Basically, having a chuck box in a campsite would greatly enhance a camping activity, leaving campers to focus more on the fun side of camping.

photo-18 A chuck box is a no-nonsense item used to store various camping items, usually camping equipment which are associated with a camp’s kitchen area. Think of it as a “mobile cabinet” in which campers store their cooking pots and pans, eating and cooking utensils, as well as plates and other kitchen related items.

Though commercially made chuck boxes are available, most campers would rather make their own chuck boxes, as not all campers’ equipment lists are the same with every other camper’s. Chuck boxes could be made from components which would ideally withstand the elements, leaving them to serve their purpose quite effectively. Wood and plastic stand to be the most popular materials used in making chuck boxes, as they are quite easy to get, and sturdy enough to make up chuck boxes.

The most basic design of chuck boxes includes an easy to “fold” feature, making it easy to pack as well as unpack. Fold down sides, and fronts, are also among the more common chuck box designs, which campers could utilize as chopping areas. These fold down areas could also cover drawers or shelves where campers could store their plates and glasses and utensils in.Clearwater-Lake-Base-Camp-(9)

Bottom line, the underlying principle of chuck box designs would be to maximize storage space, and allowing that same degree of maximization to the overall potential functionality of the chuck box as a kitchen counter, though this isn’t necessarily so. The principle of easy opening and easy closing also defines the basic design of chuck boxes, as this makes it easy to pack and unpack.

At a minimum, chuck boxes should store the kitchen equipment of campers. From knives to utensils, to cooking pots, chuck boxes could also be made to store personal items like toothbrushes, toilet supplies like toilet paper, and shaving equipment, from the razor to shaving cream.

The general belief about the origins of the chuck box is that it had evolved from the chuckwagon, which cowboys used back in the “good old days”. Grub and chuck are cowboy slang for food, and the chuckwagon stood as the medium in which cowboy meals were sent to them.

 Be it called a grub box, a wannigan, a patrol box, a camp box or chuck box, the whole point of this item is to help outdoor excursions get organized, kitchen wise.
