I put a flashlight in everything 😂 but I'd go with a hands-free headlamp for this particular setup

A can of gel alcohol. Slow to boil, but good for warming 'readies'. Flexible cutting board or bandana for a clean work area. Fill a spice bottle with bacon fat. A no stick coating for the pan and a flavor boost. Some popcorn for evening snack. Shelf stable and likes bacon fat.

Opinel knife, some of the best budget friendly knives, takes less space than Mora knife which are also great knives. Can opener and weather proof matches.

Nice! Seems like you could fit a small cutting board in the bottom, with a sharp knife. Or, if you could find one that will fit, one of those rectangular aluminum baking trays would make a nice plate. The one I use is about 9x12x1, so probably too big for this lunch box. But if you could find one, it would be cool. If not, just fold up a few paper plates and stick them in there. I saw someone do that with a homemade MRE and that is a genius idea. To go along with your spices, a very small bottle of oil, or some of those individual packets of oil would be good for cooking.

You can put a stainless steel cup with folding handles that will fit on bottom of the Stanley cook set. Also cut a green scrub cloth in a circle to fit in bottom of that cup.

I'm a huge fan of STANLEY ADVENTURE GEAR, have been collecting their gear for years. I put an additional cross body adjustable strap (has clips on each end) using the same metal strap rings that hold the shorter hard handle. Having the second strap allows me to either cross body it on my back or adjust it for a Fanny Pack style keeping both hands free when porting my kayak or for a short day hike. I put a multi tool, flat military style Can Opener and a flat Wood Stove w/Waterproof Matches in mine. Also a mini Spatula and Long Handle Spoon. Otherwise my setup is virtually identical to yours! I mainly use mine for Fishing and Kayaking day trips, or a quick trip to our local parks for that easy SUNSET 🌇 COOK UP. WORKS GREAT👍!

I've been looking at the stanley lunch box coffee station videos, but using this box for a small chuck box is a much better idea than a simple coffee station. As an artist and writer, I travel to events and end up cooking on the road often. I'm thinking of tucking a mini kitchen in one of these boxes for my car. I couldn't fly with it, but for road trips it would be awesome. As for extra gear, I'd include a long spoon set. Great for stiring food in your pots and for eating out of backpacking food pouches, a small cutting board, hand cranked coffee grinder, canister for coffee beans. Love your spice pouch, but I agree it is too large. There are little round ones with four or five spices that would have a better form factor for your small box. I'm glad to see the stanley two cup cook set fits! I had wondered about that and feel it is a much better choice than the usual thermos.

Great idea. I have been using a tool bag that has separate compartments for organizing what I take and it has been great for me. I may have to try this, I have an old Stanley lunch box I picked up at a rummage a few years ago for 50 cents and didn't have really a use for it but for 50 cents you have to grab it. Now I know what to do with it. Thanks for your video.

Commenting to help the channel. 😊 Good ideas. I'd add a Swiss army knife and a way to light the stove. I imagine you have water with you too? You could fill the thermos with water to use for making the coffee? Maybe a roll of lifesavers for an after dinner treat, and a roll of tums if the dinner isn't a great one. 😊

Mini folding BBQ combo tool, (spatula fork tong), a #8 Opinel, and a mini grill grate. I been carrying all my camp kitchen items in a large canvas tool bag. It’s rather bulky. I like your set up, more compact. I plan on making something similar. Thanks

Great video...I realized I have most of everything there, just not organized! Thanks!

A lot of the items you have, include extra space. I would add extra first aid, and possibly sanitary or food/survival supplies.

Nice kit. I’m sure you’ll add items as you use it. I think a remote gas stove would fit , a little more stable. Also add one of those foldable wind screens.

Good idea expanding it from just a coffee set up.

Pro Tip: Have you looked into the litehouse brand freeze dried herbs I’ve found them online (and when I say “online” we all know where I’m talking about 😂) but also at wallyworld and some grocery stores. You’ll never have an excuse for not having garlic, ever again 😂

I would add an extra Butane canister. It would fit, laying on its side next to the Stanley Cup in the lid. A little space for some Shortbread cookies……SanJoséBob

Most would suggest a multitool but I love a simple folding knife like the Victorinox serrated “tomato” knife - a slightly rounded tip. I like the French nogent can opener - small & mighty but I guess even smaller would be those flat army can openers…almost the size of a razor blade. Some would put in a multitool like a corkscrew/bottle opener. My favorite utensils would have to be the gerber spoon/lifter/tongs combo or a simple silicone narrow scraper - to get all the last goodness out of a jar. And of course those tiny scrapers for help with cleaning food off before wiping….perhaps with those tiny towelette tabs (size of a large mint) that grow with water.

For 3.99 Ikea sells a small bamboo cutting board that fits and rest on the lid when the box is open. I bought one today.

A lot of guys build coffee kits into the Stanly Lunchbox and they build a roll up table top for the lid. Just a thought.

