Probably held a big fake diamond

Yes and yes. A travel set of cutlery isn’t hard to find.

Edit: For reference, this is approximately the set I have but with a knife as well: Amazon Link. I wouldn't really recommend a plastic case like that but someone else ordered a pack of two and gave me one so I didn't really have a say.

Here it is! I love it for pretty much all the reasons I love the bowl.

Since we're on the topic, here's my drinking glass.

And here's my silverware.. Yes, I'm extra and they are expensive. But it was also a Christmas present and I only that many. Would not have bought those for myself.

Gorruck 34L GR2 Coyote Tan - a good bag, heavy, uncomfortable, probably give it to my grandchildren in like 50 years

Flip Flops - generic things

Bigblue 28W solar charger - very good, can charge my battery up during the day if i leave it in the sun which I've never really done honestly

Jakemy hardware tools - seamed useful? i've never needed this

Army glove shells - i thought i used these a lot and were indistructable but now that i think of it, i don't use them that often and are probably pretty cheaply made.

Sharpie, pen, all weather notebook - probably should switch over to a fisher space pen...

Straws - these are probably already broken.

Whistle - really really really loud

Fire-striker, matches, lighter - i'm not sure i have enough ways to start a fire

Fresnel lens - ok, now i have enough

LED flashlight - i used to go running in the middle of the night with this flashlight, its tiny

LED flashlight - this isn't the one i have but looks kinda similar? i don't remember where i got mine

Earbuds - generic cheap earbuds

Leatherman Surge - given to me by my wife for passing the bar. thanks wife!

First Aide kit - i put mine together from stuff i've stolen from friends houses whenever i go over and use the bathroom

playing cards - these look very similar to the ones i have, they are plastic so they won't get rained on

glasses/ sunglasses - i have really bad vision

personal hygiene kit - aahhhh dry shaving

Sawyer Mini / syringe, collapsible canteen (dirty), heavy duty straw - i've never used this

collapsible canteen (clean) - i've never used this either

sewing kit - i've used this a lot

ID tags - i guess if i get blown up they'll know my blood type?

garbage bag - for when my pockets are full

elastic bands - i use these when packing to keep rolled socks and things from falling apart

Salt - i have nooooo idea why i have this

cooking grate - i'm not going to hold meat over a fire with a stick like some sort of caveman

heavy duty ziplock bag - in case my mapcase breaks and other reasons

rip-patch - leftover from when i needed a pack because i bought a crummy cheap inflatable sleeping pad.

Army Fleece Beanie - i always keep this at the top of my pack

4 Bungie Cords - not the one i use but similar. to make a field-expedient shelter

Trowel - for disposal of biological wastes

Lensatic compass - because GPS should only be a backup

Pocketboy 130 folding saw - i have a bigger one for yardwork, this small one is really great

Tent stakes - for tent staking

Ravpower 26800 Battery - use this all the time can fast chage my stuff

Battery Battery holder, cables, wall charger - all fits togehter like glove!

Army Poncho - wear it, make a tent out of it etc

Microfiber towel - not the one i use but similar. i mainly use this for when the kids accidentally fall in a lake like they tend to do for some reason

Down Jacket - cheap chinese knockoff... i feel bad for not buying american

Wet weather top - not sure this is worth the space/weight

Wet Weather bottom - not sure if this is worth the weight/space

Silkweights - PJs! and warmth

Jungle Blanket - this is a lot better than the army's woobie. lighter and warmer

Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet - again, gift from wife. she wanted me to chop things and be more manly, generally. now i come home with parts of wildlife for her to cook

Map of New England - or, how i stopped worrying and love dismounted land navigation

PT belt - keeps me safe in all situations

Compression straps - i don't like lashing things to the outside but i guess i can if i wanted to

Fork and Spoon - stole these from the kitchen. i'll probably be replacing this soon with something titanium.

​

EDIT: i just priced it out: $1,585.08 total

Stick with the Rainbow Chrome?

Maybe this? It's hard to see what the bottom of that looks like in your photo, and I can't tell if the tops are the same - but if you can't find another it might be a sneaky alternative. ;)

Health Fx Mindful Eating Portion Control Flatware - for weight loss bariatric diet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B1JRZYV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TgrQDbJX0AJHD

I can see a few niche situations for getting them.

• If you don't own any cutlery.
  
• If you are prone to, or need to be able to, lose your cutlery and don't want to litter metal spoons everywhere.
  
  Other then that, there's no reason to buy these silly things. Andd I'm not really sure about the first one. How long will a bamboo spoon last vs a decent stainless steel one? I own spoons my grandmother had since at least when my mother was a kid... Frankly, I'm thinking making sure you get something sturdy is more important then it being biodegradable. Get pieces that are one piece of solid metal and it should last you decades. Just avoid crap with wood or plastic handles. Or any handle that is a separate material really.

I have several kitchen items on my list <3 thanks so much for doing this!

This cutting board comes to mind! Has lots of nifty compartments and is generally well made! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K5343TM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_k3LyCbXA09G9Q

Also! This is a little bit more than $20 but I wanted to show you for the inspiration- Gorgeous flatware! And matching steak knives if you want to complete the look!

Not the OP, but I found it here.

> Should I also carry my own fork, knife, plate and linen napkins? Think of the waste we could save?

Yes, think of the waste you could save with just a $10 metal utensil set from your God-Emperor at Amazon. Here's two sets for $19 and they include chop sticks! I mean, really...

...what is so hard about keeping one of those in your car compared to how much waste you generate from disposable plastics?

The problem is that you're presenting this as being "worried about the inconvenience," as if that justifies generating completely unnecessary and non-degradable trash. However, it is exactly on that very point that it's ridiculous that you don't, especially since your objection shows just how aware of the problem that you are.

It would be one thing if you were dirt poor (at which point: You should hate Libertarianism), but it's usually assumed that you Libertarians typically lean middle to upper-middle class and can afford fourteen fucking dollars to effectively eliminate your unnecessary plastic waste. Here "the free market" is giving you exactly the things you claim it does to help solve these issues, yet you are the reason they're still problems.

You are simply too fucking lazy to act on your ideals; you expect everyone else to act on them on your behalf.

EDIT I'll say this plainly:

• People like you. People who have all of the access, reason, ability, and circumstances to do the right thing but refuse to because you're too lazy to act on it are why these dumb laws exist. These laws happen because of people like you. If people like you had just done the right thing, the easy thing, the responsible thing, they never would have had to do it.
  
  You of all people have no right or reason to complain that stupid fucking laws like this come into place because you made them happen.

Did some poking around to find it on Walmart's site, then went to Amazon. Don't have the exact same brand, but here is one set almost identical to it. You can find more of varying prices and quality if you search "rainbow flatware".

Check this set out. It looks similar. I just ordered them and they're awesome. I feel fancy.

Cursory search: Foon is more fork-like, less rounded.
