- In this video, I do a quick overview of my kitchen and camp setup, including some custom lighting, gear net, and a ramp I built out of scrap wood and carpet for my old dogs to get in and out of the truck with ease.

I found an adapter that goes from the stove to the 1lb tank 9n temu for less than 2$ so cheap I bought 2 and they also double as a 1lb refiller. Take ur 30lb tank and flip it upsidedown put ur empty 1 lb tank on the adapter. Then screw onto the 30lb tank and wait 2 mins and reverse the process viola!!🎉🎉 enjoy
Nice setup.
Very practical 😉
Thanks. I try to keep it simple and basic. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
Really nice set up! Cool video
Thanks! It's served me well for last several years. I've made some improvements lately so I'll be making a follow-up video sometime this spring. Thanks for watching. ~ Mike
Lots of good info, I keep working on my truck camping build. I need to edit the video to share. One thing I have that I love is a 270 awning, which I made zip on walls for. It turns it into a big truck tent. I am a dog person also, some day when the time is right I will get another to be my travel buddy,
Hi Roger. I'm glad you appreciated the information. The 270 awning looks nice. I haven't seen that design before and I've been wanting to add an awning to my setup. They're great for shade on hot days. I'd imagine the zip on walls shield you from wind and bugs. That sounds like a worthwhile mod. The dogs are great traveling companions. They go on most of my adventures with me and they're great heaters on cold nights! Thanks for watching. ~ Mike
Man that Lifetime table. Let me tell you. I searched all over for a table that would fold small enough but also be tall enough, with no wood or pressboard components (moisture proof). I found that same Lifetime but in black. Had to drive about an hour to grab the last one in stock at a Home Depot a few towns over. I LOVE the height. It also is narrow enough at 4' to be used as a "gear shelf" or table inside my SUV with the bottom leg sections removed. The handle seems like maybe it could rip off, but it hasn't. I love that you made a ramp for the pups.
Hi James. The table has been great! Compact, adjustable, easy to clean and reasonably priced. I ended up adding another one to the setup recently so I have more counter space to work with. I had the same thoughts on the handle, but so far, it seems to be pretty sturdy, but we'll see how well it holds up with continued use. The dogs love the ramp. They really like being able to get in and out on their own and like I said in the video, it really saves my back. One of my dogs, Benjamin, is a Newfoundland/lab/rottweiler mix and weighs around 100lbs., so I built it out of 3/4 ply and some 2x2's which made it a little heavy, but it's sturdy, with very little bounce in it and it works great. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
Great set up. Very similar to ours. I went with the FR wolf packs as our magma pot set didn’t require more height. And that way my other FR pantry/food bin does not require digging with the 9” height. I prefer easy access/ one layer storage. They do come with a taller lid now but are more $ than a few yrs ago.
I sometimes turn my stove sideways on the end of the table so there’s more surface area for prep/water. I also have a bungee cord across the legs at one end of the table and hang all our utensils in that unrolled pouch. We love the Campcraft Outdoors utensil roll (I had them custom 5 pockets and extra loops for S hooks) - the flap snaps over the bungee “rod” cord. Organizing utensils into one roll-and-go pouch has transformed my camping trips….make one, buy one, try it!
I have used a rectangular shaped zippered bath bag to hold spices and a few smaller /less used utensils in the zippered pouch under the top flap.
Nesting cups/dishes/containers and the smallest toughest French Nogent can opener also help keep things compact.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Sometimes I turn the stove sideways because it does make more room, but it also depends on which way the wind is blowing. The bungee cord across the table legs is a great suggestion, I'll have to try it out. I'm planning on reorganizing/replacing my kitchen utensil bin. One layer storage is much simpler and easier to access. I've been thinking about building a platform in the back of the truck and installing some drawers underneath to store the kitchen setup. That will help to organize things a little bit better. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
Love the dog ramp. My Labradoodle is 14, and she is no longer able to jump into my Explorer.
