A Tour of Our Overlanding Camp Kitchen Bins
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2018
- We headed to a place called "The Gin House" for a picnic in the wilderness south of Tucson, Arizona. I figured it would be a great opportunity to give a your of the camp kitchen bins we use when we are overlanding or just out for a quick weekend of camping.

These are the RIDGID Pro organizers from Home Depo
* Small Organizer: goo.gl/v7hJ7t
* Pro Toolbox: goo.gl/gK8AUD
* Crate: goo.gl/fPqLTf
There is also a fourth container available, but since the wheels take up so much useable space we didn't buy it:
* Wheelie Cart: goo.gl/ck522Z
Equipment details:
* Kettle: GSI Outdoors Halulite Tea Kettle amzn.to/2AWNQDH
* Griddle: ProSource 20 x 9" Griddle amzn.to/2OXxzBk
* Skillet: 10.25" Lodge Cast Iron Combo Cooker skillet amzn.to/2ATWT8t
I bake sourdough bread, so I have the above combo dutch oven. The 10.25" shallow skillet part is what we bring on camping trips, I think just the "normal" Lodge 10.25" skillet should also fit fine even thought it's a bit deeper: amzn.to/2ATvjrS When packing the bin, the skillet usually goes on second-to-last, _upsidedown_, then we put our 2 12" plastic plates upside down on top of that. Fits like a glove with all the other stuff we have in there.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. The spray bottle is good, I have done that for years, even at home. Personally, I went thru oh so many spray bottles which eventually just end up in the landfill because that spray top will eventually break. This ends up to be my permanent system now. Remember when those little rascals were younger and they used those toddler sippy cups? Well, I'd upcycled those to be my "faucets" and "soapy water faucets". Same difference with the spray bottles except, the sippy don't break. I use LifeFactory's glass bottles (the good thing about these is that you can buy the flat-head caps which keep the bottles leakproof for when we are on the road). And, the "water" bottle faucet can double as actual drinking bottle if we ever run that short on water supply. Your kitchen bin is brilliant. We are still contemplating whether to get your system or the Pelican box ... (I like your system because I could just "roll" my whole kitchen with me and not having to "make" camp). I like the Pelican box because I can just lift the thing to camp. I have a feeling I'll be doing your systems though, I would, however, find a way to organize that giant bottom bin so that I'm not "tossing" things in there (I'm a bit ADHD about that stuff. When I get to camp, I wanna just open the bin and rock and roll ... I think having to "find" things in that bin is an amazing recipe for making someone turn into the Incredible Hulk after having drive hours to get to camp, bug proof the tent area, setup the tent, setup the kitchen table, setup the cots, blow up the sleeping mats, bring all that blankets down from the car, etc. Ya! This bin will solve all that problems). Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.
Just came back from almost a week of camping. Nearly lost my mind from constantly digging for those tiny items in the big bin. This made so much sense
Update: I've assembled your kitchen system for myself & I'm very happy with the results. Looking forward to trying it out in a couple weeks. Honestly, you should put this on OB (like you did your shower system-adopting that too) or ExpoPortal. Here are my observations.
I compared the DeWalt & Rigid Systems side by side.
Waterproofness: Essentially identical. Love it because I can now leave my kitchen gear outside in the rain or even put it in my roof rack if I want. I also think the seals will help to reduce food scent that attracts wildlife-we'll see how that plays out.
Stacking: Rigid system gives sturdy handles that are easy to use and are never going to break-plus they can be used to carry the toolbox when not attached.
Locks: DeWalt's is a little more robust but just isn't as easy to use as the Rigid.
Organizer: I prefer DeWalt's 22" organizer because it has drop down compartments from the lid once opened & this space is just closed off empty space in the Rigid.

