Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I have two 'Light my fire' sporks, 1 Titanium and 1 plastic.
If it is light cooking/eating I'll take my plastic one but if i am going extremely light weight and for more than a night i will take my Titanui Spork - a bit more robust and prefer it if i am honest (but this is probably cos in the back of my head i now it cost about 5 times as much as the plastic spork lol)

Over cooked stake or cheep air lines seams to work
lol
i guess that would do it
I'll send you some of my wifes cooking, its tough even on the titanum sporks.
how the hell do you break one of these by eating or using it to cook with?
use one all the time, highly recommend them.
Now the beauty of the light my fire plastic spork is that you can take it onto planes (it dont make the machine go ping and you would be laughed at trying to take over a plane with a spork) and is better to eat with than the KFS in the dog food they serve.
I also have a snow peak titanium spork and with the right length of para cord on it you can tie it to the loops in the top right hand pocket of your combat jaket so if anyone has a plate of scoff near by you are well within your rights to a spoon full and if only lumps you can stab a bit.
In my army days this was known as the racing spoon rule.
Spoon boy to Neo "Do not try to bend the spork; that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth: There is no spork."

Yes and how??
Go to thread tools and see if you have the Add Poll option there.
I know I do, but I don't know if that's a Mod only feature.
If it isn't there for you, send me the options you would like to see and I'll edit the thread to add the poll.
cheers,

Must admit I am adding a light my fire to my EDC. For the metal machines, to replace my fork, and spoon.
I like my small(They fit in mess tin) old fashioned knife fork and spoon set.

WHAT!!!!!?????
No option for a hand carved wooden Spork?
Lets get bushcrafty here!
Sorry should have been the 1st option.this must be one of the best pointless things to bring on at trip... I've just ordered one myself.
(pointless in the sence that a wooden or plastik spoon is just as usefull and much cheaper.)
Have a 10 years old plastik spoon, must be one of my oldest outdoor thingies....
Allso I use chopstiks often, don't weigh much, since I make them and toss them as needed...

Lol, in millets this weekend mooching around with the little one in tow. finally decided on the light my fire spork, i mean its £1.99 fcol why not eh? sommat to eat with and it saves me starving to death whilst i'm trying to whittle my first spoon..
anyhoo stood in line just mooching around at stuff and finally get to the till and the clerk was like "do you want some £150 boots to go with that?"
non-plussed i said no thanks i've got my spork, he commented that i'd been stood in line for half an hour (more like 10 mins) just for that.
hey a good spork is worth the wait you know?

A bloody titanium spork!?
Jeesh...I wish I had the money to waste like some of you. But, on consideration, I think I'll stick with my quota of common-sense in preference.
A plastic spork does the job perfectly well for me.
Titanium sporks...
Mine's irridescant pink
cheers,
Toddy......... the inner girlie needs out sometimes

Can't say I'm too impressed with the LMF sporks: they're too short to reach the bottom of compo meals and one broke in my water bottle pouch :-(. I've replaced with an old plastic spoon from a picnic set from Sainsburys (I think).
Still, I got a pack of four of them and the three remaining ones are scattered around my kit. The plastic is good for non-stick pans/mugs.
I prefer my MSR Titan Tool Spoon though, it's a true multi-tool. I've attached some accessory cord which can either go around my neck or be wrapped around the handle.
I agree that titanium stuff is over-expensive: that's why I'm lucky that all my titanium stuff has been given to me as gifts.

Does no one use chopsticks?
I am think of getting one of those little kits from ebay. A spoon, fork, and screw togeather chopsticks.
A lot of lightweight hikers use them to cook with, and eat with. Not sure about the eating bit, but for cooking makes some sense.

When you get the screw together chopsticks, if you very carefully drill through the centre of them, you'll have........screw together drinking straws........which you can also use as ultralight chopsticks! (o:
