Hi,
At the moment im using a Wolf box which is not bad but prior to this i was using a Really useful box which comes in loads of sizes, both cracking bits of kit.
Cheers

For all the DIY'ers out there, I once went on a wannigan google fest and this seemed to be the best of the lot that I'd come across.

Now that is a neat idea for a camp box

Anchor Surplus have a variety of green boxes in alu and stainless last time I was in there (Xmas time!), mostly cookset boxes. Have a look on their website: www.anchorsupplies.com
Usually good value

No connection etc.............well not for thirty years anyway!

Mmm, might need a trip to Derbyshire...

I've been looking at the blue sky kitchens for a long time they look very good in dead but having seen some of the other suggestions i might go and buy something of the shelf. If i had more time it would be a bluesky setup every time

I use one of these when base camping...

Have you got a link for this Simon?

I have one of these in black, which I got in Iraq when I was in the mob. Of course, it didn't come from B&Q! These are grey, they aren't waterproof but they are quite a size and very robust. Mine flew back on a Herc as freight to Qatar, so you can imagine it got knocked about quite a bit! It then got transferred to a Timmy for the flight back to UK, and from there to Germany and then into a Bedford back to camp! It is still sound, and has all of my books in it!

Hang on, that link hasn't worked!

Go to B&Q website and use the search to find this product number: 0000003624944 Big grey box with latches and handle, has wheels to drag it along.

I also use the Wickes/Stanley water-resistant plastic toolbox - one for kitchen gear and one for food

I bought two of these things. The lids come off and unfold into tables.

Ok. heres thinking outside the box

you will have to fill the holes in the botton, tho`

a recycling box?

very strong and just the right size

your local authority will sell them for a few quid.

(I hope your local authority do them in black like ours dio and not some vulgar colour!)

Having a liking for good, strong, waterproof cases (currently, 18 Peli Cases, 8 Outdoor Products Cases and 4 Otter Boxes) I'd suggest the Peli 1600, which makes an ideal Base Camp Storage Case, (internal dimensions: 54.4 x 41.9 x 20 cm).

I just bought the 1600 for this very purpose, here's some photo's of the case, which I collected yesterday.

I like the look and size of this one.

Price is a bit of a reality check.

Just found this site for UK based heavy duty Chest/Trunks at reasonable prices.

[helixpteron]

That's a good site.

Good find, thanks for sharing.

 

[Tengu]

Yup, its got boxes for everything.

Ive a case similar to that Helixpteron, in black.

Even second hand it wasnt cheap.

I use it as a seat in the tent

 

[markheolddu]

I have a fishing seat box, light and it holds lots. They are cheap under £20 and you can sit on them.

I think we may have a winner!
