If every scout has enough gear in his box or bag for two people, then an eight man patrol will have 16 places settings and a number of pots, pans and utensils. He may then use a subset of that supply for backpacking and canoe trips where there are no trailers or patrol boxes. If every Scout has two place settings in his mess box then he will probably use one plate and fork for breakfast for pancakes Saturday morning and one plate for dinner Saturday evening, and then take them both home dirty for his mom to wash. But I digress. The latest version also fits the stove on top under the poles, and has notches for lanterns to slide in to the lower right corner.
The wheel is a wonderful invention. However, it seems that it might be a little difficult to stack a bunch of boxes with ungainly wheels sticking out the sides. Especially in the trailer. We actually use a hand truck with large, inflated tires. You can get one at Lowes or HD. I expect them to last a LONG time so the investment is worth it. I borrowed some ideas from pictures of boxes I saw online and reverse engineered them based on the information I could get. The best part about this design is that it allows a leg to be inserted horizontally so that 4 scouts can carry the box. My design incorporates large bike wheels in the back with easy lift gas spring suspension — cannibalized from old mt. bike , pull poles on the front, handles all around for negotiating tough terrain, and adjustable fold down legs on front for easy leveling once in camp. Work smart, not hard? I think that most patrol box designs are too complicated and too heavy for most Scouts.
If you want them, talk to other troops at your Roundtable or other district roundtable. I am an assistant scoutmaster for a special needs scout troop, and I am looking for a design for a grub box with legs, that I can build myself, our budget is almost non existent and we use almost all of it to offset the cost of summer camp. Looks great but also a little complicated…exactly like a chinese box puzzle! Overall, i love it! im going to suggest it to my troop. We are building chuck boxes and this will be great! Thanks alot!

The two units are shown packed for transport in the left side of this picture. A removable panel that forms the side of each unit can be configured to hold utensils or tools and hung on the side of the assembled workstation. The lids of each unit form the center worktop and shelf. Here is a detail of the way these units pack for transport. They should be large enough to hold all of the cooking gear a patrol needs on an outing. A two burner stove fits into the space between the removable side panel and the bottom unit shelf. No hardware or mechanism for locking the assembly together is shown but it should be fairly straightforward. Let me know what your troop uses for patrol cooking gear.

It has wheels, a tow handle, weights 31 lb and measures 23 x 23 x 37 long. To organize it I went to a local store called The Container Store. They have a large selection of plastic storage boxes. Similar items are available at Wal Mart and Target.
I found one size box that two fit neatly into the bottom of the Stanley box. This leaves about a seven inch depth at the top. I found an under bed storage box that fits the space left at the top of the Stanley box. There is some side room left for a thin box I use to hold knives, forks and cooking utensils. One bottom box is used for food storage and condiments, the other for pots and bowls. The top wide flat box is for frying pans, skillets, serving trays, tongs and large serving spoons. Its all plastic, easily washed out with a hose and kept clean.
Food is separated in its own storage container, everything is organized. There is a variety of sizes of container boxes available to suit your needs. I have used this system for at least ten years and camp out with Boy Scouts at least eight times a year plus hunting trips. This year my troop has finally decided to replace their aging, heavy, broken wooden boxes with my system. The Boy Scouts are happy they no longer have to lug those old 75 plus pound wood boxes anymore. No one has one and the Troop does not own one �� When it gets dark we gather around the campfire, be it pm in January or pm in June. This is just Larry, not a recommendation for anyone. All of our problems with large, heavy patrol boxes was when they took them down off the stack in the trailer or when they tried to lift it to set it up. We use a lightweight table with two much smaller boxes and a cooler that are stowed underneath the table. Actually, I prefer each scout develop his own mess supply box or bag and maintain it at his home.
