Long handled spoon

[Smokey Bear]

Any recommendations for a long handled spoon? Want to use this for freeze dried meals. Tired of digging the bottom of the bag getting the last out of it without getting it all over my fingers. Been looking at the Toaks titanium. Do you like the spoon or spork? Thanks.

Been using a cheap plastic serving spoon with a long handle for years. It is the way to go.

The real question is why is the freeze dried bag so much bigger than necessary?

Wow, thats a hell of a deal. Never used Aliexpress before. Are they pretty reliable?

I figure every time I order I'm going to get burned but haven't yet. Most of the crap is cheap so if I get burned it won't be for much. There have been delays here and there and they've informed me of the delay. I have had one order cancelled for an unknown reason. I log in via Apple and use PayPal to hide and cover myself.

Titanium is more rough than other options so food tends to stick to it making clean up less convenient. I've always used a spork for no particular reason.

The Toaks has a polished bowl, that might help with the sticking issue.

That would be better for sure

I have a couple of these sea to summit ones and some meals really stick to the coating

Why not just cut the bag down? You probably have a separate trash bag anyhow.

I have the Peax Spoon. Got it a few years ago under their free promo. It's OK but it's kind of a PITA to clean when water is scarce.

I also have a cheap plastic one that works just the same.

I whittle a new spoon for every meal from caribou rib or chestnut branches

Polished bowl is the way. Also invest in one of the Hyperlite pouches and transfer your freeze dried meals to freezer ziplocs. Saves weight, less deep bag to contend with and meals pack much smaller

I use plastic. Either the foldable from MSR or the extendable from Jetboil.

haha I got one through their promo as well. I call it my free $7 spoon because it was free + $7 shipping.

Somehow still felt like I got ripped off. lol

Yeah I don't even remember how I got it because mine was free free. I got shipping covered even.

I have one of the Toaks long handled spoons, but I usually just cut the bag shorter and it’s a non issue.

I like the Toaks polished Ti spoon. I also have a Sea to Summit Al spoon, but the finish is rough and food sticks, so the Toaks I what I always use.

Most of the bags have a ziplock to it and it’s nice to stuff other garbage in it when I’m done.
