Didn’t realize camping required Chinese throwing sporks. That thing looks deadly, and a boomerang to boot, so you miss your target, you might get four tines in the forehead.
@haydesigner no slur, just a very long running expression. I have gay friends and we all say that together. Its all in fun. Maybe you need to check your PC bullsh@t at the door.
Yes they’re being politically correct but they’re not wrong, what you say matters and the choice to use a word that represents a segment of the population as a negative term to describe something else implies negativity about that group of people. By using the term ‘gay’ to embody negative feelings or thoughts about a thing, you are simultaneously also implying that being gay is a negative thing. English is such a rich and diverse language with a plethora of words to choose from that evoke the sentiments you wished to express, why choose one that carries with it an implicit negative message?
@Jerrold as a gay man, let me tell ya… You don’t have gay friends. You have gay people who put up with your bullshit and roll their eyes the minute you leave.
@yeppers hello fellow kids, are you playing the role of Boba the Fett? My favourite character in the Wars’ Stars is the Chewbacca, or maybe that Solo Han!
Very timely for me as I just picked up my 11 person (but more likely 4 to 5 person at most) semi instant setup Ozark trail tent. Now I will have some semi decent camping utensils to go with my supposedly semi decent tent…MEH
@Kidsandliz Thanks, going to pick some up. Two years ago went camping and got hit by a big rain storm, quickly learned about seam sealing after that experience…
@bigtom67 I guess I can tell you in a week if this is legit or not, but instead of a prepackaged seam seal, I was told (by my tent manufacturer) to thin silicone sealant (like GE Silicone II) with mineral spirits down to a warm-honey-like consistency. Without being particularly delicate (and this was on a silnylon ultralight), apply to all seams with a foam brush.
@Jerrold IMO your post above was inappropriate. Perhaps you said it to elicit reaction.
Also IMO, it should have simply been ignored.
Instead there was a pile of over the top high and mighty moral-superiority chest-beating in reaction to it. I’d guess they convinced nobody who had a tendency toward such a comment to change their future behavior. But they felt better.
@RedOak I wasnt trying to elicit a reaction, but will refrain from future references as it’s obviously a contentious point in this group. I’m not, nor ever intended to be, a troll. I also should have just dopped it. Thanks for the inpit.
@mtaphorn even still it’s a good deal, the mess kit, bowl, and cup are $35 alone on that site. Add shipping and I’m looking at $48.20 without the spork or knife (the pieces I don’t care about, plus they don’t sell that spork). I can’t fault Meh for not going to every little site on the net to find their price comparisons, Amazon policy is valid IMHO as they’re the most likely place to find competition.
@mtaphorn Some of these things seem oddly similar to other items as well, like they may be straight-up rebrands… The bowl thingy reminds me of these portion control doodads I freeze my stock in, and I’m sure I’ve seen carabiner-spork elsewhere…
Over dinner tonight my daughter and I talked about planning a trip to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail together, you glorious clairvoyant sons of a motherless close-out buyer. In for two. Huzzah!
How to eat when camping:
Step 1: Figure out meals that don’t look like swamp soil.
Step 2: Eat meals that don’t look like swamp soil, with whatever cheap, light, unbreakable crap you got in your camping pile in the cellar.
@AROAH I keep a spork in my pocket, I use it all the time. when people ask about it I say "you never know when someone will offer you ice cream"
Although I honestly stir coffee with it more than eat ice cream. or refuse disposable plasticware at restaurants.
Who Came up with that model number? I mean… I’d be expecting a Black set with something L… Not sure what…
BLSKGE6PCCB-20… wow…
How’s USG-6PC-CAMP. Who cares about the 20%… that’s part of the MSRP VS retail sale… and you have it priced much lower than 20%… so… I’m liking USG-6-CAMP or USG-6-C if you want it shorter…
{U} is for blue {B} is for black…
@warpedrotors Hello Warpedrotors! A familiar name from SD. I’m the SD’er you know as nekoman. We’ve had a few good discussions there. How’s your day going?
@danlo Slick Deals. I hang out there throughout the day, recognized the username from some conversations, and many posts about items. If you haven’t visited, check it out: slickdeals.net
Anyone else notice the Sporknife tool says “Boomer” on it, but the packaging has “Booma” (presumably the Australian-sounding pronunciation). Even the specs section has it listed different ways. IDK, just my weird observation.
I have the lunch bento thing from this (rebranded from another store). It’s not leak proof, so it doesn’t make a great bento box for tossing in your bag. Wish it was because otherwise it’d be great for holding curry and rice.
Hi everyone. I promised my friends I’d pop in over here from time to time and be social. I have been getting my daily emails about what’s for sale, and this is the first thing in 2 weeks that hasn’t been sold out when I got here. Wonder why.
Probably a fair price would be 10 -15 bucks but to add it up to 54 bucks give me a friggen break thats insanity on roids you loose credibility like that …

Camping out tonight for this deal – it made me blue
@AttyVette You may have tried too hard for “first”. Blue isn’t that difficult to spell.