Thanks I like the concept. I plan to do something similar

Great ideas! A GSI Glacier Cup will nest on the outside of the cookset. Also the green cup is double walled, so if you carefully use a hacksaw to cut at the seam you can essentially separate it into two single wall cups…

Very interesting. I keep a similar kit in my work car. I have the same Stanley two cup cook set and Primus stove. I have instant coffee and creamer, but think I'm going to try the pour over coffee maker. My brother in law suggested a pour over coffee maker after hearing me complain about no coffee maker in a motel room in lost wages last year. I just ordered one of the flask, but it won't be going in my work car. Just in case my boss see's this.

very cool idea, i am playing around with something similar for a work van. wonder if it is worth putting in something like a backpacker's pantry meal. idea being you arrive late somewhere you have a meal pretty much ready to go

Came to post about a fire source. Not surprised someone beat me to it. Great concept Mr. L. This definitely cover a lot of bases!

Wish you reached a larger audience you have excellent ideas for campers and RV dwellers. I shared some of your video's but I don't think the people took advantage of the information all you can do is try. ❤

The spice kit is 10/10 :)) The knife or multitool is on the belt, but I would add some sort of plates. maybe stainless steel ones to use as a pan if needed. I need to get myself that folding drippy thing!

Add a head lamp and some wet wipes. Sugar and creamer

Small cutting board and knife

Couple teabags, small wrapped bar of hotel soap, some aluminum foil folded, one of those sealed cylinders with antihistamine, Imodium, aspirin, couple sugar packets, folded paper shop towel, rolled plastic grocery sack, quart ziplock bag. Sack is in case you find berries or chanterelles or something…

Great ideas. I have a similar spice organizer and had to add a bunch of small spice tins because I use lots of different spices when I cook. I do limit what I bring based on my planned menu.

camping trip - weekend. Packing box - 5 days. But still super cool! 👌

I'm guessing you have seen 'slowbeat' video on his Stanley Lunch box, complete cooking set up. Its called My Stanley Tea Box. He even cuts with the stove in the lunch box.

Not sure what kind of cooking you do when camping but I would include one of those small flexible cutting boards and a mora knife. Maybe take and cut like half a hot pad down and include it. Get the proper material for the hot pad and it could double as a scrubber too. That's just what I would include though. Not sure if those would have use for you.

Looks like a good fishing or overnight box for one I am going to make a tool box into a chuck box thanks for sharing

GREAT SET UP, GOOD IDEAS THERE, ALL U HV SEEM TO WRK FINE...Z

Fantastic video. Gave me some great tips. I bought the lunch box last week. ❤

Very cool, wish I had that back when I work outside. Great job

I'd put one or two of the lightweight IKEA kitchen towels or something similar inside a Ziploc bag. The compressed towels are nice, but nothing beats an actual towel to use as a hot pad, to clean yourself or a spill in a hurry, and they come in real handy in a first aid situation. Plus the extra weight is negligible.

Nice setup. I would add a firebox stove.

Nice idea. Can't wait to see you give it a try. Good luck with your adventure.

So cool!! Love this! Glad I found your channel!

I love the concept, however the stanley lunch box is a PITA to get here at a reasonable cost. Im currently building up somthing similar, just need a decent bilox

Ghee or coconut oil because multipurpose and solid at 80degrees.

I really like the kitchen - box! But what is with some kind of a lighter / matches?

Love it! How about a flatter pan to cook bacon and eggs for breakfast. Otherwise nice kit!

Some sort of cooking oil that could fit in or in one of the spice containers!

Nice 🍻

I’ve always had some kinda lighter in all my small kits or someway to start a fire just a idea

A folding chefs knife.

Put in the other pot from that little pan so your coffee doesn’t have to taste like whatever you cook in the Stanley cook set.

Few different ways to start fires, lighters

😊

Add a g2 nano from firebox.

A lighter and / or matches

The GSI Glacier cups (or Ozark trail clones) nest almost perfectly on the outside of the Stanley 2 cup adventure pot. Put a scrub pad between them and you'll have a solid fit that doesn't rattle. You can take the plunger from a cheap IKEA or Walmart clone French press and it'll fit the inside of either the glacier cup or the Stanley pot almost perfectly. I cut the push rod down, heated and hammered the end flat, and drilled it to accept a split ring rather than keep the plastic knob it came with, but you do you. I, personally, like to have a dedicated kitchen knife for cutting so I don't have to worry about my main utility knife potentially bring contaminated with something and spreading it to my food. If you just need a cheap little paring knife, you can get those minimalist fishing knives in the wally world camp section that will get the job done and come with a low profile plastic sheath. I mentioned the flexible cutting board hack in another comment thread, but I should mention that they work pretty well, even in the field. Having a hard, flat surface to put it on helps considerably, though. Who makes the spice kit?

Verycool

Nice spice kit! Where did you get that?

put a mora knife in there , maybe a can opener

A Knife?

Tongs?

Awsum!!!!!!!!!! “;-)”

☕🤙

You have no place to carry your food. So you have to have another bag/ container for your food

too much plastic

Omg that loud
