Yeah, that's the ting that didn't make sense to me either, why do I want prongs on a spoon? Regarding the Tilley hat, I've had mine at least 30 years. I'm pretty sure it wasn't some sort of a fashion statement when I bought, I bought it to keep the sun off my head.

I too have the same Thermarest compressible pillow, love it. My wife uses the Fun Guy livery Thermarest compressible pillow, along with a Nemo Fillo pillow, fully inflated put under her sleep pad. The Fillo tilts up her pad, which helps her sleep, kind of simulates a wedge pillow, which she...

I have one of these Bitty Big Q grill, which I really like. https://bittybigq.com/

Hamburgers in the bush are great, oh so good! Regarding spam and the like, the only individually portioned, foil-pouch 'meat' I have been able to find in Canada is Clover Leaf tuna, single slices of spam, or pouches of chicken, don't seem to be available.

I bought a RBW map case last summer, I'm really impressed with the quality. https://recreationalbarrelworks.com/product/paddlers-map-case/

I have one of those red poly Nalgene bottles too, love the included funnel. Their banned? How come?
