Gear Spotlight: Pecos Outdoor has Perfected the Portable Camp Table
They say necessity is the mother of invention. Such was the case for Pecos Outdoor founder Rick Scheen, who found himself in a bit of hot water after trying to fillet fish on his wife’s favorite backyard table. When that didn’t go as well as he planned, Rick had to settle for completing his task on the top of a cooler instead. That allowed him to get the job done, but it was far from ideal.
Frustrated, Scheen went looking for a better solution, searching high and low for a portable table that was lightweight, rugged, and stable. He needed something that was equally well suited for barbecuing in the backyard, serving as a mobile workstation while hunting and fishing, and acting as a central gathering point at the campsite. And when he couldn’t find a table that lived up to his standards, he decided to build one himself.

Introducing the Pecos Table
Made from aircraft-grade aluminum and FDA-compliant plastics, the Pecos Table is a marvel of modern ingenuity and engineering. Standing 34” in height and with a work surface that measures 38” x 20”, the table provides plenty of room for a wide variety of tasks. But despite its size and rugged build quality, the entire package weighs just 25 pounds. Better still, the legs are easily removed—and neatly slide into built-in storage slots— making it a breeze to carry and store.
Stability comes courtesy of the aforementioned legs, which are incredibly durable and sturdy. Those same legs can extend up to 1.5” in length and are capped with orbital feet, which give it additional traction on uneven ground. This allows the table to be placed just about anywhere, while staying steadfastly in place. It also gives the owner more flexibility for when and where they use it, without worrying about annoying wobbles and unexpected jostling.
Set-up of the Pecos Table is quick and easy, taking less than a minute to assemble and adjust the legs. Once in place, you’ll be struck by the high level of craftsmanship that went into the design and construction of this product. It feels incredibly sturdy and strong—a feeling that is reinforced by its 3,200-pound weight capacity. That’s likely way more durability than you’ll ever need, but it’s nice to know the table can take just about anything you throw at it.
Clever Customizability
One of the things that we love so much about the Pecos Table is how easy it is to customize it to fit your individual needs. The company offers numerous add-on attachments that extend the table’s functionality and add additional convenience. Those items include things like beverage holders, hooks for hanging cooking utensils, and a paper towel holder. But our favorite attachment is probably the utility basket, which has endless possibilities for what it can be used for.
Most of these accessories attach to the side of the table using a simple trigger clip system that doesn’t require any tools or drilling. The clips are so versatile in fact that they can connect anywhere along the outer edge, locking firmly in place in seconds. This has the added benefit of keeping everything close at hand, without taking up any table space.
Whether barbecuing in the backyard, whipping up a meal at the campsite, or tailgating before the big game, outdoor chefs will appreciate the functionality that these attachments deliver. But don’t sleep on the Pecos Cutting Board, which is yet another must-have accessory for the table. Made from USDA-approved plastics, the 18”x18” board comes with rubber feet that hold it firmly in place while in use. It is also dishwasher safe, comes with integrated juice grooves, and is designed to prevent chef’s knives from losing their edge. The cutting board is available in white and black and is sized so that two of them fit back-to-back on the table.
