Most of the range comes from Sweden's Stabilotherm: the birch wood kuksa cups from the Nak og Æd series, a 0.2 L folding cup, 0.4 L mugs, food bowls and wooden plates. Lifeventure has the Ellipse series with cup, plate, bowl and cutlery that clip onto a karabiner, plus Flexi versions in silicone that fold flat. For sporks we have the OutdoorStore spork in plastic and in stainless steel, the Trespass Snorky and the Light My Fire spork made together with Real Turmat. Petromax supplies enamel plates, Miltec an aluminium mess kit with folding handles, and Highlander a 180 mm camping pan.
What to look for
Material: Plastic is light and inexpensive, and Stabilotherm's plastic cups and bowls are dishwasher safe. Birch wood gives you the classic kuksa for coffee by the fire, while enamel and anodised aluminium can take rougher treatment.
Weight: The difference can be large within the same type. The OutdoorStore plastic spork weighs 8.6 g, the stainless steel version 44 g, and Stabilotherm's 0.4 L mug weighs 60 g.
Packed size: Folding cups and bowls take up almost no space. Stabilotherm's folding cup weighs 20 g, and the Lifeventure Flexi cup in silicone holds 350 ml and squashes flat.
Spork length: If you eat freeze-dried food straight from the pouch, a long spork is an advantage. The Light My Fire spork is 200 mm and made for Real pouches, while the OutdoorStore plastic spork is 180 mm.
Attachment and system: Lifeventure Ellipse pieces can hang from a karabiner on your belt or backpack and are made to be used together as a series.
