So, what kinda patrol box do you have?

>>2831792
Whats with the oversized corkscrews?

>>2831848
nta but they are stakes for turf or spongy ground

>>2831878
The only correct answer. You don't need to lug a 200lb oak box out with you camping.
I get it, its probably for an RV/camper, truck nuts, or a cabin. But most of us broke ass nikas aint got that kind of cash.

>>2831880
They are a fun DIY project, and will outlast a plastic box by a factor of 10. Mine isn't anywhere near as complex as the ones in this thread. I just made a flip-top box I can store my kitchen stuff in and which is strong enough to use as a bench. pic unrelated.
I'm not shitting on your choice, though, because I use them for storage.

>>2831881
I really like the idea of an all in one camp kitchen/storage box but for now the plano box and a camp table will suffice.

>>2831881
>and will outlast a plastic box by a factor of 10
They are also about 100x much more expensive.
And 100x heavier.
Plastic box is the best box.

And I am shitting on your choice, because I'm right and you're wrong.

Kinda joking, they are quaint but way too damn heavy. I'd maybe build one if I had a cabin to go to for weekends/a few days or something, other than that, nah.
I'm not hauling it on my back and if I have to be next to the car to use it, I'll just store shit in the car in totes, bags, whatever.

>>2831887
The wood I used was all free salvage. Do you use rain gear, a tent and tarp, or just bring trashbags?
You could shed a lot of weight and expense by just using trashbags.

>>2831887
>because I'm right and you're wrong.
Nah, you're just cherry picking applications and setting your own usage as the standard. It's egotism, that's all.

>>2831781 (OP)
Is this a chuckwagon without the wagon? Why?

>>2831911
because the wagon is a car now

i think its cute, a little frivilous but cute, quaint.
the kind of thing you wheel out a few times a year because you know its the kind of thing your father would have done.

congratulations americans, you really fried my eurofag brain ITT. do you guys really bother carrying (by car) this stuff into the camp? isn't is too cumbersome and heavy to lift?

>>2831995
Cook for a group of 10 and yeah, you'll know why. Yes, it's for base camp. Yes, you have to carry it to the site. Get over it.

>>2832064
>>2832065
>>2832066
Just stick a folding table in there at this point
Then you can even move it around instead of being tied to the car

>>2832067
>instead of being tied to the car
But anon, the american has a peculiar need to be right next to the fucking car at all times, even in what is an overproduced picnic.

>>2831799
formerky sneed's

why do people insist on taking the entire fucking kitchen when they got camping?
what an insane waste of time, space, and so much unnecessary complications.
When I camp, I bring a bag of trailmix, and foodstuffs that only require hot water to make. For long camping I will dump 3 boxes of uncle bens rice and a taco flavoring packet into a gallon size ziplock bag and take two cans of spam. thats it.
i keep it simple.
i fucking hate fucks who try to cook meals and drag all that shit with them.
only exception if fishing is involved, then all i need is a cheap pan, and a quart of cooking oil. even that is a fucking hassle, scrubbing that pan, and dealing with smelly fish crud.

>>2832064
>sleeping area fills with mosquitoes

>>2832142
okay smart guy if you don't spend all the time cooking and cleaning up afterwards what do you do at camp

>>2832142
why do people insist on squatting in the mud like savages, eating twigs and bugs with a titanium spork when they got camping?

>>2832180
only retards actually go into nature, right? true chads spend whole weekend next to their car.

>>2832238
>next to their car.

Sorry that you're too poor to enjoy nature.

>>2831781 (OP)
>ITT: the castrati fears the CHAD family portable camping kitchen.

>>2832205
this at least looks way less retarded than the heavy wooden ones

>>2832205
>>2832456

Obviously commercial made but sheet metal is going to get dinged and dented to fuck. ActionPacker ought to make a range of plastic patrol boxes.

>>2831781 (OP)
those flowers are fucking glowing

>>2832527
Flowers do be doin' that. It's to attract pollinators.

>>2832008
>base camp
Base camp mainly meaning the parking lot.

Car camping is a type of camping and it's about all these things would be good for.

>>2832067
If you've done a conversion like that with the bed, you don't plan to use that car for anything else whatsoever. And there's much to be said for having everything in one spot already packed and ready to go, rather than having something that moves and needs packing.

>>2832530
i disagree that its only useful for car camping, though its obviously convenient in that situation. if youre camping on some land with a few other families or couples, a larger group just out there bushwacking it for a week or so, I can see this being used. any group bigger than 'just you and your buddies' i feel.

>>2831781 (OP)
gives me nostalgia for back in scouting days but I always found the boxes a hassle. Especially with a bunch of sperg kids in your troop who only want to eat PB&J. Half the time we just made mac and cheese. A big pot over the fire or small stove would have sufficed. And we still had some moron break the one tiny stove we brought by fucking around with it.

>>2833372
>And we still had some moron break the one tiny stove we brought by fucking around with it.
Just admit it, anon, that was you. We all know it was.

>>2832008

Are those Revere Ware pots and frying pan?

>carry a whole fucking cabinet bro
not really useful unless it walks on its own

>>2831977
>plastic cutting board
shiggydiggy

>>2831796
That feature is smart as fuck.
>>2831880
I'm sort of with this guy. I wouldnt even know how to lug that big ass plastix container around. I at first just assumed you leave the thing at a place you frequent. But still nice to look at pieces. >>2832275
are americans reall that poor on average that a car is a signifier of status and wealth and not just a personal choice?
>>2837460
actually pretty hygienic if you plane it, easy to clean, impossible to ruin
When I didn't really /out/ but more like wekend trips, dependent on all sorts of shit and what not I too lives the larp of only natural fiber and materials for everything
plastic is godsent, you can /out/ so much nore thanks to all kinds of synthetic materials its crazy

>>2832064
God, I hate vanlifeniggers so much.

>>2832142
Youre asking why do people cook at home when they can just shove processed slop from plastic pouches or take out bags because thats simpler and easier. Its perfectly reasonable to take shit to cook a real meal with, even backpacking, because its better for your, cheaper, and not much harder or more difficult like your whinging implies. Learning to cook while out is a valuable social skill too, bitches love my backcountry meals.
