Perfect Backpacking Utensil......

By Brad Bleak August 6, 2009

I don't really count my ounces, I was even bringing up some dominoes & a chess set just in case somebody got the itch to play 15 miles from the trailhead! You could almost say I'm not a smart backpacker: I torture myself just to make it to camp (and it takes me longer than those guys with 50lbs. or less, but they always try to bum stuff off me {let's just say the Rocky Mountain Goat tax is not kind}) with a lot of sodas/red bulls/beer (the way home is much better) & I pack a very roomy Marmot Crib tent...it's all about enjoying camp & suffering with the pack for me...but I was using utensils from home that weighed a lot...so I threw away my 4oz. steel spoon & 4oz. steel fork & I now have a .6oz. spoon & spork combo (i.e. spork, why not foon?)!!! I'm actually starting to think I may not need to bring so much crap on every trip...thanks Brunton...your Brunton My-Ti Folding Spork was a backpacking epiphany for me...I mean maybe a 60lb. pack is OK...65-70lbs. hurts too much!!! :)
