long, foldable spoon or spork

I find them less than satisfactory. I keep a long (8.5") Sea to Summit Alpha anodized aluminum spoon in my food bag. Plus it cleans up easier than Ti or Lexan. Weight is 11 grams. I like the curved bottom of the spoon — easy to get all the food out of the bottom of a freezer bag without making a mess.

Just keep it somewhere else, like in the food bag or canister.

It looks like MSR and REI make some:

I had the same problem with fit and am currently using the MSR folding spoon. It lasted through a recent week long trip and fits nicely inside of my caldera fosters pot. After loosing my last pricy long spoon I decided to go with something cheaper that I'll probably never loose (just because it's cheap). Now if I can keep from breaking it all will be well.

You can always DIY with a plastic spoon, Popsicle stick and duck tape.

Yeah, I did that on my last trip, and it was OK. I did prefer to keep my utensil and pot/mug in the same place to stay organized, but the food bag is not a terrible solution.

I'm not aware of anyone making a longer folding spoon. Store your spoon elsewhere as others mentioned, or rearrange your meals to using a short spoon (not likely if you like your setup).

Nick,
What bag is that in the picture.

Thanks

It is a Ziplock "Zip 'n Steam" microwave cooking bag. It is designed to cook food, whereas as a freezer bag is really only designed to store frozen food. Weighs 7g vs. 6g for a 1 quart freezer bag. There is a small vent at the top of the back of the bag, so you need to be a little careful anew keep the back upright when heating your food.

I had the same dilemma. My solution was to turn my Snow Peak ti spork into a breakdown. I cut the handle short enough to fit in my pot. I then cut the handle off a lexan spoon and slid on a 1.5" long piece of water filter hose over the small end. At camp, I just slide the ti handle of the spork into the piece of hose and whola! A long handled spork!

I have both the MSR folding spork, and the REI folding set.

The REI set is longer and has the side benefit of also being a set of chopsticks.

I like the REI spark for my jet boil.
