What is a Grub Box?

When I was a kid and we’d go on a family camping trips, we took along something called a Grub Box. This was something my dad had made that housed all of the camping essentials. It’s a big wooden box with handles and a drawbridge type door that can be used as a work surface (work = making sandwiches much of the time). We’re planning a camping trip at the end of the month and I thought it would be cool to have a grub box for the occasion, and camping trips going forward as our little one gets older. There are many camping trips in her future, and it’s nice to carry on traditions this way.

So there it is.. I spend about 6 hours on it total, over 2 weekends. It’s made from a couple of different types of plywood, a ton of screws, somce glue, and a few misc pieces of hardware. It’s about half full for now, but we’ll make sure it’s good and packed before we leave for the trip!
