I bought this as a back-up eating utensil. I used to carry a full-sized titanium spork as my back-up, but this one won me over because it’s ridiculously lightweight and small enough to tuck into a pocket.

I absolutely love this little thing! In addition to its role as a back-up to my Morsel spork, I use this spoon to scoop trail mix. (In 2023 there was a norovirus outbreak along the PCT in Washington that appeared to be centered around the Mike Urich cabin. This incident made me keenly aware of no matter how many times I wash my hands, as soon as I touch something they’re potentially re-contaminated.)

I’m not such a gram weenie that I’m going to use this as my primary eating utensil. It’s so short that it’d be difficult to adequately stir/mix meals, and I’d very likely end up getting food on my hands. But it’ll work as a back-up, and it’s great for scooping up snacks. It’s a winner!
