Hikers looking to minimize their pack weight at every level should sit down for a meal with the Light My Fire Spork. This all-in-one utensil is versatile, reliable, and easy to clean.
The Light My Fire Spork weighs an impressive 0.2 ounces!
Made from Copolyster, the spork is dishwasher safe and strong enough not to snap under pressure. After dozens of trips, the Light My Fire Spork has not broken like that other plastic silverware, or shown any signs of wear. This sturdiness, along with a weight that is a fraction of common camping silverware, makes the Light My Fire Spork a great option for backpackers.
The four-prong fork end comes with a serrated knife-edge that has limited usefulness. The spoon end is more broad than profound, and works great for oatmeal and other camping fixings. When backpacking, this can be the one utensil that you pack (along with a reliable knife of course).
The Light My Fire Spork is useful for less rustic travel as well. Slip one in your suitcase, and it could come in handy.
The Light My Fire Spork sells for $3.00 at REI where it is available in a number of colors. To contact the writer of this and other gear reviews, comment below or e-mail hikeographer@gmail.com.
