'It's nice to get good verification as feedback, you know when you ride you look for the people with the same kit as yours and see if they like theirs as much as you like yours, it's just to make sure you have the best stuff.'

Haha, so obviously an ex-soldier; can't resist checking everyone elses' kit out. I'm willing to bet you probably chastise people who have undone pockets or badly packed sacks!

All correct though, I see exactly where you are coming from, and I go the same route of 'back to basics.' If you wouldn't want to stick it in a bergen and carry it - don't take it.

So in conclusion - more wasted bandwidth - I haven't actually added anything to Lee's post or the topic in general!

So er yeah...I don't carry a spork.

The combat spoon though - that is a whole different story....

Happy riding.

Joel

Firstly: Karter no offence but what's the longest you have been out in the field cooking for?


Secondly:
Undone pockets = Loosing things, very bad
Badly packed sack = Sores, bad back, tiredness

If you wouldn't want to stick it in a bergen and carry it - don't take it. = Exactly right

I wonder if he bought the SPORK, oh NASA didn't do as good a job with packing those solar panels as they did making the SPORK, now if ony they had me on the team to pack their kit right.

who wouldve thought an 80p piece of plastic would cause so much fuss?

i like sporks, i carry a few because they fit in my panset nicely, i use them to eat with and cook with without scratching the nonstick off and they're "gadgety" which i like. sad i know.

i completely see where the detractors are coming from though, sporks arent perfect and not up to real hot cooking, they do melt after a while. thats why i carry a few at a time.
if you are in the wilds and cooking over an open fire and your cutlery has to double as tyre levers or something then i would steer clear of sporks, but im rarely more than a couple of miles from a supermarket and my modest cooking is mostly stirring through a tin of something as it warms on the stove, usually eating straight out of the pan like a cross between a chinese peasant and a giant hog. the sporks just suits my style

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
