Day -41: The Scoop & Stab

Quick post because I am already half drunk and tired of staring at this cold dead computer screen.  You would think that I would be on a bike ride right now getting in shape for the trip but you would be so fucking wrong.

Anyway, post time.

Assume that on the trip I will be eating.  To do this I have four options – liquid diet, hand to mouth, mouth to plate, or utensils.  I am going with the final option – utensils.  Sure, I could pack a plastic spoon, a plastic knife and a plastic fork.  That would be lightweight and easily replaceable. Or, I could pack an”Ozark Trail” Stainless Steel compact fork, knife and spoon set.

Consisting of 2 utensils, and utilizing a “Swiss Army” knife approach, these bad boys include a knife, a fork, a spoon, a bottle opener, a can opener, and a corkscrew all in two compactable yet sturdy 4″ x 1″ metal contraptions which also combine into one single utensil (like the Dinobots).

So you can eat soup, chomp beans, pound beer, stab intruders and corkscrew their bloodshot eyes out all in one package.
