Gear review - Camping silverware

Camping silverware German Military Cutlery   195g   19cm   Euro 9,95

I know these cutleries from my military time, and learned that it is of good quality. Therefore I wanted to use it on my motorcycle travels, and then bought it from a military surplus store.

Minimalists certainly would never take such silverware on a trip. but rather take a Spork (spoon-fork). That certainly is much smaller and lighter too, but I just need at least as little comfort as proper utensils.

Conclusion: I think it is a good set of silverware for trips, and therefore recommend it.

A set of German military cutlery is also available at Amazon.com.

Polo   Travel Cutlery   160g   18cm   Euro 4,95

For my wife (then girl friend) I bought this cheap travel cutlery for our first motorcycle travel together, as I wasn't sure if she would like traveling by motorcycle at all.

It is obvious that this silverware is supposed to be a copy of the German military one. The only real difference is that this set doesn't stay together, therefore it comes in a plastic cover.

The knife is quite blunt, but that ca be changed. If the can opener works is questionable, as it is very blunt too, but I have a real one with me anyway.

Conclusion: The silverware isn't bad, and the price is hard to beat.

Camping spatula

Globetrotter   Jetboil Spatula   15g   13x6cm   Euro 7,95

Eve though I don't take a frying pan on trips, the spatula was a good investment. At least i most cases one ca use a pot instead of a frying pan. Especially for scrambled eggs the spatula has prove to be helpful. 

Conclusion: A normal plastic spatula doesn't eve cost half of what this one costs, but it is much bigger and a little heavier too. Everybody has to decide for themself  if the size is more important than the price. At first I was a little worried about how sturdy this spatula would be, as it looks very thi and fragile, but I used it o several motorcycle trips now, and it held up quite well.

 

  

  

Camping cooking spoon

 

Globetrotter   Cooking Spoon   45g   30cm   Euro 5,95

Since I have a Teflon coated pot I can't just use my stainless steel spoon anymore for stirring, as it would damage the coating.

Conclusion: It is rather big, ad I have thought of sawing it off, but so far I always found a space for it.

Camping can opener

 

Fackelmann   Can Opener   96g   16cm   Euro 1,95

Yes, most of the cans don't require a ca opener anymore, but not all of them.

Conclusion: The can opener is practical, and small, ad when it is too rusty one just gets a new one, it isn't expensive at all.
