Thread: Tucker box

Just thought I'd share the latest iteration of my 'tucker box'. I've only recently got it 'in one place' before that it was an eccentric collection of woolies green bags, backpacks and loose stuff flying around the back of the landy.
Hoping to get some further ideas, as I'm always open to ideas on what others are using, and any tips you might have.

My camping style is generally swag / basic foods, I don't even have a car fridge (which suits me fine for now). The box contains most of my cook gear, this would normally be supplemented with an esky or bag with dry food fruit veg etc.

Case dimenstions are (Pelican 1600)
External Dimensions: 61.6 x 49.3 x 22 cm
Internal Dimensions: 54.4 x 41.9 x 20 cm
Weight: approx 6kg empty






I carry (from top left, going clockwise):
2x stacked clear plastic tubs - 1 has cleaning stuff (garbage bags, hand soap, wet wipes,scrubbing brush, dish soap, scourer). The other has condiments etc- spices, salt, pepper, sugar, tea, cutlery, egg rings.
Black iron jaffle iron (handles removed)
Red 1L fuel canister - filled with shellite for the...
Coleman 533 single burner dual fuel stove
Blue plastic wash tub for washing up, filled with...
Basic dry foods, pasta, dry meals, coffee, foil, misc stuff (newspaper for kindling), a head torch, a foldable aluminium wind break for the burner and a foldable shovel
7" Black iron skillet
Bagged filter funnel for dual fuel stove
Stanley nested billy can / cup set. Cig Lighter lives inside
Stanley cook pot, has nested bowls, ladle and lids
Not visible, or not packed in this pic- spatula and tongs, jaffle iron handles and a stovetop espresso coffee perculator doo-hickey that lives on top of the fuel container.

Case doubles as a nifty seat / prep bench. Is also dust / water sealed. Would make a nice wind break if needed.

I'll probably lose the folding shovel, as I keep one mounted to the roof rack
I need to find a smallish cutting board to slide in the side somewhere.
I might also investigate a billy can / normal can which will allow the dual fuel stove to nest inside. It can be a bit hot after use which means it needs to be stored somewhere else before it can be packed away (for example roadside coffee breaks). Alternatively a bit of fibreglass blanket which will insulate the hot part from the box and surrounding gear.
Blue tub has sufficient space to hold a few canned goods if needed, with a bit of shuffling around.

Does anyone have any pointers or tips which you've found over the years that you wish to share?

This something that is still a work in progress for me, not having to dig thru gear to find an item is the aim.
This weekend just gone i used a plastic single drawer tub for crockery and utensils and a large plastic tub for non refrigerated food items and other cooking utensils, still need a better system but its getting there.
Also need to duplicate some items so i'm not pinching gear out of the camper trailer for day or overnight trips.
Finishing my storage system and fitting drawers will solve most of my issues with organization.
