Do you mean chuck wagons or chuck pantries? There is an entire subculture of folks who cook this cowboy way and even compete in Chuck Wagon Cook-Off Contests. Chili, roasts, beans, rolls, desserts, etc... Give it a Google.

I made a box a few years ago without any plans. I wanted one container for dishes, pots, pans, skillets, utensils, canned foods, cast iron, etc.
Unfortunately, I made it so big it takes two people to lift or move it around. My suggestion is to keep it manageable in size and weight.
I still use it and once set up, it is great!

I saw a good idea at last scout traing day I went to. The mess was contained in a rolling plastic tool box from a big box store . It organized cutlery and utensils nicely. Also made for easy organized access to other kitchen supplies

I have 6 campfire dutch ovens I use regularly. I keep each in individual, made to size(10;12;14;16") canvas zippered bags which can be bought from Lodge Manufacturing or other suppliers. These bags come with carrying straps which allows for easy carry, and will keeps a dirty pan away from other items when you are traveling. Great way to protect your ovens and other gear. The bags are not cheap, but well worth the money.

I use a Rubbermaid 'action packer' for camp kitchen. It's generally either just me or SWMBO and I, so we don't need too much. The benefit I see in the Rubbermaid bin is the smaller size and rounded bottom fit perfectly in my solo canoe, and it's easy to lash to a pack frame. The smaller size also forces me to priortize what I bring.
When I'm backpacking or solo canoeing I just bring a German mess kit, a mug, and a spork.
