Post pictures of your camp kitchen

Here's the one that I built in the back of my BackPacker. It originally only had a countertop and sliding cabinet doors.

I've never seen a Back Packer. Very nice set up, home away from home so to speak !

I cant tell the label is damaged. I know it's not Coleman

I finally decided my camp setup for my Jeep Rubicon Recon will be an Outback Tailgate Table and a Jetboil Half Gen stove. I sleep in my Jeep with a DeepSleep mattress so I don't want to pack a lot of stuff. I bring an RTIC cooler with my dogs raw food and whatever I'm going to eat which will usually be two ingredient meals only like eggs and potatoes/oatmeal. Or fajitas, hamburgers, grilled cheese. Otherwise I will just survive off of sandwiches. Once I receive the tailgate table and Jetboil I will post a pic. I love all the cool setups, but for me and my dog and maybe one other person I can't justify the cost of some of these setups. I can't sacrifice the space. Oh and I hate to cook and clean up at home so I can't see doing elaborate meals on the trail.

Don’t have a good pic at the moment but this is basically it, the grill sits on the tailgate, my cooler sits under the tailgate with the prep table on the side with a wash sink.

One of several kitchen configurations I use. I like this one when I know I'm cooking a larger meal for more folks, as it gives me more galley counter space. I usually put the chuck box and stove up on the left end of the counter. This lowers it to a more comfortable, normal, height for cooking, too.

I love having my entire cooking setup contained in the one chuck box (includes stove and most often used dishes and sauté pans and lids), so I can take it in the van if going away from camp for the day, or use it on the trailer tailgate for a quick lunch stop when running the big road.

This setup is also great for when I want the entire counter (almost 8' long) for working on any number of projects or for laying out gear, etc when I'm set up as a photography bunker.

I can see why you need a van and a trailer. It's your home ! Very nice.

Here is the basic kitchen that my son Joey and I used for our Mojave Road trip. Really basic.. just that single burner, 2 coolers and a little cookware. We did eat well, though!
This year will be the year that I really tighten up the gear that I pack.

From what I have seen here, those Camp Chef Sherpa Tables look great for a minimalist camp kitchen. I like the idea of the soft side storage bins that are included.. I can't stand it when things rattle around! The roll-top folding tables, too (although, my great big table is way handy and fits nicely in the back of the 4Runner).

Thanks for all the inspiration, these posts are great.




Oh, and I couldn't resist posting this photo from 2011.
The '59 Apache that I had and the start of a kitchen setup..

I have been assembling a very modest setup for camping in my Jeep with my dog. So I currently use a DeepSleep air mattress for Jeeps along with their window screens. I have a small RTIC cooler, but wish I could run a fridge. I use my Outback Trailgater table to prep food to be cooked on my Jetboil Half Gen single burner. I have not used this whole setup yet, but it’s going to be my minimalist camping setup while in Moab in 3 weeks.

I like simple but it's harder to do than some think. Simple means taking only things you KNOW you will need. It dosent account for the many things you COULD need that you THINK you will need. Confusing huh ? ( KISS ) :-)

I'm a planner and very much a minimalist. At work, I'm an IT Engineer.. it's in my DNA to think of all the bits that will be needed for a task.
Making a salad one night? You are gonna want a bowl. No salads planned.. no bowl.
(you should really eat a salad, though.. green is important! ha!).

I just rely on logic, it works for me.

The last couple of times out I've worked to refine my kitchen pack.

This is what I'm taking out on the next trip (this weekend).

8" fry pan
Bowl
Small pot with lid
Salt, pepper grinder, olive oil
Spices: oregano, thyme, garlic salt & turbanado sugar
Assorted coffee & tea
Small camp tea pot
Knife
Wine and beer opener
Serving & mixing spoons
Tongs
Camp silverware roll (service for 4)
Knife my dad made
Half sponge and a little dish soap
Matches (I carry a couple other ways to make fire, too)
4 plates

My goal is to live completely out of the cooler for a couple of days.

Simple and efficient setup camp kitchen. It works well. ;-)

I don't have any pictures of the trailer set-up...but these are from our trip from Texas to the Grand Canyon....just a simple kitchen when we are camping out of the 4runner
