I carry a spork as EDC. Use it at work for my lunch and when eating takeaways when out on the wee.

Used to always carry cutlery as a student but too heavy and kept stabbing my side with a proper fork in my bikers jacket inside pocket. Changed to plastic but always broke. Recently discovered the Titanium spork perfect. Not as sharp tines so not as dangerous. light and tough

Another Spork user!! ): i bet every one thought i was mad and making it up!! thanks for the backup!! :super:

Bit of a funny question but does the Spork hold liquid OK?

I wondered about getting one and if it was much use in the spoon dept? ):

 

[Squidders]

Why is it a spork and not a foon? :?:

 

[Tumper]

Why is it a spork and not a foon?

Its a matter of durability and maintenance. Its neccersary to constantly buff foon's....Whereas Sporks, naturaly, live long and prosper.

 

[Paganwolf]

Well it will make your soup last longer! and i wouldnt enter a custard eating comp with one but its one of those things that you never needed but is nice to have

 

[Squidders]

aaaahhhh.... that was uncalled for!!! :uu:

 

[stuart f]

[Paganwolf]

[MagiKelly]

Hey I have a spork and a pea grean coleman canoe, does that make me king?

I've eaten soup and custard with my spork. The bowl is a bit shallow but it does ok. The shallow bowl probably being more of a problem than the gaps between the tines. For thick gloopy liquids no problems as they dont seem to flow through the gaps anyway . tines make it more difficult to scrape out those last morsels from the cup/bowl/pot though. Irritating with nice desserts.

Try putting " spork " in the Google search engine "oh no" its a cult thing :yikes:

Paganwolf :wave: ,

Do you've got any pictures of the bivvy you've bought? I'm looking for a good bivvy myself (Carinthia is high on my list, followed by the Survival Zone by Rab).
The link you've put in, works only half :roll:

On the Carinthia homepage there are also a few picies: which one do you own?
(At this moment, while typing this reply, the Carinthia page is down ... )

Keep us posted with your experiences with it!

(I've got a spork too!! :super: :biggthump - lovely piece of kit)

Cheers!
