Camp Kitchen

Project by BamaCummins posted 455 days ago 790 views 0 times favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch

My dad, two brothers and all of our sons try to go camping together at least twice a year. We don’t do much other than sit around the fire, do a little day hiking, but mostly have an excuse to EAT well. On our last trip I mentioned to my dad that we need a camp kitchen to make our efforts more organized and easier. I had planned on buying one of those fold up aluminum type units because that is all I had seen. But apparently this got my dad thinking and next thing I knew he was sending me this website ( www.blueskykitchen.com ) and said we ought to build one instead. Well mom and dad came up for a weekend and now we have a great camp kitchen that should last much longer than those aluminum type.

We made the unit out of red cedar and oak plywood. It’s designed so that you keep all your stuff inside and the unit fits together like a puzzle making a box that you can carry and transport easily.
