MSR Alpine Folding Utensils - 2007 BCS

This is part of my MSR whisperlite cook gear set. Perfect for trips where I put effort into making a healthy backpacking meal.

Nice little spatula to add to your kitchen set. Super light and feels strong. Good for making eggs and pancakes and you can't really beat the price for something this nifty. The whole set is really useful!

I never would have purchased this but got it as a gift. I laughed it off but it's a real part of my backpacking kitchen and works like a charm. Sturdy and functional. And for a couple bucks, hey, why not?

I've got both the spatula and the spoon.
Spatula:
Seems a little flimsy at first, but reserve your judgment until you actually use it to flip something. I've used it so many times, for everything from pancakes to eggs to veggies to burgers and I can't see any melting on the edges. Its stiff enough too for pot scraping at the end of the night. The folding feature is great too. Not just a gimmick
Spoon: The spoon is in pretty much the same boat as the spatula. Strong enough, durable enough and the folding handle helps. The coolest thing is the angled edges that allow the spoon to contour to the sides of a pot, for getting the last drop of mac & cheese out. And the measuring cup on it seems useless, but I've used it twice, and it is a nice feature to have. I'd buy em if your skeptical, a couple bucks isn't going to kill you.

They are great for cooking fast and lite. They don't weigh a thing and are pretty sturdy.

We made some hefty pancakes with this on more than one occasion. It holds up great to high heats, cleans fast, protects nonstick cookware, and feels very reliable and strong. It is light and low profile so the weight conscious but luxury minded camper can enjoy themselves by having faith in their cook gear.

The Spatula is a very handy backcountry kitchen utensil. I tried to make pancakes with only a fork on a recent trip and they turned into scrambled pancakes. I've tried it out at home and it is surprisingly large, yet compacts small, and cleans excellently.

I picked up all three of these and they worked like a charm. They feel very durable, although I worried about the strainer breaking but no problems yet. They lock in a folding position as well as in the usable position....except the strainer. Easy to store and very easy to clean. They didn't even melt when I had them right against red-hot titanium. Really, they're a descent set of utensils for a rough kitchen.

It is surprisingly rigid and works very well. I am very happy that I bought it.

I've only used this item once, but it seems like it will perform well for years to come. It's extremely light weight (yet durable) and still large enough to flip a large pancake :) The folding feature is essential...it allows me to fit this between by stacked pots/pans.

This product is great! It fits right into my MSR cook gear. Great for turning bacon, sausage and cooking eggs, scrambled or over easy. I love it.

Great for not letting the food fall out while trying to strain off the water!! Love it

The first time I used the spatula to make pancakes in the BWCAW the front edge quickly melted. I was using it over a stove, so maybe the pan was hotter than expected. I was disappointed.

Haven't got the chance to use this yet, but it looks like it will work good. Extremely light and perfect size to pack with. Also looks surprisingly durable.

I don't know about the other items listed because I haven't bought them yet (but I plan to). The spatula is great. It is so light weight but is amazingly durable. I wanted a lightweight spatula for backpacking but was concerned that I would have carried the thing just to have it break the first time I used it. When I got it in my hands I was impressed. It will do anything you need a spatula to do in the backcountry. Very well designed and built. Fits in my GSI hard anodized cook set.