Toolbox: DeWalt has a slightly larger tool tray inside & it's position is a little more adjustable. The inside walls of the DeWalt are essentially straight making packing perhaps a little easier. Also, DeWalt has a bigger tool box if needed

Crate: No comparison. Rigids crate won't spill it's items when locked in place. I suppose there might be a setting where you want to be able to reach into the "crate" when it's locked together which you can do with the DeWalt but I prefer the closed nature of the Rigid. In Arizona I bet it's great for letting stuff dry. Honestly, the crate makes all the difference in the whole system for me.

Just as an FYI, DeWalt also has this organizer that fits with the above system, is waterproof & has a clear lid

Griddle: The ProSource Kitchen hg-1101-griddle Professional Heavy Duty Reversible Double Burner Cast Iron Grill Griddle, 20 by 9-Inch, Black is just 1-2mm too narrow to perfectly lock behind the tabs in the back of the toolbox. It sits there well enough though to pack the toolbox and the tray then helps lock it in place. I'm keeping it.

It was your video that made me pull the trigger and buy a rigid organizer like yours to go camping here in Hawaii to keep dirt and rain from my camp gear. I originally was just using some plastic sterlite drawer system. But when I take them camping the rain, dust, dirt, ants, and bugs can get in there easily. When I went to Home Depot to discover that this system is nearly sold out cleared shelves in Honolulu and Pearl City and Kapolei. Upsetting for sure as I only got the roller, the crate, and the 10 Bin organizer. The locking feature is definitely a secure option I always like on any system to keep the thieves at bay and my mind at ease. I’m also now going to add the clear top husky 20 gal red bins as well for camping items as well. Mahalo Nui Loa!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Good video. I am designing and then going to build a Chuck box, and have been watching a lot of these videos to make sure I didn't forget anything. The only suggestion I would have is that you might want to separate the towel that you dry your balls with from the towel that you dry the clean dishes with.
I picked up this exact toolbox a few weeks ago for getting my camping stuff better organized. I really like the wheels on the bottom piece. Makes much easier to move around instead of heavy bins.
I've been using the same cases for a few years now, and love 'em. I use the large (wheeled) one for my kitchen/cooking stuff. A couple of medium sized ones for camp essentials (flip flops, bath mat, cleaning supplies, trash bags, lanterns, spare fuel cannisters, etc.), the other one is for hammocks, tarp, stakes, guy lines, top/bottom quilts, suspension straps, etc. I keep the small cases for extra tarps, cordage, repair tape, etc. and keep the milk crates for automotive stuff. The large one doubles as a seat while cooking, the medium/small ones also double as seating in camp if someone stops by.
I like how you store the gridle.
Hello
Would like to see the you have your loaded. Sounds like you have a great set up! Thanks!
Great way to keep your self organized. We bought the FRONTRUNNER WOLFPACK . Just like you we used to keep everything together in one big bin..... NO A GOOD IDEA. We learned our lesson fast.
Great video buddy!
I use the same cases and they work perfectly. Wow, you travel light. Maybe it’s because I keep mine in my camp trailer, but they are just stuffed. Full size spices, a Dutch oven, cast iron pot and pan, my tray is filled with knives, and stuff. I use the big wheeled one on the bottom instead of the crate. Thanks for the vid.
This is great. I had gotten these for a camp kitchen. Glad I found you for organization ideas. Thanks!
Great walkthrough...those Ridgid boxes are really handy, however I did learn something new as I did not realize that the little pivoting side handles were designed to lock the boxes together - what a great idea, and here I've had my collection of boxes for over a year yet had never discovered that obvious feature 😃 Thanks for the heads-up 😉
Great idea! I have the same gear but with wheels and handle when they first came out at home Depot,filled with my tools. Makes me think about converting to your great idea!
Excellent tip on the HD tool boxes and the power-sprayer.
Great idea I think this is the perfect size for one corner !! Thank you.
Yes those bins work great I use the small one for tie downs and the big wheeled one they make with a small one as a cook box. The wheeled one works great when you have to walk a ways out and the price isn't bad.
