I made this to solve a camping problem, too many plastic boxes, bread and food getting smashed & not being able to find things. Before the chuck box we had 2 large plastic camping boxes, now we barely need one!!
I made it with 1/2” & 1/8” Baltic Birch Ply, Daddo’s, Glue and Brad Nails.
Below’s a quick video of the Chuck Box.

Cool. Looks both very nice and very functional. Enjoy your camping.

I’ve always wanted to build one of those, now I feel more inspired to get it done before next elk season.

Really nice, well thought out piece of gear.
I know exactly what you mean about the improvement a little organization makes.
I made one a little smaller for my boat and it made things a lot easier.
Nice work.

Nice job. Any excuse to make something or go camping is worth it.

Thats great! We have a VW Camper van. Any chance you have drawings, plans, or a cut list?

Natalie, I don’t, I just measured everything I wanted in the box, then started constructing it. Sorry, but I personally think these should all be custom to what you own/take camping.

@Lance—We had one similar to yours when I was in my late teens. Legs on our box were 1” threaded pipe that screwed into flanges on the bottom of the chuck box, and were stored in the box when in transit or storage. I like the way you designed the base to store on top of the chuck box—clever, clever.

Function and Form. I really like it. Especially like the flip open table and leg storage. Really well thought out.

Real neat, the most organised kitchen camp I’ve seen.
Great video, looks fun.

Very well done!
I especially like how you chose to use the top for a cooking surface instead of a flip down door. (like all of the chuck boxes we had in my scout troop). Also like the way you built the legs because you can “level” the whole substructure before you put the loaded box on top.
