My new camp cook equipment carry

[MartinK9]

When I go heavy, I go heavy...

The Red Army Ammo box although Bomb Proof is doing my back in



Whilst perusing YouTube I came across this video:



Now, my local DIY Store is closing down and had these on sale so I thought, why not?













This thing holds more than the Ammo box and is considerably lighter.

I'm still test and adjusting at the mo and it needs a Feild test.

I'll Let you know how I get on.

Be smashing in o.d.

That they would.

that's a great idea mate, that red box just about did for you last weekend, and it completely defeated the table!

you need to find some spice pots that'll fit in the little yellow semi-circle bit now

Good idea Stuart, but I think my food items will stay in the Zarges box for now

Maybe batteries, lighters, matches, plasters etc?

I've often thought you should get one of these, Martin...

That's what the second one is for

[Twodogs]

Nice one Martin

[Mesquite]

That's a great idea Martin. Be interesting to see how it performs

But at least the repair held up for the rest of the weekend... though we didn't really stress it with Martins red box

... If it does well I may well be going to see what the local DIY stores are doing as well

What sort of price did you pay for them?

[MartinK9]

Amazon have similar at £19.98 at the moment:

nice idea martin, I,ve not long bought one of these myself from B&Q, think it was £20. I bought to consolidate all my other tool boxes and keep all my tools together. I did think about it for shrafting, but wasn’t sure about the ground clearance underneath the box, also the wheels are fairly small, I thought maybe swapping them with golf cart wheels or something similar, may be easier over woodland terrain, paths etc. Would like to know how it performs.

Thanks Alan,

Testing them at the end of the month at a North Wood Meet:

Good idea about the wheels.

Better if it was made from Titanium.

I take it you're catering for a squadron !

Nothing a nice paint job wouldnt fix.

I used to use one very similar on paediatric critical care retrievals racked up with all sorts of life support consumables. Very hard wearing. We only broke one in the three years I ran with that team - and I fixed it quite easily.

Thanks Ronnie, useful to know it'll take the knocks.

Nah.... just a few folks... There were 11 of us at this bash but we did dine in style

Nice one Martin, just needs a wee engine now...brap brap

Well, back from this Meet:

http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75616

Boxes worked well, stored loads of extra equipment, covered the ground well into the area were lighter and easier to move. I will be sticking to this system for a while.

[Miyagi]

Now that's what you call a man bag!

...Boxes worked well, stored loads of extra equipment...

You took EXTRA equipment?!

How many boxes did you get, Martin?

[Mesquite]

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stanley-1939...7458662&sr=8-1

Price has gone up on amazon to £34.26

That's what the second one is for

I'm sure they'll drop the price again.
