A New Backpacking Light Spork
Jump to Comments
I love discovering new ultralight backpacking gadgets — anything that has multiple uses and is really light.
I was at the local outdoor store, looking for a birthday present for one of my backpacking pals, when I discovered a plastic knife-spoon-fork utensil from “Light My Fire Spork
It weighs less than a half ounce and costs only $2.99. I have a titanium spork which cost $12.95, is about one ounce and doesn’t have a integrated knife. So, this is a nifty little device which offers more for less — less weight and less money. Your pocketbook will be the only thing that is a little heavier.
Be light. Be safe. Be one with the pack.

Mike,
As a backpacking pro, I’m sure you are the ultimate practitioner of light backpacking. You don’t need much, that’s for sure. I tend to bring pasta (linguini or capellini), for dinner which requires a fork. On the other hand, on my most recent trip I used orchietta (little pigs ears) which are perfect for the spoon and much less messy.
