Picked this little treasure up for my father in law for his birthday. I was tired of going backpacking with him and watching him use a plastic spoon to stir his grub. After watching him melt through about 5 spoons in the past few years I decided he would appreciate the spoon. The guy loves it. He was almost in tears when he got it. Any who, it's light, "tight" and won't melt. Definately pick it up if your the guy that cooks for everyone when you go on a walk about.

I replaced the Jetboil telescopic spoon with this one because I hated cleaning the jetboil utensils-lots of grooves and stuff to clean. This spoon works great to reach in the jetboil cup. The edges are also curved good to fit the contours of most cups and pots. Very light and fits anywhere.

When I told my wife that I bought a $15 spoon she was skeptical. After using it and not getting goo all over my hand while digging in the bag for my food I was sold. All the crap I took from my wife for buying a $15 spoon was worth it. Love the long handle and the scoop part is a great size as well. Probably not a good soup spoon, but perfect for the Mountain House type dinners. It is also super light weight which is just a cherry on top!

A must if you eat backpacker foods right out of the packages. The extra reach is mandatory to keep your pretty little fingers clean.

great for stirring thick meals or a lot of rice. doubles as a serving spoon. Lightweight, low profile, handy.

The best feature is the length which enables reaching all the way down in a freeze dried pouch without messing up the outside of your gloves. Its a spoon and it works - other than that there isn't much more to be said except that it is light.

Just like everyone else says, very light and very strong. Perfect for a Jetboil.

You will almost always find a use for this little fella when on the trail, and as everyone says, it particularly shines in digging out freeze-dried food pouches. Although it is featherweight, the titanium keeps it durable and free from residual flavors after washing. Something worth noting: although the pictures might make the handle appear to be tubular, it actually has a concave back (hollowed inward) to reduce weight and make it structurally stronger than a flat handle.

Best hiking spoon ever, hands down. Keeps the grub off of my fingers and when you accidentally drop it in the fire after too much bourbon it survives unscathed.

Nice and light, fits in my mouth nice but the best part about it is you can reach the bottom of your pot without getting your fingers all messy. Kind of like a MRE spoon but a better shape.

This is very light. The length is good for cleaning the food chunkies out your deep mug or water bottle. Recommended.

I don't know who came up with the long handled spoon originally but it address the problem of stiring up your dehydrated dinner after you pour in the boiling water. It reaches into the corners of the bags much better that regular spoons and keeps you from burning your fingers in the stew. Then scoops the meal out of the bag without getting goo all over your paws. I would suggest that they turn it into a spork for the ultimate camping utensil.

Pretty much the only utensil I use now. Perfect for a freeze dried pouch.

Works great for your freeze dried meals, for both stirring and eating. The spoon is also super light, you can't go wrong with a sppon like this.

As others have said, I bought it for diggin' in the ole' food pouch, but will be taken on all treks for its lightweight and durable design. I don't own a Jetboil PCS, but it would be ideal particularly for the taller height of the Jetboil. For the negligible weight and nice price, I would consider adding this utensil in along with your titanium spork for the essentials on fast and light treks.

With most of the stuff I eat in the back country I do not need a spork to eat it, a spoon works fine. This spoon is great because it has a little extra length to help get inside those mountain house bags or deep in the pots to get the last little bites without getting your hand coverd in food.

This spoon is very nice. We looked at the sea to summit long handled spoon, before finding backcountrys version. being nealy have the cost we decided to take the chance on it. Well we were very pleased to find it as light and nice as the sea to summit spoon.

This is the lightest long handle spoon on earth for backpacking !! And Backcountry has the best price!! sure you can buy one from rei but it cost more!! Make sure you get your camping buddies one! They will be mad if you dont!

A great piece of gear, particularly if you are in to freezer bag cooking, and want to get that last morsel out of bottom of the bag.
Excellent price & value.

i never really thought about a long handled spoon before, but can be nice to have when you need to go deep in the jet boil mug. This spoon is RIDICULOUSLY light.
