Sometimes it’s the smallest gadgets that make the biggest difference. The Wildo Spork weighs just 9 grams but handles virtually every meal on the trip. A spoon, fork, and a small cutting edge all in one tool—simple, functional, and just as well-thought-out as we want our gear to be.
At 9 grams, it’s also lighter than many titanium spork models on the market. Sure, titanium has its charm, but when the plastic version weighs less, costs less, and works just as well for freeze-dried meals, oatmeal, and tonight’s pasta, the choice is pretty simple.
We’ve chosen to stock the Wildo Spork in orange. Partly because it happens to be Backpackinglight’s color, but mainly because it stands out. It might sound like a minor detail until the day you drop your cutlery in the grass at a rest stop, in the blueberry bushes outside your tent, or in the snow during a winter hike.
Many outdoor items disappear because they blend in with the natural surroundings. This one doesn’t. The bright orange color stands out against almost any natural background and makes the spork much easier to find again when the light starts to fade or the campsite is messy after dinner.
Wildo manufactures its products in Sweden, and the Spork is no exception. It’s made from high-quality BPA-free plastic that can withstand many years of use. The small serrated edge along the side is effective enough to cut through sausage, cheese, or other foods without making the tool unnecessarily complicated.
This isn’t a piece of cutlery meant to impress weight-watchers or gadget collectors. It’s a piece of cutlery you take with you, use every day, and that keeps working year after year.
