whats a site i can go to purchase a camping box. One where you can store all your plates, utensils, ect.?

Army surplus store.. a military issue ammo case would be pretty cool to use :)
and they aren't all that heavy to lug around .. convenient handle to loop a rucksack or back pack strap through..
