+1 for good luck to 'em, spend your money any way you want. People smoke (£3 per day x 365 = well over a grand!) People drink (£20 a week x 52 = over a grand) People buy canoes, (a grand) people buy expensive cars (well over a grand) people pay £50 quid a month on sky tv, people go foreign holidays, cameras, tents, stoves, knives..... well you get the idea. Each to their own.

I recently placed my first order with TAD Gear for a couple of jackets and fortunately I am very pleased with them. The issue with the price of their kit is not just the list price but the $75 shipping fee from the US, then import duty and VAT and a local handling charge at this end. So if somebody is selling on a TAD Gear item this will tend to be reflected in the price. A few months back I was watching a used jacket on eBay, I didnt bid as a couple of days before the auction was to end it was already at more than the cost of a new item, if they have them in stock which they tend not to.
I smoke & drink and in order to that I avoid buying (from our local outdoor shop catalogue):
- five fingered slippers ad 109,95 euro;
- a clinometer for your bike (in Holland,
);
- a sleeping mat with 'Ultra Light valve';
- a Camelback flowmeter, allowing you to see how much you have drunk (just 34,95 euro).
So, if there is a market there is a product and if there is a buyer there is a market..

Just goes to show that you can sell any

Well chuffed to brag that I got a brand new steel spork for £2.99 from our local market. That'd be 1/2 the price of the postage on that travesty and I owned that spork immediately. Had a pleasant conversation about hiking in Wales with the salesperson too, which was free and priceless.
If anyone's interested I'm happy to have a go at etching a couple of skulls onto it - it could be all yours for a mere £29.99 (+ p&p). I'm sure I can probably get another.
A fool and his money eh... (good grief I sound like my dad!)

Its a ludicrously decorated spork, the ownership of which arguably confirms the absence of good taste, reason, logic and intelligence.
By definition, it also confirms the desperate need to be seen to own 'elite' and/or 'tactical' gear.
A more accurate definition would be 'SAD GEAR'...
I saw these recently at Cotswold Outdoor in South Cerney..... Overkill a little, I thought. When it's empty, you've drunk it all, simples !
It would make a nice spoon if it didn't have all those little notches in it.
Well said Hoodoo, IMHO sporks are neither a good spoon or a good fork, whats wrong with taking a real spoon and real fork on a trip, please don't say its weight.
Indeed, in fact I have to take a couple of each because of natural wastage (I lose them). If I only had one item of cutlery I'd end up eating with chopsticks! (And sometimes do anyway).

Perhaps someone will set up a spork repair service, where owners send in their sporks to have little infill pieces fitted to reinstate it back to 'spoon' status...
Good idea chap. It must be my age or something but I can't see one good thing about any spork whether it be a Titanium one or some plastic job
Even the term 'spork' is such a tactical spoonerism!
The original title was 'Does Neither Well', though this was rejected as it was found to be way too honest, thereafter the phrase 'spork' was foisted on the buying public.
