There's a hierarchy when it comes to outdoor cooking. At one end you have toasting marshmallows on a stick you found in the woods, and at the other end you have Kanz kitchens, stoves and pantries. They're as functional as they are pretty and they win the bear resistent seal of approval — no really, that's a thing! There's a cool green seal and everything!

Although you are perfectly able to camp outside without using a full out kitchen, it really makes life easier when you have one. These great pieces from Kanz are aimed to make your wilderness (or even tailgating) experience smooth and a little less like you're roughing it.

Each kitchen or pantry comes in marine-quality aluminum that make it rugged and light, which in turn makes them practical and easy to carry. You can buy just the shell and outfit things yourself or pick one up with a stove (either propane or duel fuel) already in it.

There's also a pantry that's bear proof and sure to make your goodies off limits and will help keep them out of your camp. In addition there's all sorts of accessories like cutting boards and work tables that can be added. They make camping look even more appealing, now if only they could get rid of the mosquitoes!
