And how long does it take to set up and tear down?
What does your kitchen consist of...?
- Thread starter Yuman Desert Rat
- Start date
Whew! It's rough and time consuming! Unlock latches and lift the hatch....kitchen is ready! Full oak cabinets, granite tile countertop, refrigerator, camp chef oven/stove combo, dinner service for four....
If we're staying for a day or two, the FirstUp Gazebo, camp chairs and dinette table come out for the dining room.

Whatever, I cheat. My kitchen is a two burner stove, refrigerator, a sink and a microwave.
That door on the left leads to the bathroom with a shower.
No such thing as cheating amigo - whatever works that allows us to enjoy being out there!
Ok here it goes....
Engel 45 fridge, Partner Steel 3 burner stove. Partner steel aluminum griddle, GSI fry pan, coffee percolator and handpresso. This is (was) my usual setup. Until I added a Snow peak titanium spork and a couple of plates then everything changed.
Last March I attended my first group camping (overlanding) trip to the 2013 Desert Rendzevous and met this guy named Dave aka TACODOC, some of you may know him? He's kind of a big deal around here. His flip-pac contains many leather bound books and smells of rich mahogany. He's friends with Merlin Olsen, you know? ....anyhow, I digress. Mr. Dave welcomed me to the camp and introduced me to the Rendzevous Conspiracy gang and something called an IGT? I thought it was the coolest thing since the one handed fire starter.
Fast forward to OEX 2013. I once again camped out with the notorious Rendzevous Conspiracy gang now known as American Adventurists. Again this IGT thingy just happened to tag along, too. Mr. Dave and the Snow Peak mafia put on a mixer during the festivities and my fate as a Snow Peak junkie was sealed. Fast forward to the present.
My aforementioned kitchen setup is now complimented by a full blown Snow Peak ensemble that I cobbled together mostly from the ExPo want ads and the few vendors that deal Snow Peak.....
3 unit IGT with table extension, two full length slide tables and right hand corner.
Single BBQ BOX.
Baja Burner.
LI stove/hot air balloon engine.
Pot and pan set.
mini cast iron duo set.
Cutting board / knife insert, bamboo and stainless inserts
height adjuster kit with 660 legs
paper towel holder and trash bin
IGT hanging shelf
S.P. torch
Trash bin
S.P chair and 2 my tables
being limited on space (wrangler LJ) I had to invent a system to strap it all together ( some of you may have seen it on the "other" forum) and the rest fits into 2 small action packers. I use this at home and for work functions as well.
Sorry for the run away post and thanks, Dave for kick starting my addiction!! Lol

This is really sad; sad in that so many normally reasonable citizens are succumbing to this abnormal addiction to camping supplies imported from the far east. I've done a little a study on this phenomenon and this is what I've learned. Unfortunately, there is no known cure.

The only cure is.... completing your collection....?

I have absolutely no snow peak items in my kitchen or anyplace else...hmmm maybe I'm not an overlander????
Funny I actually do have one of those courtesy of my friends at Dirt Road Trip; even used it at AR last fall.
