03/04/2008 08:31PM When weight and size is not an issue, I use a nice big (20 + ounce) insulated plasic cup with lid and Lexan spoon. The mug is great cuz you don't really need a cozy and it works for just about any type/form of food (I've even eated pancakes out of it). When backpacking I use a titanium cup and folding spoon. The folding ware is ok, I've tried a few of them but didn't like food getting stuck in the folds - but to each his own. It's nice to have so many innovative choices today. |

03/04/2008 07:02PM I took the cups, plates and bowls out of my mess kit. I make my Oatmeal or Pasta or Rice in the bucket and my tea or coffee in the pan. I do bring a spoon though. One year I forgot it and whittled one out of a pine split. My son still kids me about my 'great spoon artwork'. I don't like to spend time washing dishes on my one trip a year to the BW, but as you say "to each hs own". |

03/04/2008 09:24AM GSI fair share mugs, made of lexan. We use these for most everything,mixing,eating, drinking. Don't know why we bring plates anymore. You can carabineer these to your packs for easy access during the day. CB |

03/04/2008 08:51AM They seem gimmicky to me, but to each his own. I have those Rubbermaid Bowls, too, but no longer take them either. For group trips, just a plain ol’ plastic or lexan bowl and plate for me. Solo, no bowl or plate at all. :) |

03/03/2008 08:10PM Bought some just after the holidays at REI at a discount. They apparently are guaranteed for life, can be used as a cutting board and the bowls double as a strainer is you're cooking pasta. I'm thinking they might also be handy to scrape the ice off my windshield too. :) Haven't had a chance to use them, but they're coming along this year. |

03/03/2008 03:42PM I've been using a set of this stuff for a couple of years and am still waiting for it to fall apart. I've left assembled cups & plates in the car both in the heat and in the winter cold and they still hold together. Just looking at them you wouldn't expect this. They take a little getting used to though. They're flexible and will spill if you don't take that into account...like I didn't the first couple of times I used them. Good stuff! |

03/03/2008 03:36PM Capital P, I received some of the bowls for a Christmas gift last year, and brought them on my trip last July. They were slick. Necessary, no. But handy. We left them unfolded and used them as plates for burritos, etc. When they were folded into bowls, we used them for soup, stews, etc. They were easy to assemble/disassemble, and easy to pack. They don't have a handle, so when there is hot stuff in them, I held on to the top, or put it on my crazy creek chair. I liked them and will use them again. |

03/03/2008 01:39PM ive used (past tense) the bowls. four nice creases for food to hide in. those also make it impossible to use it as a mixing bowl. nice concept though. Jan |

03/03/2008 01:38PM I use a small rubbermaid collapseable bowl that I bought at the grocery store and a old plastic plate. Cheap and works for me. Rubbermaid Bowl |

03/03/2008 01:36PM Anybody ever use this foldable camping kitchenware? Thought about giving it a trial run in the BW this summer, but would like to hear opinions of those who have used it. Is everyone else using Lexan stuff? Thanks. |
