I like it, except for the Ziplock bowls, which leak through the threads. They just do not seal perfectly. I bought two different packages (of 3) of them, and they all leaked through the threads, not a huge amount, but enough that I wouldn't put them in my pack for several hours. Old plastic food jars, like Jif jars, etc., work better in my experience.

I'm thinking the 1st night and morning out of town I'll bring real food, 1/2 doz eggs poached or hard boiled, veggies wrapped in AL foil to steam in the fire. steak or fish with mushrooms wrapped and steamed. Brats or steak on a fly swatter fork. take off the swatter part bend out the ends for hot dogs or brats to hold over the fire. then marshmallows for desert.

Nice post, thanks for sharing!

The only time I experienced any leakage was when food got into the threads. Clean threads, no leaky. 1,300 miles on one bowl. That said, I now use a BPL free gelato screw top container. A little more capacity.
