Where did it all start?

With an upcoming overlanding excursion in the summer of 2012 Malan realized that he will once again be faced with one of the typical irritants that every over lander and camper faces and that is “what to do with my cooking gear!”. As usual the stove was in one crate, the cutlery rattling around in another plastic container etc. and it was at that moment that he decided: that’s it, something must be done about this inconvenience.

He started looking at items lying around in his garage and saw a metal box with a lid and decided to make a few modifications to it like installing 2 drawers and a 3 burner camping stove and that was the proof of concept. Malan used that on more and more trips while improving the concept for every trip.  I guess one can only improve on a concept so much and before long the skills of a draughtsman was employed which lead to a vastly improved design. The first cabinet that resembles the now legendary Camping Kitchen was made. In 2015 the then Hectic Enterprises was established, now known as Epic Leisure pty Ltd. Since that inspired day in the summer of 2012 new versions and variants of that Camping kitchen has blessed numerous over landers and campers on 5 continents of the world. Hope you are part of the family already or will soon also experience how comfortable and enjoyable outdoor cooking can be.
