Gear Gimp ponders questionable purchase: Disposable sporks
March 28th, 2008 | by Andy Published in Camping, Gear | 9 Comments
"Hmmm...Veneerware disposable bamboo sporks, huh?" I was skeptical of these at first. And if you've already spent your REI dividend on a set of ultra-light, pure adamantium utensils, you may be tempted to turn your nose up at these sporks, too. I think we all can agree you should never put any kind of spork up your nose, it's just not safe. But then I considered why these might not be a bad idea after all:
-
Disposable = Fewer utensils to wash – Dish duty is a loathsome task on the trail. Titanium lasts forever, but forever means a lot of washings. Doing more dishes is what I'm trying to escape from!
Multi-purpose – The rounded handle could make a good pot scraper. And of course, dirty spoons would serve as nice tinder for the next fire. or for shoving up your neighbor's nose, if you like.
Biodegradable – Even if not burned, the sporks biodegrade in 4-6 months, according to the manufacturer (not that I would litter the forest floor with them anyway, but still...)

Nice design. You’d look so cool eating your re-hydrated pad thai.

[...] I’m still Googling to see if anyone around here has done the same, with corn dog sticks, but I’ll be watching this guy with interest. I may end up building a boat with a bulk of disposable bamboo sporks. [...]
