Just had a brain fart and thought, I bet chop sticks would work for stakes. And they are free and light. Plz give your thoughts.
Jan 13, 2010 at 12:22 pm #1562369Are they made out of titanium or wood? Wood probably would break going into the ground, and I bet would break with just a little bit of stress. Perhaps if you burried them sideways, they might… but that is not pratical in most circumstances.
Jan 13, 2010 at 12:26 pm #1562373Sure they'd work…and after that, you could laminate a few take-away boxes as poor man's Orikasos. I bet that you could use the fortunes from the fortune cookies as toilet paper, too!
Jan 13, 2010 at 1:23 pm #1562385How bout tent stakes as chop sticks? My Titanium goat carbon stakes would work great, especially cuz i accidentally smashed the heads off of two of them. But still, fingers were invented first.

But I think using Ti tent stakes as chop sticks sounds cool!
