Frequently Asked Questions
Which cutlery should you choose for hiking?
A light, compact set bringing together a spoon and fork, in titanium for lightness, stainless steel for toughness, or technical plastic if you're on a budget. A long handle makes all the difference when you're eating freeze-dried meals straight from the pouch.
Titanium or stainless steel for cutlery?
Titanium is ultra-lightweight, strong and taste-neutral but pricey; stainless steel is tough, long-lasting and affordable, just a touch heavier. For lightweight trekking, go titanium; for regular everyday use on a budget, stainless steel is a great choice.
What is a combo cutlery set?
It's a utensil that combines several functions (spoon-fork, sometimes knife) in a single piece, to save weight and space. Handy when you're on your own; if you want to cook and eat in comfort, a separate set might suit you better.
How to clean your cutlery when wild camping
Wipe clean and rinse with water, using a little biodegradable soap if needed, well away from water sources. Titanium and stainless steel are easy to clean and dry quickly; store them dry to avoid any residue.
