I've been searching the site for some ideas but haven't really come up with anything so I thought I would ask for some help. I'm trying to get my camp kitchen whittled down to about the size of an action packer box. Currently were always going back and forth with having far too much anyway re-packing for each trip. Some of the hurdles I have is I have a wife and when she goes well, so does the kitchen sink. If it's just me, a few cans of soup, P-38, spoon and MSR stove or even a MRE or two works just fine. In my younger years I did a lot of mountaineering so everything was carried in a backpack but as times change and I would like to have the kitchen set up and just have to grab it from the garage before I leave.
What would be nice is a box that can fit in the back of a Jeep/Xterra that I can lash down and not have to worry too much about. I mostly prefer to go out rock crawling so weight is always an issue but still enjoy finding a camp site and staying put for a couple days. Our main sources to cook with are the single burner MSR a coleman two burner stove or a dutch oven. We generally do not take them both. Obviously the oven and stove wouldn't go into the box. What we normally include are utensils, dried goods, coffee, salt, pepper, hot sauce, paper plates, small coffee pot, trash bags, paper towel roll etc. This is more for some examples for what my wife would like to make her happy and have more organization so any suggestions especially pictures would be greatly appreciated. We both have done a lot of camping but want to see what some other folks are doing.
