options that work for your gear and snap them all together to fit your needs. Whether it's an overnight camp trip or a full Overlanding trip this setup is with me. Let me know what you think!

A well earned subscribe. This idea is not new to me but it is so nice to see someone doing a vid on it and promoting it. I am so sick of all these sponsored clowns pimping $2k slide outs, $1,500 dual zone fridges, air conditioned tents and good GAWD that $300 DMOS shovel (it's a shovel!!!).
Camping need not be all Spartan rehydrated freeze dried chicken and Ranger pudding, but there's a happy medium. We've gotten to the point where people are basically jamming all their suburban creature comforts into the backs of their rigs and calling it "primitive camping" just because they have to take a dump in the woods now and then.....unless of course you buy the Laveo for $1k. Just buy a doggone Airstream and be done with it already. Rant over who wants a bourbon?
Appreciate you watching the video and for the subscribe. I've learned that simple just works better!
A airstream can’t do real overlanding
@@spencermorrow2899 lololol. methinks you missed the point.
I’ll take a bourbon.
Angel’s Envy. Neat. Thanks
Great idea using the Milwaukee setup!! You've given me a few ideas for my rig... One thing I use for cleaning the dishes are 2 pressure pump watering spray bottles (garden sprayers) - one for soapy water and other other for rinsing. So instead of taking the kitchen sink with you, this is the next best thing and it cheap too!
Great idea!
Every time you open the drawer and go right to something, you’ll think, what a great idea the drawers are! Thanks for the video!
Yes! It’s so nice
Great idea! if you wanted to be matchy=matchy, you could get the Milwaukee Packout Shop Storage Cabinet for your pots and pans. It opens from the front.
Ya those are slick
Such a great idea, i was just starting to come up with a draw kitchen in my truck cap. This is a 100% better idea as i can just take it out set in the garage and have full use of my truck box when needed. Like other comments i read, just earned a subscriber!!
Appreciate you watching and subscribing. It’s definitely super slick to have a full drawer system and still be able to pull it out. Will be sweet in a truck cap 👍
I was using the packout products for gear as well. Also used a professional makeup organizer box which had drawers. Was nice to be able to move that to a table and leave it outside over night. My current set up in my 4runner has everything in drawers which I like, but I find that I'm constantly going back and forth to grab items for cooking. I think I need to figure out the in-between. modular boxes that fit into the drawers but can still be left out overnight in the elements. My favorite camp kitchen though is just a ribeye over the fire, a cutting board, and a knife. Cheers!
Love this, dude! 🎉
Great idea with the packout, the only thing I would add or recommend is ANYTHING liquid should go in a baggie so it doesn't end up on everything else, as a secondary precaution, I would tape the tops. If you have ever shipped anything liquid I'm sure you have your own horror stories. Great video.
Great idea and use of the pack out. Recently converted to Milwaukee for my power tools and have been buying some pack out item. Now I can justify buying some more for our camping trip this summer. Really like the drawer unit. Thanks !
Thanks for watching! Careful though... The Milwaukee stuff can get addicting. lol
This is definitely a more realistic camp kitchen kit. Some of the other folks have big budget things but the items you spent more money on are things other weekenders would want to spend a little more onto know they have investing in a quality product. Thanks for keeping it real!
You bet! Thanks for watching
Great idea. Just chuck up a beater in your 12v drill and mix up the pancake batter. 🥞
Great idea, love that packout system, discovered it is available in Australia 👌🏽
subscribed. great ideas here man!
New follower that loved this video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
This is a fantastic idea! I’m trying this 2-drawer PACKOUT in my little ProMaster City camper. I’m planning on getting the wood top for it, and an aftermarket fold out shelf for one side. Since I’m a single camper, this should be perfect for my camp kitchen. Thanks!
Those accessories will make it sweet!
Someone on Amazon offers a flip up table top that mounts to the side of the draw packout. The 3D printed mounting hardware and support arms look good quality but the woodtop doesn't feel like real wood more like fax wood, likely replace it with UHMW for better cutting and cleaning. Arms are to long for my current packout boxes, need to get the drawers as well for my camping setup. I set one of the clear top packout as my first aid kit, used to be an EMT, like being prepared for accidents. Best of luck to you camping. 👍
Sounds sweet! Thanks for sharing
I’m also super OCD and drawers, organizers, etc. are an absolute must. I had started with a toolbox setup, but ultimately built my own wooden chuck box as I found the sidewalls and corner structure take up a lot of space. I have a smaller SUV, trying to build it out to camp in it, so literally every inch matters. So I built the wooden box, totally straight walls, and then got those clear iDesign bins as drawers. They’re super light, thin, and have handles for pull out, on which I added labels on what’s in each drawer. Looking to expand that for a 3-week road trip this summer. Another thing I find important is the colour of whatever system one goes with. Stuff seems difficult to find in black bins. Lighter colours give good contrast to find things as it’s getting dark or things are being put away for the night without always needung a light.
