Anyone ever hear of a spork? I have one that a friend made for me several years ago. He hammered it out of a piece of steel.
It is simply an eating utensil. There is a two pronged fork on one end, and a spoon on the other. The handle between fork and spoon ends pivets in the center on a rivet. There is a metal ring that slides along the handle that is used to "lock" the handle straight for easy use. For carrying, the handle is folded in half. Folded, the whole thing is about 4 inches long.
My camp kit consists of a tin "boiler". This is simply a small pot. It has a cover, a large handle like a cup, and a wire bale. It is about 5 inches in diameter and about 6 inch deep. Nested inside the boiler is a large tin cup that has a folding handle. My spork is kept inside a cloth bag inside the cup.
With the addition of my hunting knife, and fire starter kit, this completes all of my food preparation utensils. It is light weight, doesn't take up much room in my pack, and has plenty enough capacity for myself and maybe one other.
I also have a forged, steel frying pan that was made by my same friend. It also, has a lid, and a folding handle. It is about 8 inches in diameter, and about 1 1/2 inches deep. However, this frying pan alone is heavier than the rest of my cooking kit combined, so I usually leave the frying pan at home. I do like to take it when I'm on a canoe journey because I don't have to worry so much weight then.