Great idea , glad I already have all three . Might have to repurpose my boxes.
Great idea, I like how you did it. Only improvement I see is small organized boxed that are stackable. I've found a lot at like Ross, and 99 cent stores. You've given a lot of great ideas to use. Keep us informed and thanks for the video. 🙂
Awesome set up, thanks for sharing!
that spray bottle is a great idea for conserving water while overloading. great tip!
Super, super helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
Glad it was helpful!
I like how compact your food is, probably not the tastiest food when you go dehydrated but I’m sure everything tastes good out I. The nature. Those Nutella packs and the hash browns are a great idea
I like it, I was just about to order a foot locker for this, but I may steal this. Great idea!! Thanks.
Nicely done. Very helpful. I like the HD bins and the links to handy gear. Good system!
Love the video!! Super simple and quite helpful :) I definitely will be investing in these bins!!
This is something I will seriously consider. Thank you.
I like the idea of using a couple of these for pantry with a Chuck Box.
Thanks for sharing great idea and beats all the expensive bins out there.
This is the best idea I've ever seen thanks for sharing
Perfect music for a Saturday night . We're still working on our setup, too, and just got the Rigid. Sturdy. Testing them next weekend.
2nd time watching this vid, love the stacking bin idea!
Great idea on tool bins!! All of my stuff is in one large plastic tote. Been thinking about switching it all to a very old suitcase that has wheels and an extendable handle. Your cases look much better. Great ideas! Tfs
I’m happy I found your video. I’ve been doing the big bin thing and have been looking for something like your setup. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching! We noticed a major improvement in our organization and reduction in frustration once we switched from one big huge bin with everything to this compartment system. It's so easy to find stuff now
Well back to Home Depot I go. I love this idea and it should work well in my Jeep TJ. Gonna try that spray bottle for dishes. Great video.
Hah, thanks for watching!
Good set up. I currently have the same exact set-up (I'm a handyman) for my tools. Its made by Riggid, found at the H.D the other is Craftman its found at the other large hardware retailer. Great organization.Thx for sharing.
Great video, thanks for sharing
I love the bin idea for sure as they would seal tight and keep dust out in the back of a pickup truck.
Also, those hashbrowns are incredible. We made 2 boxes at home for trial purposes for 3 people and 1 would have been more then enough.
It's surprising how much hashbrown comes out of those little boxes!
Instablaster
We have a very similar setup for our 96 hour kit, except we have the large wheeled base and an additional small box. It is easy for my wife or daughters to get into the car. If driving is not an option, it can be wheels down to road quite easily.
I use the Arm & Hammer Laundry detergent buckets. They do stack but don't lock together.
I even put a spigot on one to carry water or leave it on the roof for a warm shower
Awesome video thank you
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
Graet video bratha...I will be heading to home Depot to put together my setup as well
Brilliant idea! I have been searching for camping gear boxes with some kind of organization or tray. The closest I've found to what I'm looking for is the Yeti Load out. It's nice, but with there were more sizes, and they're super pricey. Never even thought of tool boxes!
Great walkthrough
New Sub here...Yeah, I found those Rigid boxes about 4 years ago and did the same thing only I also got the base box with the rollers on it. I put the heavy items like the camp stove in it along with pots, pans, and utensils in it. The second large box has the pantry in it. The small one is on top and has the same as yours. Very handy set up as these boxes are weather proof. it fits well under my roof top tent mounted above out of the Florida Sun. The rollers make going from the truck to the camp cooking area a breeze as this stuff can be a bit hefty. LOL!
I also use a small one for tools that I keep on my cab top rack and it stays there pretty much year round. Although the orange has faded somewhat with time, it has still remained weather proof and solid. Have a great day!
Thanks for the sub! I think I may pick up another small one for tools like you did, that sounds like a great idea!
I use those too.. They are great..
Great set up. I am looking to downsize our gear and consolidate. This may be an option.
Thanks for this video.
