My son and I went camping last night and I forgot utensils. I figured it was a good chance to reiterate how to adapt and overcome so I whipped out my hawk and made these in a couple minutes.
We survived the ordeal.

I once reused a gas station coffee cup/lid for several days on a hunting trip, having forgotten my nice insulated mug. That sorta sucked.
Also have cooked and consumed a large steak over an open fire with only my pocket knife and a couple pieces of rebar ... no plate, no paper towel, no bowl, no problem.
Nice, I’ve made similar food scoopers myself.
Speaking of hand made utensils.
I have a theory that chopsticks were not just super easy to source in nature if you had bamboo/cane, trees or shrubs around, but that they were an elegant solution to make eating a small portion of food take longer so you feel like you’re eating more.

I was just messing around with the idea when I did this.
Used a Victorianox Swiss Army knife.
Best one we ever had was a carved wooden spoon we picked up at a Civil War camp reinactment. Had such a great feel, but somehow it was lost in our move to NH.

03RN: Son, get me a spoon.

We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.