Wow you do have OCD! You’re speaking my language! Love it
Nice setup 👌
Thanks!
Great video, lots of good info. I've been thinking along these lines. I want to get the Project M camper for my F-150.
Project M would be sweet!
Brilliant!
Thanks for watching 👍
This actually a great idea. Made a pullout kitchen in place of 2/3 of my rear seats and its great, but def not enough room for everything. I can put this on top and store all my extra crap. Subscribing
Thanks for subscribing 👍
This is great. I'm shopping for a 4Runner and was worried about how to do a chuckbox. Really digging the modularity of the Packout system. With this same kit I could put my kitchen stuff in a 4Runner whereas right now it is the toolbox of my aluminum camper shell.
Ya it’s a great system for sure!
That's a pretty good idea. I didn't think of that good video bro.
Thanks for watching the video!
Great idea! I would be very tempted to create a kit that includes the work top, the pack-out cooler, and maybe even the M12 work light and USB charger.
That would be very cool!
Cool video. I also use my Packouts for things that are not tools, such as kitchenware, food, and clothing.
Thanks for watching 👍
I’ve been using the packouts as my kitchen in my van. I didn’t want to do a buildout that was permanent so it’s perfect for me.
They work great everywhere! Nice! Thanks for watching
Looks great man, Im on the verge of going Packout for this summers trips and beyond - drawers over bins any day! I know you're loyal to that stove brand, but the Jetboil Basecamp would replace over half that green bin. Been using it for years - it's an unbeatable design.
You won't regret it! Ya the Jetboil is sweet. Very compact.
If you wanted to get and even tighter setup you can get foam inserts and cut them into the specific shapes of the things you're organizing. They make some specifically for the packout
That would be next level OCD. Haha thanks for watching
F L E X is also another good option, if ya don’t like the red.
Love these videos
I just think that's funny that some people have a set up like this just to eat instant meals
Sometimes I’m Gorden Ramsey and sometimes I eat like a toddler. lol
Milwaukee is coming out with a XL box that is a pullout drawer.
it is important to note that as well as it is for using for camping, the packout boxes get very warm in the back of your vehicle, and the side rails can get very hot on hot summer trips
I use the Rigid stackable system for my camping gear. the bottom bin is on wheels so it makes it easy to tow from car to tent. I got the idea several years ago from some doctors w/o borders group that used the Rigid line for their camp & kitchen gear.
Nice! Wheels would be sweet
The rigid version is shorter which will fit under your bed cover. Milwaukee wheeled base does not fit below the cover.
@@Firemandan51 The new one does. 13 months after it was announced
I've got tons of plastic and some metal Craftsman toolboxes i bought at huge discounts all the time as i worked there as an auto tech/mechanic and would always see the sales and got extra employee discounts.
Im not talking about my big toolboxes (but those, too), but handheld ones.
Anywhere from 14"- 26" and one hvy duty metal one with a single hinged reinforced handle, which i kept like 100 lbs of small tools in, like sockets, ratchets, whatever. Large top opening plus it had 5 slide out drawers, and it locked.
Also, I have lots of big, heavy-duty plastic O- ring sealed shooting boxes with big capacities in volume, with swing handles that hold A LOT of weight- made for storing lots and lots of ammo, along with shooting & cleaning tools.
Those seem like they would work - if you rebooght all thise now - if you could find the same quality - it would prob run you well over 1000$
We have some old Craftsman toolboxes in our shop that have been through 4 generations in our family now. Such a well made product.
Was expecting to see the large packout ice chest, because it fits the milwaukee packout theme. It won't stay cool like a yeti, so I understand why you didn't get one.
I hadn't thought of that! Might need to look into that...