Just sorted camping. I'll definetly copy some of your ideas.
Regarding the clothes pins and open bags, something I use at home is "binder clops". Stronger (metal), last almost forever and they come at least 4 different sizes. You may consider it.
The binder clips is a great idea, thank you!
great idea, im gonna use it thanx...
Have those bins👌👍
Excellent video with links. Thanks.
I like that idea.
I’ve seen these boxes in a couple other videos and wasn’t impressed. Your set up has me adding these to my wishlist.
Good video!
I like where your head is at with those clothesline pins for chip clips. I started using binder clips a few years ago and they’re absolutely the best. Strong hold and they last forever.
Binder clips, that's a great idea! much stronger than the clothes pins
Awesome!! Very helpful, long road trip or a day on mount lemmon, great idea!! Thanks for sharing
Glad you found it helpful, Tim, when we gonna get together for a trip!?
Brien Wankel we definitely need to plan something!! Wish I could get the time off for Mexico, but probably not. Hows the planning coming?
The important bits of the planning are pretty much done. For a lot of the trip we're gonna play it by ear as far as route goes once we get over to La Paz. I think I may head to to Mexico with my buddy Waka in October to get the paperwork all completed for insurance and my driving permit. I still have to buy my ferry ticket from Topolobampo to La Paz, maybe i should figure that out this week... hmm...
Absolute genius.
Thanks for this. These look like a MUCH more affordable option to Roam / Pelican cases. Going to swap out all my shitty storage systems for this on Monday!
Great job Brien... well presented
Thank you kindly!
I've duplicated your setup and added a fourth case, sir. Thank you for the idea as it is an absolutely perfect system for my Overlanding needs!
Excellent! The cases are so versitile!
Great setup! I'm thinking I'll get this setup to put my hurricane kit in.
Fire bug out kit
Rise of Skynet kit
nice set up...I was recently checking out the apache cases which are like the palican cases but I think thes will work better!
I’ve been thinking of making one of those systems, you got me interested! I may just do it
Very nice video. I'm new to overlanding; just finished up with the essentials: Jeep Gladiator build, recovery gear, first aid, rooftop tent, etc. Now, I'm planning for the camp cooking gear, which I have most of. But the storage is what I'm figuring out now. Your set up, I believe would work for my family as well. I also was lucky enough to acquire a few pelican boxes, but those are reserved for other essentials. However, I really like this set up. Thanks for putting this together; very helpful.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you found it helpful!
Love them to make custom fit cases.
Been thinking along the same lines. We dont have home depot here in Brisbane but may fi d similar elsewhere. When i saw the countryside I thought you were in Australia
I like those boxes and have thought of doing the same, however, they smell really funky. Does that dissipate over time? Love that little syrup bottle! We use those cool spoonfoknives too!
I dig the sprayer for dishes. Gonna use that one.
We have been using Frontrunner Wolf boxes, but this gave me the idea to re-purpose some plastic hardware bins from a hardware case I just threw out to hold stuff inside the Frontrunner boxes.
Thanks!
-M
Yep, they definitely had that "plasticky" smell when we first bought them, and it took a while for it to fade away, like a couple months, if i recall. When we'd get back from a trip, i'd leave them stored with a rag propping them open so they could air out over time. When i open them now I pretty much just smell mexican cocoa in the "pantry" bin and the seasoning oil on the cast iron in the middle bin. The crate never really had the smell since it can air out so easily. One thing i forgot to point out in the video is that the top two organizer bins are also air/water/dust tight which is awesome. One downside to this is that one time i accidentally left a dish cleaning sponge in the dish bin and it got moldy and ruined because it was sealed up and couldn't dry out. oops.
I've been using rigid boxes for camping as well. I took the panel off the lid to create more room. Pops out easily
I love that idea, i've been considering doing that and then attaching a mesh "pocket" with rivets or something
@@SonoranSpaceProgram me too. Like the pelican accessory. I’m going to do it this Spring.
