Hello,
I bought a military 1qt canteen, canteen cup, and cover to replace my stainless mess kit (the frying pan came up missing).
I'm trying to get more compact when I camp, and that's why I went with the canteen, cup and cover in favor of a new mess kit. I don't eat fancy when I camp (unless my parents, who love campfire cooking, come along). I cook meat on sticks over the fire, and pretty much anything else can be made interchangeably in a skillet or a pot.
For those of you who have used the canteen cup setup, what kind of silverware do you prefer? I have room in the canteen liner to stuff either a large (soup type) spoon next to the canteen and cup, or a small camping set of a knife, spoon and fork, but not both.
I've used large spoons and the camping set, and haven't found where one really outshines the other.
Is the small knife/fork/spoon set or a large spoon only preferred, and why? Or is there something else entirely that I should use?
Thanks,
Josh <><