That’s not a Fuku.

This will be perfect to keep at work. I am always looking for a utencil to eat with.
/image glorified-bored-pesto
I am a little tempted, for everything but the utensils. Getting a new camper van and we need to fill it with something!
@metageist have you considered filling it with bees?
or did I mean beer ?
I just got a bunch of nice backpacking stuff from REI but the all Japanese-made super expensive titanium stuff had me wallet shy. This will do!
@amillar7 Yeah, paying $15 for a fork that saves 3 grams of pack weight does not compute for me.
@melonscoop
Or pay $29 for an organic, sustainably harvested bamboo fork, then drill holes in the handle to save 3 grams.
@MehnofLaMehncha “You know what made that 3,000 foot climb through the foothills unbearable? All that extra spork weight.”
Just owning a quality blue spork makes this a great deal.
@daveinwarsh
Plus one that apparently doubles as a boomerang and throwing star.
Very timely for me as I just picked up my 11 person (but more likely 4 to 5 person at most) semi instant setup Ozark trail tent. Now I will have some semi decent camping utensils to go with my supposedly semi decent tent…MEH
@bigtom67 Hope you picked up a bunch of seam seal too… be worth doing that before you use it.
@Kidsandliz Realllllly hoping I successfully pulled that off on mine. Gulp.
@Kidsandliz Thanks, going to pick some up. Two years ago went camping and got hit by a big rain storm, quickly learned about seam sealing after that experience…
@bigtom67 I guess I can tell you in a week if this is legit or not, but instead of a prepackaged seam seal, I was told (by my tent manufacturer) to thin silicone sealant (like GE Silicone II) with mineral spirits down to a warm-honey-like consistency. Without being particularly delicate (and this was on a silnylon ultralight), apply to all seams with a foam brush.
@brhfl absolutely legit. Thin silicone is exactly what you get from pre packed seam sealer. Did you get a new TarpTent by chance?
@TheLunk Yes! Well actually I’ve had it for a while but this is the first time I’ve used it without a 99% certainty of dryness. Moment DW.
it might be worth it just for the spork.
then I remembered - I bought a titanium spork for about the price of this bundle.
I highly expected the northwest to be solid blue with purchases.
@jml326 I camp in a 19’ trailer with proper silverware.
/giphy modest-irate-aftermath
This will do splendidly while I audition the two tents I bought from REI this year.
What’s that fork boomerang thing?
@luvche21 It’s a fork you can’t throw away, so I guess it’s an ‘ecofork’. You toss it & it keeps coming back.
@luvche21 It’s a dish scraper. Helps A LOT when you’re trail camping and need to clean dishes after eating.
@daveinwarsh I can see this as a product commercial!
This could possibly be the worst product meh has ever offered… Or maybe I’m not the target demographic?
@jjohns71 you might not be the target demographic.
People sure get butt hurt on here easily.
@Jerrold IMO your post above was inappropriate. Perhaps you said it to elicit reaction.

@jbartus Not sure anyone is faulting them — they invite additional price comparisons in the thread.

@brhfl was just noting my feelings about the pricing choices Meh makes.
/image bps plastic
Want = 1
Need = 0
Will Use Once = 0.9
Will Use > Once = ~0.2
Must.
Apply.
Logic.
Already Have Similar Crap = 0.95
Use Similar Crap > Once = 1.0
Will Replace Similar Crap With This = ~0.3
I HATE $12 DECISIONS!!! Charge $25 for this stuff to make my life easier, please!!!
@Jonas4321 I dunno, $12 seems pretty expensive for this shit.
@Jonas4321 This is a very good guide!

I will never go camping, but the idea of a spork I can attach to my backpack is alluring.

@danlo I vote “Booma”
I have a bowl, a spoon and a knife to cut chopsticks from anything … unless I’m camping on the open sea. might get one anyway as a gift
Great for my son and grandson camping trips, he can run with this fork and knife and not get hurt…
@2bwilde This one might be my favorite comment so far!
I have the lunch bento thing from this (rebranded from another store). It’s not leak proof, so it doesn’t make a great bento box for tossing in your bag. Wish it was because otherwise it’d be great for holding curry and rice.
When you don’t have any camping gear at all, this shit plus the price looks pretty damn good.