Your video popped up in our feed. It's so cool to see I'm not alone. I built my full interior around the Milwaukee 2 drawer slide. That's how much I believe in the products. We, too, struggle for years with this tote that tote....and so on. I'm sure you may have suffered from the same issues forgetting that you don't actually now have to worry about moving stuff to get to stuff. Yes you actually can set something on top since you don't open the lid 😅. Man, that took a little time to retrain my brain.
While for some, the PACKOUT might seem like a lot of money. Not until you price out some of those overland drawer slides named after a bird. Just add a zero behind the price of the 2 drawer slides.
I actually use the large boxs on my roof for all my recovery gear and shower stuff. 100% waterproof. Of course, it's not rated to be put on the roof of a moving truck. Shhhhh.....

I can’t stand bins! 😂 it’s such a horrible way to organize gear. Ya I’m a sucker for Milwaukee stuff.
Also super jealous of your GFC!
@@coleeades Thank you we do enjoy the GFC. When a buddy was helping me with our F350 build he got me hooked on Red after years of owning Yellow. I actually had an issue with one of my PackOut handles. Our local Milwakkee services center gave me great service and replaced the full box under warranty. Red all the way!
My buddy Brain from Toyota Overlanders runs a Taco with a older GFC saw my set up and went with Dewalt Tough Systems for his camp kitchen. Based on size and color for his logos. Sits right behind his passenger set. He also did a add on stackable. Plus he picked up some extra 3d printed plates on Etsy. The Milwakkee can also be found. Great if you want to do any custom set ups.
If you look at our shorts you see a video that says How We Cook In Our GFC Camper. This is my current setup built around PackOut 2 drawer system.
You know if you want a GFC folks buy them abs sell them before they've even had them for a year. You should get on the GFC forum ans look at the For Sale. You'd be surprised. Never going back to a open set up and a RTT. I like having a closed in space. 😊
Next up in the mail are my Blue Ridge Overland Gear / Step 22 software bags. I love packing cubes.
Keep rockin' I subscribed to the channel to see what's next.

@@coleeades Also forgot to mention Lawyer's is also one of your go-to seasonings. Owned my Maryland based company McCormick. Next you have to try Spike.
Nice setup just be aware mosquito spray with deet will melt plastic
Thanks for the tip
Great video mate, got a question for ya
Live in pretty dry area of australia with dusty tracks, how does the drawer setup go with dust/seal ?
I’m not super sure on that one. I run a tonneau cover that keeps things sealed away from the dust. The top case has a weatherproof seal that keeps even water out but I don’t think the drawers do.
@@coleeades roger thanks!
I was actually wondering the same thing. Even with a canopy my Ute fills up with bull dust which gets into absolutely everything. If you buy one @steddywelly be sure to report back in.
@@Alan.livingston yeh I think I’d have to go the sealed ones not drawers unfortunately
Yup i realized these tools boxes are way btter than any of the "overland" stuff
Thanks for watching 👍
Is a Ice cream scoop and wisk needed?
For me yes, whisk gets used often and ice cream scoop gets used when I do peach cobbler with ice cream which is a common dessert I like to do. Plus I have plenty of room for them
Who makes the green bin?
Plano outdoors. This is the medium size but they have lots of options
HAve absolutely considered these for camping kitchen however the cost is crazy
Ya, but it’s way cheaper than a legit built in drawer system. So kind of a budget option considering the fact that you have drawers. But more expensive than cheap walmart bins for sure! That’s what I used to use
My local Facebook marketplace has a bunch of these milwaukee packout drawers for around $100. Definitely worth it at that price
@@MultiElgallero Which country?
Walmart has their more economical version branded “Hart”. Not as heavy duty, but it will get you in the game.
@@Firemandan51 Not in Australia it won't ;). Cheers
Get the Milwaukee top off I use it all the time camping
I honestly thought he was going to show how he had a cooker or fridge in those.
Don't misunderstand me, I too have a packout setup... but they are modular plastic 'storage' boxes. They don't take on the identity of what you put in them.
If you can figure out how to build a 2 burner stove into a pack out I’d be sold. That would be awesome
I’ve been thinking this would be a great way to organize
Important stuff not tools lol
Can use them for everything! Thanks for watching
Great idea but maybe 9 minutes too long. js.
Great idea! The bins feel like such a waste of space because they are so deep and everything lies on the bottom. Milwaukee is very expensive in Australia but I’ll definitely look for a local alternative.
Having drawers is a huge advantage for sure! Hope you can find a good alternative. 👍
