What kind of eating utensils do you use...

[ghostdog]

I think I've asked this before, GD, but what sort of knife is that? It's just the sort of thing that I really like.

Michael, that piece is an Allen Blade Packpal Scandi. I don’t think he has made knives for some time now but it is a good one. I have a few Scandinavian style knives and usually take one of them along for my dedicated wilderness knife. Most of the time I take a more traditional model but this American made knife does go along at times. It was with me on a desert reef adventure. I managed to get a little reading in on that trip too.

As for the original question, I have a set of titanium flatware like you. Mine is Snow Peak. That is what I have used for the last 10 years. Some may view it as old school but I like metal for several reasons and tend to use that for all my culinary wares like cups, bowls, plates and the like.

Backpacking- Plastic Spork, in a pretty big size.

Car camping- either plastic disposable, or stainless steel stuff from our old dinnerware.

OK. Thanks. I'll have to keep an eye out, because that's a very nice looking item.

a nestled two cup with lid by Brunton, just the right size for my fuel cannister/lighter/mini-multi-tool/small strip of scotch brite and a lexan spoon are all I need.

I'm not keen on using plastic utensils because of the BPA. BPA reacts with heat and leaches from the plastic, into your food. I take 3 basic utensils with me - a metal spoon, a metal knife and a metal fork. That's all I need.

We use sporks, one end is a spoon, other end is a fork and a has a serated type edge for cutting. Also, purchased a long handled spoon for stirring.

For dishes, cups we use Orikaso and REI infuser cups. LOVE THEM! Maybe a bit heavy, but the cups keep my coffee hot ALL day. No Joke!

I bring all disposables, except for a few sharp knives. The least things I have to clean, the better. When camping, I like to keep things simple, practical, and work free as possible.

I just have a little pan, my knife and a little metal spoon. When I'm with other people I usually take a couple of extra things in case someone needs something.

My cook set came with a snow peak titanium spork. I love it... It's a fork with tongs that are two short, and a spoon that leaks, but it's still my favorite. It cleans easy and won't break, and I don't have to fling stuff at the BPA whiners.
That and my 15 year old $20 rostfrei folding knife I carry everywhere will get me through pretty much any meal I can inflict on myself in the woods. I do a lot of "freezer bag cooking", (put hot water in a freezer bag with dried food and let steep). Eating right out of the bag keeps me from having dishes to clean.

I carry a knife and fork. I don't bother with a spoon. If I have made a broth or soup I will drink it rather than use a spoon. I don't need many utensils when I am out camping, most of the food I eat doesn't even require a knife and fork.

We use regular spoons and a knife that we share. I don't carry forks because I can manage to eat up anything with a spoon and since we're only camping in two's, one knife is enough, there is no need to carry more eating utensils.

I have a steel set of 1 knife, 1 fork, 2 spoons, a tumbler, a pan, and 2 bowls. I don't always take the whole set, but it has served me well for a while now.
