(Part 2) Best camping cooking utensils according to redditors

• If you don't boil water for breakfast, you could probably get away with just one large JetBoil canister.
  
  
• Switch the the Nalgene for a Gatoraide.
  
  
• 1 pair of undies and only 1 t-shirt. Ditch the sweatband. Choose pants or running shorts not both.
  
  
• Your fork-spoon is going to break. This guy has survived the entire AT and the Colorado Trail.
  
  Every other piece of advice would be accompanied by a expensive shopping list so I won't give it. I'll respect the spirit of just going with what you have. Hope you have a great trip!

How about switching the ceramic plate for a wooden or plastic cutting board? No sharp edges will withstand cutting on ceramic plates, the plate is simply much harder than the steel. In case not using a creamic plate is not doable, I'd suggest adding a camping cutlery set to your edc, something like this:

Leaving roughly £6 for bits, sporks, duct tape some cordage etc.

-Small Nalgene bottles for re-packaging other consumables

-Disposable towels

-Toe socks for wearing with sandals in camp

-Anker battery for charging devices on longer trips

-Folding chopsticks

-Snowpeak double wall stacking mug

-Tiny bluetooth speaker for camp. I have this one at 3 oz I always feel it's worth the weight, there may be newer models out now

Sea to Summit - Alpha Lite Spork ($8) 0.3oz

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029Z8HMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_s3WaBbKQ7G2P5

I have the toaks and the snow peak and GSI Lexan ones and this one. This is def the lightest:toughest (GSI is lightest, but I personally don’t want to cook/stir boiling water with non-metal).

The only caveat with this one is that the mouthfeel for the ones that don’t have a stainless steel bowl are a little weird IMO, but... we do a lot of weird shit in UL so it is what it is.

Toaks does make a polished bowl spork ($9 - 0.6oz - https://www.toaksoutdoor.com/collections/cutlery/products/spork) but that polish comes with a weight penalty.

YMMV

Hey everyone! I just spent most of last year camping out while travelling all around the US, here's some of my favorite gear that we still use around the house:


Not BIFL but I use my HMDX Jam portable speaker - Great portable, rechargeable bluetooth speaker. Use it around the house all the time for music in the shower, while cooking, or working on the car outside. Amazing audio quality with surprisingly deep bass for such a small speaker. If you put it on a semi-flexible flat surface like a garbage can or overturned canoe it'll also vibrate that and make even more bass!

MSR Alpine cutting board - Small enough to leave out on the counter without taking up room if you just need to cut something small/quick.

Black Diamond Storm Headlamp - As others in the thread have said, these things are extremely useful, but this one in particular is awesome. Watertight seals, ridiculously bright but dimmable long-throw spot or medium proximity lighting mode that throws an even 180 degree field of light for close up work, and red LEDs to preserve nightvision.

Nalgene On-The-Fly - After trying out a ton of water bottles, these are my favorite! Super tough Nalgene bottle, the cap is a lot easier to drink from than an open nalgene bottle, never leaks and you can open them with one hand. Also you can screw the lid on other Nalgene wide mouth bottles.

Did a ton of research for a camping trip last year. (assuming you mean hiking and camping, not just driving your car around)

For high-quality at a low price, my friends and I were completely satisfied by:

• Water Pump
  
• Pick up some Nalgene bottles
  
• Camping Utensil Set (seem to have gone up in price)
  
• Campsuds. A must.
  
• Amazing little Camp Stove
  
• And OMFG Raspberry Crumble was addictive!!
  
  (p.s. I bet /r/Camping has better tips than /r/amazone )

Down vote for commercially sold item.

My random wants WL ::: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/38YD4RSUNA3GT

Found a nice Nylon set on Amazon once I started looking in camping gear - Thanks!

Sea to Summit Alpha Knife, Fork and Spoon Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001V7Z89E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6vPZAbQ2FFN0M

I've had this Guyot spork and spatula set for years. They clip together and go in my lunchbox. The packaging says that their manufacturing process is actually carbon-negative, so there is less pollution in the world after they're made, but I'm pretty sure that just means they've been recycled.

This is my current favorite: https://www.amazon.com/GSI-Outdoors-Titanium-Kung-Utensil/dp/B0078JA4J8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468442384&sr=8-1&keywords=titanium+kung+foon

Its a titanium spork with chopstix that combine to make a long handled spork.

I am a big fan of the Snow Peak Titanium 900 and the Open Country Plastic Measuring Cup, along with a [Sea To Summit Alpha Spoon] (http://www.amazon.com/Sea-Summit-Alpha-Light-Utensils/dp/B0029Z6882/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417667085&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=sea+to+summit+spoon+small). I also like the Caldera Cone System for a cooking system.

[Absolutely!] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0026JJ464?pc_redir=1407821672&robot_redir=1)

I like these from GSI because they're the perfect size for 2-3 day trips, don't leak, and they roll up / compress to nothing when empty.

Lightsaber Lamp or chopsticks are pretty cool. This apron, this thermos, these playing cards, this bottle opener, and this ice cube tray are also pretty sweet!

There's a variety of cat tote bags but I personally love this one or this one. I also love these coasters, this plush, this game, this cup, and these magnets.

This camping first aid kit looks super useful, as does this multitool, and you can never have too many torches. An inflatable pillow, or a funky backpack cover might be cool too.

I'm not great at looking for stuff for kids yet, so I can't really cover that aspect, but I hope you like some of these suggestions!

​

I have a Schmidt Bros. Titan. It's the top knife here. Unfortunately I don't see it listed out of a set anymore.

It looks nice, it's sharp, and feels great.

Oh, I have been a real idiot many times in my life.

One, I had meant to hide hide away my next months rent money in an envelope but instead must have stuck in my shorts pocket that ended up in the laundry. When I washed those shorts a week later, only a few of the bills made their way out into the laundry (the rest was still folded up, well washed) in the pocket. But, I thought I had won the lottery! Extra money!! I blew that cash like it was nothing and then a few days later when I put on those shorts and put my hand in my pocket - and found my rent cash minus what I blown earlier in the week thinking it was FREE MONEY - I realized I was a moron. A broke moron that had to come up with some money very quickly!

I would love love love these $9 Coleman tableware for camping trips if I win.

Oh, and: "10 minutes later I get a credit card alert saying someone tried to charge $230 to my card. " ---> what was that about? Just curious.
