Sea to Summit AlphaLight Long Spoon

One of my favorite pieces of kit. Everything positive thing that other reviewers have noted still holds true. I've had mine for something like six(?) years now, and have converted all of my hiking buddies from any other utensil. The ability to dig into the bottom of the ubiquitous freeze-dried bag without coating one's fingers, hand, and sleeve is just lovely. My only quibble has nothing really to do with the spoon, but rather with its response to my own clumsiness and inattention. I mean, it's… Full review

Kelty Camp Kitchen

My husband and I camp together a few weekends each month, and take two week-long trips each September. We have been camping our entire lives, and have used various types of camp kitchen cook ware, ranging from high end brands to odds and ends picked up at the local thrift store. Our motley collection of camp kitchen gear received a definite upgrade when we received the Kelty Camp Kitchen to review for Trailspace. We found that this inclusive set of a pan with lid, pot with lid , 4 sets of eating… Full review

Morsel Spork XL

Really gets to the food in those backpacking meals without getting your hands messy. We have been using the Morsel XL spork with our Scouts on several backpacking trips this summer and the unanimous opinion is a big thumbs-up. We have used our Morsels with MRE's, and they truly outperform compared to the plastic spoon those meals provide. With backpacking dehydrated meals we are able to get out every little bit out of the corners of the bag without getting our hands messy. Bowls, cups, and plates—no… Full review

MSR WindBurner Sauce Pot 2.5L

A solid addition to MSR's Windburner system, just big enough to cook simple meals for four people, but not 100% compatible with the canister-top Windburner and not as fuel-efficient as smaller pots in the system. My wife and I have been using the canister-top Windburner with the 1.8 L pot as our preferred two-person cook system for at least three years. That pot is just big enough to hold two portions of one of our standard meals, “Tuna P. Wiggle” (two boxes of macaroni and cheese with some… Full review

MSR WindBurner Skillet

A well-designed and well-made addition to MSR’s Windburner line, works as advertised, but maybe not all that useful in the real-world? I reviewed the original canister-top Windburner stove with the 1.0 liter pot for review for the Trailspace review corps about five years ago, and it is now my preferred stove on both short and long backpacking trips. I have since added on to the system by buying the 1.8 and 2.5 liter pots, the French press add-on to the 1.0 liter pot, and the skillet, which I might… Full review

Cabela's Campfire Coffee Pot

Quality I have used this on a dozen trips out west when camping in camping grounds or on BLM ground and National Forest ground where you are restricted to 100 yards of the road for camping. Full review

Snow Peak Titanium Trek 900

Superlight. It’s a mini-pot and pan, what more can be said? Don’t expect a gourmet Teflon cooking experience. Overall, for canoe camping, it’s excellent. I’m not crazy about the lid fitment, my only complaint. I wish it had a more secure connection. Otherwise, I love it. Full review
