My Compact Car Camping Kitchen! [VIDEO]

I’ve done a video about my full car camping kitchen (see here), but I take much less on my shorter trips. When all I want to do is boil water, heat up soup, and do minimal meal preparation, this is the gear I take. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Here’s the list of gear, in order as shown in the video (including Amazon affiliate links):

  • The bin is a $5 bin from Walmart.
  • Pink plastic plate. I don’t remember where I got it.
  • Tiny frying pan. Mine is from Walmart. Here’s a comparable one on Amazon.
  • Roll for disposable utensils. I made it.
  • Fuel canisters
  • Stanley pot set with lid and mugs
  • Stove
  • Collapsible bowl. I think I got mine from Walmart years ago. Here are some cheap ones on Amazon in the same vein.
  • Torch lighter
  • Wind screen
  • Salt and pepper shaker
  • Bag that holds the utensils. I make and sell these here.
  • Knives, potato peeler, spatula, metal utensils, pot scraper
