Hey guys,
Through my few travels I have ran into hikers who bring a plastic spoon or fork on the trail with them so I thought I would share something that I found helpful but most of you who use them already know about.
I have a titanium spoon that I used to bring with me hiking and camping, but once I started doing freezer bag cooking I quikly found out that my spoon handle wasn't long enough and I would pretty much scold my hand every bite. Well I could have went right out to get a longer handled spoon from REI or ordered off of amazon or some other online seller but I got to thinking. Any fast food place that sells Milkshakes or other wonderful frozen delights use long handled plastic spoons. So on my last trip car camping trip I stopped by the local steak and shake and asked for a few, no problem absolutely free and they work great if you can get over using plastic.
Anyway this is probably old news to most, but I figured I'd share my idea, I thought this might be helpful if you lose your normal spoon or need a pretty much weightless backup. Plus if you are like me and on a serious budget nothing beats free.