The ramp has been a great solution for my older dogs. I was lifting them in and out all the time, but it was rough on my back, so I built this to do the work for me. The dogs love being able to get in and out of the truck at will. I built it out of 3/4 inch plywood, so it's a little heavy, but one of my dogs is close to 100 lbs. so I needed it to be sturdy. They seem to like the carpet too. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
Love you 😘
I'm glad you loved it. Thanks for watching!
i think they love you lol @@AbouttheJourney
Hi Mike, love your setup! It looks like you've been out enjoying some great time outdoors, we've been doing much of the same. This video was great and very informative. Love the ramp you made for your sweet dogs. What is/type of the green box sitting in front of the blue water jug that holds your hand-sewn bags? It looks like a great option!
Hi Jody! I'm glad you found it informative. The dogs (and my back) really appreciate the ramp. The dry box is a MTM Case-gard, and is usually used for storing ammo. It was used as a dry storage box for camera equipment during some river trips my sister went on in the 90's (I've had it for a long time) and I've since repurposed it for my camp kitchen. It looks like the company is still around and offers a similar product. It's been a great storage box. Here's the link to their web site: www.mtmcase-gard.com/products/shooting/ammo-cans.html (I also added the link to the description section). Thanks for checking out this video, and enjoy the adventures! ~ Mike
@@AbouttheJourney Thanks so much, Mike. We really appreciate it. It looks like the perfect kind of box for use in the camp kitchen. Have a great day!
Nice video, and there weren’t any commercials
I hope you found it informative. Well, to be fair, the whole video is kind of a commercial. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
update video when?
โอ้ว สุดยอดมากเพื่อน บรรยากาศดูเหมือนอยู่กลางทะเลทราย ชอบมากและน่าสนุก "สมัครรับข้อมูล"🔔 แล้วพบกันใหม่
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. This area is in the Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument and it is quite dry, but due to it's elevation it can get a bit of snow in the winter time and monsoon rains in the mid to late summer. It's very beautiful. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
how do you see through the stuff in the cargo net in your rearview mirror?
In the video, I'm at camp and there are a lot more items in it for convenience of access, items that are usually packed away while I'm driving, but It's an issue sometimes. I recently switched to a bungee net that hugs the ceiling a lot better than the cargo net in the video. Also, I usually have all of the camping gear in the back and that often obstructs the view out the back window, so I use the side view mirrors a lot and pay attention when I'm backing up. I've thought about getting a rear view camera too, but I haven't moved on it yet. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
@@AbouttheJourney Thanks for the thorough reply!
Does your stove melt table?
No. There is enough space between the burners and the bottom of the stove to keep it cool.
You should maybe take better care of your cast iron.
Well, at the time I filmed this video, it had been on many camping trips in the preceding months, so it probably could have used a good scrubbing and re-season, but since then, it has received the love and attention that it deserves. It has served me well since 99' and I highly recommend them! Thanks for watching. ~ Mike
Why carry a 25lb tank of LP? that is fjukin redicolous! A 1lb container will last 2 people a week and are refillable at home from the 25lb tank
Hi Uncle Fjester. I camp most weekends so the bigger tank gets used quite a bit and it hasn't been much of an issue bringing it along. That being said, I do have a smaller tank (10 lbs or so) that I prefer to take with me, but the last time I went to get it filled, it was due for it's 12 year inspection so they wouldn't fill it. I need to stop by the local propane store and get it re-certified. I hadn't considered filling it myself from the larger tank. I'll have to give it some thought. BTW, sweet FJ! I'm a big Toyota fan myself. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
The one pound canisters are getting way too expensive. Best to go bulk
@@jonedwards2107 Not sure if you can get them in the US, but if you Google "propane cylinder for plumbers torch" or something similar you should get some 400gram cylinders that have the same thread..the are taller but thinner than the 1lb cylinder. The 1lb cylinders are about 457gram, so are a touch bigger, but the plumbing ones are about 1/2 to 1/3 of the price here in the UK..
Everyone seems to have metal plates which obviously are very durable, but the metal cools your food especially your breakfast in the AM, I use melmac instead.
The metal plates have served me well since the late 90's. Yes, food can get cold on them but I eat fast, so my food doesn't have a chance to cool down on these plates. Thanks for watching!
They don't blow away....like all my paper stuff. They don't break...like nice porcelain dishes. And they are easier to clean than plastic and are harder to mess up with vigorous application of knife to steak....through to plate 🙃