Love this, have you updated at all?
Man that’s an awesome pantry my family is Mexican and your pantry is clowning our camp pantry ... Good stuff!
Going to home depot to get some that's a nice set up!!
Seahorse also make a good crate for gear, comes with wheels and luggage style handle for half the cost of a pelican or roam box
I about spit out my coffee when he said they were just on a day trip! Lol There’s enough stuff there to feed a whole bear family for a week HAHA....and good job covering up those Rigid labels! Wouldn’t want any sticky fingers thinking you actually had power and construction tools in there!
Who makes the skillet/griddle, if you don’t mind me asking. :)
Top of the second box looks like you could squeeze some small items in those voids. Maybe little velcro sacks or something? Not sure how deep but looked like it could be your small condiment organization and/or seasonings.
Yes! I had the same thought and had planned to heat weld some mesh pockets onto the lids of the lid of the small box and the medium box. the medium box has a panel that can be pulled off the inside of the lid to allow for another inch and a half or so of storage depth. I still haven't gotten around to adding the mesh pockets though.
Bins great, obstructed view through windscreen with multiple aerials and guy wires must be an acquired taste!
new 2 ya .. yes great bins
I use Milwaukee have there drawer packout for our pantry
I see your editing is coming along. I note some Swellrunner/Niestat elements but that's a good thing, Funny, tried watching Niestat & don't really care for his content but find the style really makes Jason's VLOGs roll along. Good work - keep it up.
I have been using 22" DeWalt tool stackable tool bins for some gear. Ours have drop downs once opened that have 3 lidded 1cm tall bins as well-great for storage of small items & compactness. I really like the waterproofness & lockability as I feel I can put them outside if I want/need the extra room inside. They also are very carryable with the handle & I love the stacking.
It's funny, I had just been thinking about converting our "kitchen" from a multipocket duffel to those DeWalt cases. I think I may choose the Rugged version you have instead as I really like the "crate" option.
We also use those sporknives.
Going to look into the Idaho Spuds. Might recommend the Snapdragon Pho they have at Costco, it's surprising tasty. My Mom brought it for my breakfast at ExpoWest this year and now I have them at home & work as they are quick & easy (I like to add frozen shrimp when I'm home).
Sprayer is BRILLIANT. Definitely going to adopt that practice.
3 Equipment Questions.:
Really like that low height kettle, can you tell which one it is?
Exactly what griddle is that & where did you get it? If I go with the Rugged cases I want to duplicate that EXACTLY.
What size skillet fits in there nicely?
Thanks!. I just watched this to kill some time and actually found it to be incredibly usefull!!
Thanks! yeah, I decided to "borrow" a bit from Neistat on this one since I knew it was going to be me mostly just talking to the camera. Like you pointed out, i like how that style helps move along the pacing a bit.
Thanks for the Pho tip! I'm definitely gonna go see if I can find some of those. Costco near us used to sell Udon bowls which were awesome, too, but no longer carry them :(
Before the sprayer we were ripping through water so fast just doing dishes every night, which is not a good thing here in the desert where we have a much larger minimum requirement for on-hand water needs. Once we started using a sprayer it was like a life changing moment. We use easily half the water we used to. Another sprayer pro tip: I use it to "shower" as well, here's a thread I posted to Overland Bound last year on my "12oz Shower" process www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/the-12oz-shower-how-do-you-keep-clean.9996/
Equipment details (and some Amazon Affiliate links):
* Kettle: GSI Outdoors Halulite Tea Kettle amzn.to/2AWNQDH
* Griddle: ProSource 20 x 9" Griddle amzn.to/2OXxzBk
NOTE: The exact griddle we have we picked up a Burlington a couple years ago. I took measurements and the one linked above is the exact same measurement-wise and it looks like it's exactly the same one I have based on the photos - just a different brand. Important measurements: You want ~20" x ~9" and just a bit less than .5" thickness. Exact measurements of mine are: 19.75" x 9.25" x ~0.4".
