Good day folks, Ben from Snowys here today
with an all in one camp solution for the camp chef.
It's the Darche Stowaway Camp Kitchen.
You get all this here which I'm gonna run through shortly
and it fits inside this bag here
which is a little bit
over a metre long, 103 centimetres, wide
about 53 centimetres and around
about 15 centimetres in depth.
So all of this fits inside this bag here.
Now inside the bag, you get everything that you see here.
You do get an instruction in here
on how to put it together as well.
We've got a video the setup and pack away, check that out
if you're interested.
Right now, we're gonna run through all the features.
Now this is the unit setup here in front of me in full
and you'll have to excuse us.
It has had a hard life at demonstration unit
in our shop here and it's got a, quite a few dents
and scratches and stuff all over it
but here's an idea of how the unit looks now.
The total dimensions if you take from the edge
of the little basket on the end there right
to the other end of this sort
of side table here, it's about 190 centimetres,
so it's quite long but you don't have
to use everything if you don't want to.
This end table here is about 65 centimetres out
and about 65 centimetres high.
The main bench here, the total length is
about 100 centimetres.
It is 100 centimetres by 50 centimetres deep
and it's just over 60 centimetres of working space
before you get to the tub here
and then this fold up point here is another 50 centimetres
in height from the top.
Working bench height is 82 centimetres
and under that is another little shelf, it's just
over 40 centimetres in height from the ground
but you can adjust that to sit down lower here as well.
So it's only about 20 centimetres above the ground
if you put it on the lowest setting.
And if we come to the top again here, we
do get this light pole here that measures
about 109 centimetres to the top here
so you can hang a lantern up here,
and the whole unit altogether only weighs a little bit
over 13 kilos.
It's made mostly with aluminium.
So this frame, all this frame is in aluminium
with, come on in, bits of steel in there as well.
So the shelf here is steel.
There's steel components throughout combined with aluminium.
This is a plastic or polypropylene I think type tub
that goes in here.
This work surface has got an aluminium type sort
of things, a laminated aluplate or aluminium top surface
so it does have some heat resistance.
Same with the top surface here.
The same aluminium coated so the aluplate stuff.
Now these baskets are steel here
and they hook on a little steel rack
that's incorporated into the lid here,
and the pole here is also an aluminium.
So it's a nice, lightweight pole
with the steel hook on the top here.
Let's jump into the features and the interesting stuff.
We'll start at this end of the kitchen here at the base.
So there is this mesh basket here
that's just the Velcros onto these straps here
and it attaches on to the frame here.
So you could line that I suppose with a bin bag if you like
or just use it as a storage port
but probably an ideal bin bag.
Moving across from that, you
can see we've got this wide shelf here
that is adjustable so you can take that out
and put it down lower and as I mentioned,
that then lowers it down to sort of just
above 20 centimetres of height there,
so got a bit of adjustment.
You wouldn't be able to put a lot of weight on that.
It does have these hooks that sort of hook
over the edge here but you probably wouldn't
wanna be putting more than, I don't know,
maybe five, I say, kilos on there
because it's gonna bend it if they're there.
As we move up from there, you can see we've got a handle
on the front here to make it easier to transport
when it is packed away, and then we come to the top here.
Now you got the work surface on this side
about 60 centimetres wide,
and then you've got this removable tub here
so you can wash your dishes in the unit here.
Coming up to the top here, I have got a few storage options.
There's some little hooks that sort of fit
on the little rail up here
and there's a little, I don't actually know
what this pin's for but it folds out,
but I guess that's another point
where you could hang some things on if you like
and there's five hooks on there,
and there's one thing I forgot just down the end
above the basket at the end here
and there's also storage for a towel here.
So you got a little metal thing.
It sort of pulls out so you can hang your dish towel
on there to keep it dry if you like.
Moving back along the other side
of the top here, we've got some adjustable baskets.
So we can take them off completely if we like.
You've just got little hooks here
and you've got one, two, three, four, five, six adjustment
points where we can hang these on wherever we like.
So depending on what height dish washing liquid
or whatever it is that we wanna put
in there, we can adjust these
and then they can come off completely if we don't want them.
So the side of this, that light pole
that we saw before that comes up to a bit of a clip
and sort of doubles over here so I can hook something
on there, it's not easily gonna fall off
but that allows us then to just hang a lamp in here
so that we've got light right above our cooking
or our working area in the kitchen here.
And the last thing is this sort of side table on the edge.
Now this is a little bit stronger than the shelf underneath.
You can actually put a fair amount of weight
on this one here.
That just attaches to another frame on the end.
You can take this off completely if you like.
You don't have to have this on the kitchen.
It can be just left separate.
So you don't have to use it if you don't like.
They're quite a handy extra feature to have just
to store or maybe to put wet, dirty dishes, I suppose.
Any material, something that's gonna fall through
to the ground where it's not
gonna dirty up your working space.
If you love camp cooking

that's gonna make all of your food preparation just
that little more enjoyable
