Now this looks cool! (to add to your bp kitchen)

“I just might get this set - looks like it'll break down to 1-2 ounces each. I often wish I had a plate when I'm making burritos or a wrap (though when I bring my bear cannister the lid works okay)...

“why add another 2 ounces if the bear lid works?”

“I think she's saying she would bring it on trips where she doesn't have the bear can.”

“Bingo. And this cup is definitely lighter than the one I use now... But I don't know how easy it is to hold.”

“ok makes sense. I just use my pot lid since its gonna be with me regardless.”

“My pot lid is too small :p

Last year on my Cathedral Lake trip Hikerduane and I had burritos for dinner and pancakes for breakfast - the plate definitely would have come in handy! And sometimes I hike with folks who like to make communal meals so you need your own bowl. The bowl I use now is a tupperwear one but it's got two ridges that make it a little tough to clean. I think cleaning these would be very easy as they unfold flat.

Anyway, I liked the concept and the weight of these pieces!”

“Looks like siliconized polymer, the kind they make flexible bakeware out of now. Cool stuff.”

“yeah sounds like you need a plate. I don't do meals like that backpacking. Ramen, rice, tuna for supper...grits or poptart for breakfast. I can't cook pancakes at home let alone on the trail :D”

“Until this past year I didn't really care about my meals on the trail or while camping, it was the simpler the better. But I've been out nearly every weekend and the usual simple trail/camp fare is getting old quick like!”

“Looks like you could use the plate as a cutting board too.
Smoething I've wanted a number of times on the trail.”

“I use a Frisbee for a plate. It holds the food good, and then if I have other people with me we have somthing to play with.”

“I've taken frisbees before, but they were kind of a pain to clean off. They also can be used as a snow shovel when snow camping.”

“The frisbee idea is great.

I was looking at that set just this morning. BC, I'm wondering if the snaps would get gunky.”

“Oh, probably, lol”

“Using a Frisbee was something we learned in Boy Scouts when I was little. Haven't done it in a long time though... not since I could afford Titanium everything :D”

“I almost posted this when I saw it in the mountain gear catalogue. I have thought about getting it for trips with KabinKamper.”

“I especially like the folding cup because regular ones are so bulky. But it does look like it'd be awkward to hold.

Neat concept! Thanks for sharing BC!”