* Skillet: 10.25" Lodge Cast Iron Combo Cooker skillet amzn.to/2ATWT8t
I bake sourdough bread, so I have the above combo dutch oven. The 10.25" shallow skillet part is what we bring on camping trips, I think just the "normal" Lodge 10.25" skillet should also fit fine even thought it's a bit deeper: amzn.to/2ATvjrS When packing the bin, the skillet usually goes on second-to-last, _upsidedown_, then we put our 2 12" plastic plates upside down on top of that. Fits like a glove with all the other stuff we have in there.
Thanks for the info. Your sprayer concept is one of those brilliant ideas that I can totally understand but somehow never thought of - I'm sure it will be camp altering. I'm going through the transition of decades of adventuring alone or with girlfriends to doing it with the kids (I chickened out & didn't do much until the youngest was 5 or 6 as I usually escaped to join my Mom on remote UT/CO trips a couple times a year).
I really like the adoption of the "overlanding" moniker, I used to always have to give this long, unsatisfying explanation of how what I did wasn't really just off-roading or camping but something in between. (I realize it has it's issues but I prefer it to the past).
With regard to gear, I was always pretty brutally spare in the past & after a year or two with the kidsm, I finally realized I needed to embrace the largesse of family camping (might of been when I had to set up a mountaineering & a backpacking tent to accomodate the 4 of us in an established campground I would have shunned in the past but then saw a family roll in and set up camp in a jiffy. Travelling by myself was always about going. Travelling with kids is about taking the time along the way to enjoy the stuff a jaded adult might overlook.
Thanks for the thorough equipment notes. My wife's enthusiasm for camping diminised significantly once kids came along and I'm realizing comfort is the key to her happiness. I was surprised how much I liked your setup as it had elements I could totally appreciate but hadn't considered. While I like the DeWalt 22" boxes slightly more, that crate is way better than the DeWalt version & the Rugged boxes are WAY more affordable (I had picked up the DeWalt for half price in the past). Also, watertightness is critical as I want to be able to leave them out in the rain which is always a possibility here in the NW plus I am transitioning to more stuff on my roof than ever before and it opens up that option.
Finally, just wanted to say how much I appreciate you taking the time to produce these VLOGs. I really enjoy the family adventure ones and I have found you can always pick up little pearls of wisdom from others. Also, I want to do something similar for my kids posterity but have found the editing time to be too burdensome for me right now - so good for you!
Thank you for the support and appreciation, it means a lot! The editing is definitely a beast, it took forever, like 12+ hours, for the first few, as I get more familiar with the software and my workflow that time is shrinking, but it's still up there, probably 6-8 hours on average. If i spread it over a few days it's not, too bad... unfortunately I usually procrastinate until Sunday evening, so i'm up until like 1am editing to get the videos out Monday morning, LOL. I definitely recommend doing it though, it will be awesome when the kids can look back on this stuff.
I totally agree. Watching Lifestyle Overland & Swellrunner I realized their VLOGs were the best possible gift they could give their kids. I even grabbed a GoPro & at least recorded some material with my Mom on our last two trips. She's 74 and goes remote and solo several times a year. I realized it would be great to be able to show that to my kids when they are older, to eventual grandkids and even for myself to reminisce once my Mom is gone. Anyway, it's fun riding along. Keep up the good work!
Because of your video I went to Home Depot and bought the Rigid stackable tool boxes and bins. Thank you!! Now if I can find that griddle I’m set. Any help on locating one to fit down into the tool box?
Your wish is my command! There are Amazon links in the description under the video for most of the items we have in the bins, here's the griddle one:
* Griddle: ProSource 20 x 9" Griddle amzn.to/2OXxzBk
Pop-out the inner liner from the top and gain about 2-3 inches of storage space.
What kind of camp stove do you use, and does the griddle fit on it? This video is chocked full of ideas. Thanks for sharing!
