Plastic Fork

A very reasonably priced ( free in many places...actually almost everywhere) utensil that is lightweight, easy to use, and reusable!   Great product! My girlfriend recently  introduced me to the art ( and expense) of getting food to go... this amazing utensil was hidden as a free gift in the bag  I also actually found a free knife and napkins too!!! What a wonder!  This is a great alternative to titanium eating utensils and also is available in large quantities to do your job as a Trail Angel!! Full review

TiTo Titanium Long Handle Spork

I love this product. It is light, tough, and easy to clean, but most importantly it is the perfect length for reaching those last desperate morsels in the corners of your dehydrated food packet.  Full review

TiTo Titanium Long Handle Spork

Most sporks are a little too short. This one has a long handle and is lightweight so you can stir food easily and not lose your spork into the pot. I purchased this long handled spork after I lost my previous titanium spork on a hiking trip. This time I went for a long handle model which was a welcome upgrade for almost no real difference in weight in the overall scheme of things. It's also a good conversation starter about who was the most underrated of the Jackson Five.        Full review

Full Windsor Magware

Sporks are useless, get these instead. OK, let's get the ugly out of the way first. Sporks are stupid. Spork tines are so short to be practically useless. It is basically a two-headed spoon. And the knife? Seriously, how do you hold down what you are cutting? A utensil set is necessary if you are eating anything other than rehydrated meals. So... I went on a search, and saw products from the big names—Sea to Summit, MSR, etc... All had benefits and drawbacks. Happened across this Full Windsor… Full review

Stabilotherm Jägarstekpanna Original Collapsible Frying Pan

Carbon steel frying pan with collapsible handle. Collapsible hunters frying pan from Stabilotherm, Sweden.   Being noticeable light traveling has never been one of my strong points. I’d rather take my (small) Dutch oven with me and enjoy a good meal or beautyfull loaf of bread every day and accept the disadvantage of the extra weight. This includes also my collapsible hunters frying pan from the Swedish brand Stabilotherm. A 8.3" carbon steel frying pan which is fast, durable, and a charm in… Full review

Eagle Products Wooden Tableware

Well-made wooden utensils and plates, nice for car camping and light enough for backpacking. Sometimes my wife and I like to go what we call “mardy camping”*– basically car camping but also overnights or weekenders where we can afford to bring along comforts and luxuries in the gear and food departments. Once in a while we just walk out the door and into the city forest that is our backyard, loaded down with goodies, just to spend a night among the trees, returning home in the morning. A few… Full review

Toaks TiTongs Set

A flashy nylon connector transforms TOAKS' fork and spoon into a set of tongs, allowing one to handle light cooking chores with the tongs before pulling them apart to later eat with the utensils. A convenient and lightweight tool, best for light tasks such as cooking bacon or a chicken breast.   TOAKS TiTongs Set I suspect most cooks have had to improvise tongs at some point: I recall using a tablespoon and a fork once in a pseudo-chopsticks fashion to flip a chicken breast that I was cooking in… Full review

Texsport Aluminum 9 Cup Percolator

Shh. Not so loud, I am not awake yet. (the scent of Folgers coffee and sounds of percolating) Good morning, Trailspace readers... The best part of waking up always is coffee, or for some, the only thing that gets them up. The Texsport 9 cup percolator is a very well built lightweight camping coffee maker, but more importantly, it makes one damn good cup of Joe. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle, oh, glorious satisfaction! (GI Joe reference) This is a great lightweight percolator at a… Full review

Hilltop Packs Large Food Bag

A Hilltop Packs Food Bag is a lightweight accessory for organizing and storing a variety of items inside a backpack, around camp and while visiting trail towns. I especially like that it has a flat bottom, making for a better fit inside my pack and a bag that will stand upright on its own. It's durable, simple, and comes in a variety of colors... even unique custom prints and patterns! Background: When I first got into lightweight backpacking, DCF (formerly known as Cuben Fiber) was all the rage. Full review
