My whole Air Force career, we lived my the idea of three Fs. Form, Fit, Function. Your work, everything I've seen over the last few years, use the idea to a tee. Great vid, as always.
laura reminds me of that one kid in art class who always comes up with something totally out of the box or something different. like whenever theres a new assignment, shes already thinking ahead. always an inspiration!
Cool ideas. One tip, put a strip of leather between the two sides of the axe sheath on the edge where the sharpened edge off the axe is. That way the axe won't slip between the two pieces and cut the thread, it will hit the strip of leather instead.
I am constantly amazed at your endless talent. You are young to be called a master crafts person but your talent seems endless. Looking forward to next video. Have a great camper trip.
If I was doing that I would have put small finger holes on the shelf to be able to lift it up, maybe something to 'lock' it in place. I would not have built a big handle in the middle. It takes up space & limits what the top half can be used for. I def would not have put bungee cords on it. I agree with her about everyone making their own to suit their needs. This is how she wanted hers. Cool.
That's because there have been floods on one side of Koln and an explosion on the other side. There's no telling what's next, but when it happens she'll be ready and have lots of people lining up to be her new best friends.
Have you seen the flooding in Germany lately? The rules dictate that - even if you're going for a day hike, pack enough to survive for 3 days. Going on a camping weekend? Pack enough to survive for 2 weeks.
@@paulgrieger8182 I am German. And I also tend to pack twice the amount of stuff than I need. But I have more lightweight stuff and not as robust than Laura‘s cases.
I loved your solution for mounting the ax and shovel. You always incorporate a diversity of methods and media in your builds - there's something for everyone! Hervorragende arbeit, Laura!
That metal tag in the fourth tip😤 Dang Laura you're so good at these logos, typography, fonts, and branding!!! The Makers ❤️ equality for the axe is great as well!

Great tips Laura! If I may add to your tips; I bet a lot of people don't know that closed-head pop-rivets are a thing. They can help a lot when you need a waterproof fastener.
Great video, and fantastic storage ideas. But OMG, those boxes are so expensive, I almost cried a little when you started drilling holes in it. But they’re meant to be used, and you’re making good use out of yours. Have a fantastic trip, and bring back lots of memories.
Oh I love me some good storage box videos! My favorite is the one where the two old TV-carpenters dissect their awesome "anarchists toolbox". Great stuff
Hey Laura. cool build! i love all of your innovative ides! we all stray to get better so i just want to come with an Pro tips from an former leather worker: When you do your stitching (in Sweden we call it shomakersseme(Skomakarsömm) you should cross the needles in the hole to make sure you dont hit the stitch from before. You can also use a edge iron to make a shallow channel for the stitching to sit in to make it look more neat. When you do markings in leather you should wet the leather before to make it more permanent. Keep up the good work! regards from a Swedish DIY believer
@@m.maclellan7147 you could use the back of a knife, or a butter knife. But to get a neat line you need something to run along the edge of the leather perhaps tape a small block of wood to the knife so that the blade always stays the same distance from the edge of the leather.
In the UK our food delivery companies use stacking plastic trays. Because they're so modular and shallow it's easier to put gear in those and keep camp tidy. I have one heavy duty plastic box (which also stacks!) Which is relatively critter proof (the squirrels can be a menace with breaded products). My axe and saw are always both stored inside a box to keep it safe from kids and stop it getting wet.
I use a lot of the quick connect broom and garden implement wall mounts on the inside of my CJ2A for jack, axe, shovel wheel brace so all of them are to hand just in case of an emergency, and that brings me to one important note do you have fire extinguisher's and are they close at hand when driving or cooking or heating the van having a friends home built camper van burn to the ground because of a lack of them made me add two to my vehicle so as I can at least try to put the fire out while waiting for the fire brigade unfortunately he was in the middle of no where on his own so his two year build was no more.
I would love to see Laura playing around with new products out there like vegan leather or something. I saw some made out of cactus and another one with mangos. Seems interesting.
Great hacks, Laura! As for Zarges storage box tips, mine are below :) (1) Three standard size NATO 20 l jerry cans for fuel or water fit exactly into one of these 60×40×50 cm Zarges boxes. (2) Box partitioning elements ideally take very little space and adapt to the shape of their content to avoid dead spaces. For storing clothes and other loose items, fabric or even plastic bags work well for that. They keep the items separate (their only function) and together adapt to the shape of the box while taking near zero space themselves. (3) Short cup rivets (German "Becherblindnieten") can be hammered into shape on the inside with a riveting iron, resulting in a flat and nicely rounded finishing both on the outside and inside of the box.
Good evening Laura, you certainly have hit a home 🏠 run 🏃♀️ with this week’s video and some very interesting ideas for me to think about, anyway you have a great time on your camping trip and I will look forward to seeing your next video and until then TaRa for a bit.
Lots of cool ideas, as usual. And plenty of thinking outside the box (and on top of the box, and inside the box). I did appreciate how the roll of duct (gaff?) tape gets secured with the tools. 😀 Thanks for sharing!

It really is.
Bungee Cords are really a good idea. Thanks!!!
I customized an IKEA RASSLA hanging storage, it’s flexible.
Laura‘s friends: „Hey, let’s go an a week long camping trip“. Laura: Packs gear to survive a major catastrophe.
Hahaha so true

I picked up leatherwork last year and am so happy to see you Laura working with this material! Have a good trip!
I always love Laura's videos. She has a great energy to her. Her creativity is inspiring.
What to say… Laura is a pure genius! 👍 She can works with any material you find.
Awesome, always thinking outside the box!
Ha! I saw what you did there
Love the mods, and Laura's smile.
What's a camping trip for Laura without her pink tape! Classic! Love it!

you are a God, an idol and I think I'm in love with you! 😂😂😂😂 absolute genius 👌👌
I've watched most of your videos, and what I really love is your economical use of materials.
Well done Laura, looks good. I particularly like the 'make it your own' section.
Love the leather work and the brass rivets. Well done Laura!

Youre a visionary. What I wouldn't give to spend a week in your shop with you, my goodness.
Sending you love back! Thanks for all thé smiles
It's cool watching videos of people and their solutions/creations. Can be 10 videos and 10 different ways to get the project done
Really enjoyed your craftsmanship really looks better than retail stuff
Have great time and come back with more fantastic ideas. 😎
Mal wieder tolle Ideen. Vielen Dank für´s teilen. Und viel Spaß und Erholung in Deinem Urlaub!
ABSOLUTE GENIUS!!!! Hope you have a great time on your trip and stay safe!!
Hi Laura,
Is there nothing your can’t make? You are very inspirational ❤️
My favourite idea was using outside ... axe was very clever ... good job ... have fun camping !
Nice job, LK. Classic design using elements of metal-, wood-, and leather-working.
Lucky, I want to go camping, that sounds so good and so relaxing 😀.
Looks like I have some modifications to my chuck box coming in the near future. Thanks, Laura, you rock!

Great ideas, thanks!
Next time you’re sewing leather, run a creaser down the stitching line before you sew. It gives your stitches more protection from abrasion.
Do you need a specific tool to do this, or could you perhaps use the back of a knife to do it ?!
@@m.maclellan7147 you could use the back of a knife, or a butter knife. But to get a neat line you need something to run along the edge of the leather perhaps tape a small block of wood to the knife so that the blade always stays the same distance from the edge of the leather.

Very clever solutions. You always brighten my day.
Very creative, as usual. Have fun on the trip. Thanks for the video.

These Zarges boxes look super cool! Hope to see more projects with these.
Great as always! I gotta get into using rivets, they look so clean

Cool ideas, super talent.
