Eating utensils?

[mbarnatl]

What do you use... your knife, spoon, spork, fork or whatever you use to eat your meal out in the outdoors? I noticed on several sites that they are selling chopsticks as well. Just curious if someone uses chop sticks.

I carry a KFS set to use when eating, Chop sticks are very easy to make but hard for some people to use, i like a KFS better than chop sticks anyday

I've chopped sticks with an axe. I've also eaten with chopsticks before but prefer KFS; preferably Lexan. Wal-Mart sells an "all-in-one" utensil very light-weight, for about $3. It's also available in bright colors so you won't lose it if you set it down.

I use all of the above

I use "chopsticks" all the time at home, and on the trail when the need arises.
I do carry a long SS spoon for most of my eating needs that the chopsticks don't handle well, plus my camp knife of course.

I use mostly a spork (made by light my fire) as sarge mentioned it sells at walmart for bout 3 dollars comes in several colors virtually indestructable is a cross between a spoon and a fork with a serrated edge also for light duty cutting

Just curious if someone uses chop sticks.

I have used chop sticks many times out in the bush, but i always carve them myself when i am out there because it gives me something to do and it makes it so i dont have to keep track of one more item

GI knife, fork, spoon.

I use a titanium spoon and fork set and chop sticks

[Sourdough]

Large table spoon with lots of taper. Only the front 1/3 or tip needs to fit in the mouth. Large because it can be used for digging, mixing food (like pancake), serving food, attracting fish, or Predrill a small hole on the tip of the handle and the spoon part, then you can attach a hook to the spoon and a line to the handle for jigging or casting.

Just break off two sticks!

[Sarge47]

Screw it! Just eat with your fingers!

To the 2 above posts

If you just break any old 2 sticks then they may be contaminated (Altho unlikely) put them over a flame to kill surface bacteria first

If you eat with your fingers then if you have prepared the food raw with them then there may be contaminants, i would wash my hands with a iodine rich solution before i touch mr grub with them

[tfisher]

Nope just put your fingers in the fire for about a minute to kill the bacteria.
add salt a pepper to taste

Would you not have bad burns from half cooking your skin ?

[Rick]

Snap. Snap. Tony. Wake up. He was joking. Hence the salt and pepper.

I use the Hickory chop sticks that I made about 10 years ago. I have made some, in the field, out of willow, from time-to-time, just for fun, but I carry my Hickory sticks all the time!

Every thing else can be roasted on a rock or stick...

In SL we traditionally eat with out fingers. (of the right hand) Needless to say you need to wash them well with soap & water. However I do carry a spoon and a fork just in case I injure my fingures. If water is scarce I use the spoon....clean it with sand and wash it later when water is available.
