MSR Titan Titanium Fork and Spoon

These are exactly what my boyfriend and I were looking for: lightweight and durable. Neither of us are a huge fan of plastic silverware because of the possibility of it snapping, but it can be tricky to find a set of silverware. These are just perfect as long as you don't need to eat out of anything too deep. The spoon is rather large and more comparable to a soup or chili spoon. My friend wasn't a huge fan of the size, but I prefer a rounder spoon in general so it wasn't an issue for me.

Not much to be said here, it is a fork and spoon and they do the job of getting food in my mouth. They seemed a bit flimsy at first but I haven't had any issues with bending or not holding up to my burnt food. I have used them on several camping trips and for a while when I first got into my new apartment.

I haven't grabbed any other sets of outdoor-centric eating utensils other than these, so keep that in mind when reading my review.

Personally, I was dissuaded from purchasing plastic utensils for fear that they could melt, leech some chemical compound into my food when using them for hot meals, or perhaps get lost due to their lack of any attachment apparatus. I didn't think that I would really need a knife when considering utensils, as a fork can (generally, but not always) double as a knife, not to mention that I would generally have a separate knife on hand that would be both sharper and more adaptable when in the backcountry anyways.

With that in mind, I trolled through nature-friendly "table"ware and found the MSR Titanium Fork & Spoon set, ultimately deciding to buy it and give it a try. Thus far, I have not been disappointed. Both pieces seem durable, are VERY light, and able to be connected to the outside of one's pack should space on the inside be a bit cramped, which was a big bonus (and partially a primary factor) for me.

While I can't say I've put it through the ringer just yet, I have had some time to try them both out and they seem to work like a charm. Easy to wipe (or lick) clean, they don't seem to retain any sort of residue if you are attentive in that regard.

One note of contention that I do have is that smaller spaces are not exactly agreeable with the spoon head; while I enjoy the fact that it is more of a bowled spoon for producing larger, more generous scoops of trail grub, it can be a bit of an issue with smaller spaces and those hard-to-reach nooks in cups and whatnot - it's not as precise as it could be, I guess I should say.

Overall, though, I've been impressed with this utensil set and would recommend to friends.

*Usage note: the braided metal cord broke at one point when I had this hanging from my pack, so I recommend using a spare small biner to pair these together instead of that*

Served me well on Rainier. Might have been better off with a single spork (for weight and simplicity), but sometimes it's nice to have something clean while the other is nasty. The threaded cable loop is a little finicky. It can be hard to determine which way is the side that opens.

The only utentil you will need. Long enough to stir the bottom of dehydrated ziploc dinnercbag , or a GSI or Jet boil pot. Super MSR quality always.
