Spoon or Spork???

[hovenator]

Looking at getting a utensil to stick in my day pack. It will mostly be used to eat soft food or liquids ( yogurt, soup, ice cream, etc.). Do I get just a spoon or the combo of the spork? Also, aluminum or titanium? I have been looking at Snow Peak, Sea to Summit, and TOAKS. Any suggestions, or your preference and why, would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

You need a titanium spork and 600$ titanium tail light guards if you want to be an overlander.

Snow peak titanium spork for the win.

If you're looking for a spork, the Snow Peak Titanium is clearly the best. But, if you're looking for something useful to eat with give the Light My Fire Titanium a try. At least according to this review the Light My Fire doesnt quite qualify as a spork.

If you don't mind eating minuscule mouthfuls of soup that drip all over, by all means select the spork. :drool:

You will have your Overlanding license revoked, but these work well:

I love all the great responses on the spork issue. Looks to me that just the spoon is most useful for me. Although, the Light My Fire spoon/fork design is interesting.

I have LMF sporks for the whole family, but when we're overlanding, I have a polycarb utensil set in my Dosko for everyone... a spoon is a spoon, a fork is a fork, after all...
A military MRE long-handled spoon is light and quite useful - I really don't come across many "needs" for a fork when backpacking/hiking - a spoon usually does the trick.

I don't know if any of you happened to read my Magnum Opus on the best sporks available: http://expeditionportal.com/expo-tested-who-makes-the-best-spork/

It started out as a joke of sorts, but got serious quickly. Ultimately, people like to kid about the titanium spork being some luxurious over indulgence, but the reality is, they're only a couple bucks more than a stainless spork and they truly are better.

Another review conspiring against the LMF. Here they've compared two titanium sporks to a plastic LMF. What gives?

sporks are fun my kids tell me and they each have there own color
myself I am a fork guy and anything that I eat with a large spoon I use a spoon and I like a sharp knife

I want the Japanese version of the snow peak spork that is not here better for noodles

A plastic Light My Fire spork is just as good as a titanium one (but this crowd will revoke your Overlanding title if you get one).

I vote small nesting stainless (not plastic) spoon and fork.
Even though I'm getting old and decrepit and having tried many "better"?? ideas over the years; I like substantial grubbin' tools.

Enjoy!