At the time this video was made, we were using a Coleman Triton two burner and it fit perfect. Currently we use a Cook Partner 18" two-burner and it still fits on that as well. I suspect it will be useable for almost any two-burner camp stove
Thanks, love the boxes
I found a big giant ryobi electric power tool box on the side of the road
That I’m converting to a storage bin
I wish there was a way to post a picture
You guys do travel lite.😁
Have you ever tipped them over or stored on their sides? Curious how everything holds up on the inside and if they stay in place if maybe dropped or stored on the sides as compared to on their bottom. TIA
The top short bin we've stored on it's side (and dropped!) about a billion times. The orange organizers inside connect right up against the top, so everything stays in place perfectly. We've also tipped the middle one on it's side a few times with no disorganization, but i think that will mostly depend on how each person has that one stored. we have mostly large dishes and cooking utensils in there, so they don't really move around much
I would place your emergency gear (poncho, space blanket, etc) in a separate freezer bag.
That's a great idea. Something we can just grab and go
Try binder clips instead of clothes pins (they hold better and smaller),
Love them... wonder how you store them in back of the Jeep so it doesn’t fly around.
The way we had them stowed, they were held against the side by the cooler and bags so they didn't bounce around. They all stack together so they are at least stable vertically
Brien Wankel yeah, I bought two and love them. They’re in the Jeep in between my 5 gallon scepter water can and my gill box. Doesn’t move and stores all m6 camping equipment. Thanks.
Great idea. I’m gonna go get this tomorrow and take something I had back. My only question is I am looking at the links and it looks like the wheel part of it came with a box but I didn’t see it in the video. I was wondering, did yours not come with it or do you just not use it?
Nm I just realized that you don’t have the one with the wheels. Lol
@@adamgordon3609 Yeah, the wheelie box option was too bulky for our needs, but I know a few people who were use it and really enjoy the convenience of being able to roll all the bins around as one unit. I wish we could have fit it in our setup
300+ subs with 3.7k views. Nice. I see 100k+ creator quality and great editing. I'm a follow from now on and I'm calling it now. 100k subs by Christmas
Thank you for the sub and the encouragement! 100k by Christmas would truly be a Christmas miracle... I guess it would help if I get moving a little faster on the final editing of my next video!
How do you haul it over to your site? Is it heavy? I’ve been looking for an alternative and I think this is great.
The great thing is that because they lock/unlock with each other, you can carry them over individually, or if you are feeling extra strong, you can carry them all as one unit
They make one of these with wheels the others will lock onto.
Going to home depot anybody need anything?
Yes lll take a can of monster. 🤘
Yeah can you crab me a 10in telescopic compound miter saw... thank man
Sanity, think it’s down aisle 3 on the 3rd shelf
@@TrapperDcalliou Sold out... Try again after elections.
Do you have a kettle or some other way to heat water??
Yes, we have a small kettle that we always bring with, there is a link in the description
Where do you keep your stove?
We had one of those Coleman Triton suitcase stoves that we would stack along with these cases
That rectangular cast iron pan you have is a griddle, not a skillet. You may also carry a skillet or Dutch oven, but that one was a griddle.
ah yes, thank you for the clarification! griddle!
Where did you get the chef hat decal?
I got it a few years ago at a programming language conference, if I recall, it was the logo of some Japanese tech company.
"once we get to camp we spend all of our time in these bins"- might I recommend that you get a tent...
LOL
Those are the best knives! Can’t beat the price under 10 bucks too
The boxes are stout. I just got a set! I basically copied your setup and added a light source to each box. Thanks.
That's a great idea! What lights did you end up adding?
We ended up adding cheapo style lights into each box. You know... the cheap ones harbor freight gives away or lights we get in swag bags at events. All our nicer main light sources go in our “camp tools” Ridgid tote.
go to home depo for these on fathers day. also they are not water proof js. also 0% insulation
