Why! Been camping my whole life (70+ years) and never need any of these. Lol
I have a morakniv 511 in my desk drawer and a collection of Korean chopsticks and that combo works great for my eating style and everything washes in seconds in a bathroom sink and easily dried with a paper towel.
If you can whittle two small sticks into chopsticks all you need to bring is a spoon.
I've had a BILT three piece set, similar to the Blue rigid plastic case ones for years. great for taking to work.
All useless .just throw a spoon and fork into the bag and go .
Umm, the spork with serrations looks scary! How is that not supposed to hurt your mouth on the side of serrations?!
If a case "opened" when the backpack was dropped, boo hoo. No big deal. If it broke, that's another story.
I always carry utensils mine fold also have silicon straws you never know when they might come in handy one time used manicure set to make christmas sandwiches😂
Yall didn’t bother asking actual backpackers. They all use long handled titanium spoons or sporks. And that’s all. No 3-piece sets, and most certainly no sets held in cases. For actual backpacking, you need simple, indestructible, cleanable, and lightweight.
This is a perfect video because we’re gearing up for company cookout season.
I just went to dollar general and got the stamped stainless set and tossed them in the center console of my truck.
Lots of beef stroganoff on camping trips, is there?
Adam would know a lot about carrying a purse
did he say Three Fiddy?
Awesome new hair style, Julia !!
I have been using the Built gourmet set for years now in my work lunch bag and love it. Full size cutlery that doesn’t have any weird angles or sharp edges. And, if I don’t have an opportunity to rinse it off when I am done, I can throw it in the plastic case and not worry about getting stuff all over my lunch bag.
Air France uses the wooden utensils and they are horrible. They drag against the mouth and the wood imparts a faint flavor. I always carry my own plastic utensils and get them out on planes.
1:00 – not sure I like that jagged edge on the fork side of that! Looks like it would cut something inside your mouth.
Loving the bangs Julia!
I can not think of a dumber design than your winning light my fire spork. Who thinks putting a serrated edge on something you put in your mouth is a good idea? That is an injury waiting to happen. Plus, when you are cutting something you usually need the fork to hold it steady. I usually find the products ATK recommends really good, but this one is a hard pass.
The magware is on sale for 25 bucks on their website until April 5
The French Opinel folding picnicknife is a classic. Their picnic set is wrapped in a flannel cloth/napkin.
It'd be better to include how easy it is to clean afterwards – are there any nooks and crannies that can hide greasy and dirt easily? Is the container dishwasher safe? etc. I would like a set that comes with a container which is entirely dishwasher safe so I could pop everything in it after the trip.
Julia has never camped in her life. This is just a paid promotion.
Hi, how are you? Could you also make the audio available in Portuguese? I would greatly appreciate it if you could add it. I love the channel. Thank you very much.
$33 for camp utensils? Not in my camp kitchen baby! Great stuff ATK!
No chopsticks?
A spork is a utensil that combines a fork and spoon in the same end of a utensil, not a fork on one end and a spoon on the other. It is a spoon bowl with tines as well, or a fork with a bowl in the handle-end section of the fork. Did the manufacturer of these two-ended utensils usurp the name? Or did ATK? Inquiring minds want to know.
I don't think I'll be eating anything saucy or salady while camping! But for work, great!
The UCO knife in the utensil set is surprisingly sharp and TSA friendly, I have taken it with me on flights to foreign countries to cut into a variety of exotic fruits
My work gave us a utensil set and I LOVE it.
Full set in stainless steel: knife, fork, spoon, and chop sticks! Plus a great durable case that zips closed.
Having a set of utensils in my purse if so necessary since I had my teeth removed, stupid luxury bones…
