After cutting my mouth once on a broken (albeit plastic) spork, I opted for a long-handled spoon.

This is the one I use backpacking; it weighs less than an ounce and has a handle long enough to reach the bottom of a dehydrated meal bag.

I have the non-foldable and the foldable looks nice if it can fit in my TI cup I have my stove and gas in there currently too.

I have that the same spoon, didn't think I'd like it at first but it works really well for eating granola out of the package.

Did the same thing myself. I prefer to have seperate ones. And Ti is so light that it is fine carrying both.

well guys, i've decided on the Light My Fire Ti spork. I've got one of PC that i picked up at Wallmart, but i \;m just not confident enough in it's structural integrity to carry it in my pack. great for packed lunches, though.



this is why i absolutely love the design of the Light my Fire sporks. fork and spoon are full-size and fully funncitonal without having to keep track of two different utensils -for me the main point of a spork- and with th added advantage of a small cutting edge.



well, the worms are pretty fresh, but i was hoping for green beans when i opened the can.

Another +1 for the LMF PC sporks. I have one in my BOB, and I use one for lunch every day. I normally have soup/stew/chili though, so I can't speak too much for the fork...
Their spork in Ti might be enough to get me to buy into Ti (a little bit, at least).

Yet another reason why I pack my own set of chopsticks around.

Here's an interesting idea for those who eat on the run, interesting idea. Useless but it gives new name to wallet utensils.

I think the LMF titanium version is a good decision. If it´s strong enough and is carried in the pocket, maybe one could use two titanium sporks (or maybe even one) to self-extract from the ice water .

Seconder on the folding ti-fork. Only utensil I need when lightweight backpacking. OK, well, that and about 4 dozen knives to try out!!!
