I need a fork, spork etc...

Brunton (IIRC) is selling an exceptionally clever folding TI spork. Very, very light and compact.

Another vote for the TAD Gear Ti Folding Spork.

Here's a picture of the Brunton folding spork:

How 'bout the polycarbonate/Lexan utensils that they have at REI
http://www.rei.com/online/store/Pro...8000&productId=422&parent_category_rn=5777365 for $2.25 per setting. Or you can get a complete 4 place setting (16 pieces) from Wal*Mart for a little over $5.

Today at work, I got caught with out a spoon or fork. I had to use a couple of straws as a spoon. Messy but worked. However, I really don't want to get caught like that again! Can someone suggest a spork or something like that?

All of Snow Peak's titanium is extracted in Japan. Their knife, fork & spoon sets are manufactured in Japan, so I assume they are well made.

Snow Peak makes a pair of chop sticks that you can break down and store in a pouch and hang it around your neck. I got a set but never used them because I remember to get a fork or spoon when I order take out.

I have the snow peak spork, got it in August & it's still in the bag. One of these days I'll get around to taking it to work & using it.

I always have a few of the wrapped untensil sets (knife, fork, maybe spoon, salt & pepper, napkin & wetnap) plus a bunch of individually wrapped plastic forks in my filing cabinet at work. Never know when you will need one. We have utensils, plates & bowls etc. at work and a dishwasher but I'll be damn if I'm going anywhere near that stuff, I'd eat with my hands or go without first (shudder...).

Fun thread.

There is one called the "Light My Fire" spork from REI. Cost is $3, and it has a spoon on one end, a fork on the other. The fork has a kind of serrated knife edge. It is plastic.

I agree. This one is the best. I have a snowpeak ti spork and the forks are too small. I don't ever use it. This one from Light My Fire is an actual fork, an actual spoon and a servicable knife. My three year old chewed on hers like crazy at camping this year, and it barely showed a single tooth mark.

eating soup takes some practice....

I just got one of those sporks from TAD Gear. It is an excellent utensil to carry with you when you are caught without a fork/spoon and getting ready to eat. Highly recommended.

Hi Y'all,

When camping, I prefer to dine using Sterling Silver. There are always tons of spoons selling on Ebay. I have one similar to this one hanging from a chain while I hike. Always ready to use.

Or from goodwill. It's nice to eat off a REAL spoon.

If you go ti, I would recomend the polished Ti fork and spoon like the ones from REI. They "taste" better than the bead blasted ones like snowpeak or MSR. I am totally serious about this. There is a certain mouthfeel that is weird on the bead blasted ones.

Or better yet support a CPF favorite and go for Ti set form Berkely point, get some mini clips while you are there (I haven't tasted these):
