I am very much an indoorsy type, so I have no need of this foldable spork in the context of camping or picnicking. However, I work full time and take my lunch to work with me. In the first few years of my job at my current employer, food was taken from my lunch box, so I quit taking silverware since I didn't want it to be stolen and just packed plasticware. I've since gotten an office job in a fairly quiet cubicle that hardly anyone visits, so I have a much lower concern of my items being stolen. I happened to come across this spork and thought it was brilliant. It wouldn't take up much space in my lunch bag, it wouldn't be as prone to bending as a silverware spoon or fork, and it would be easy to clean! I am happy to report this spork excels at all of the factors listed above. I can toss this in my lunch bag, sit down to lunch and eat my main lunch course, which can be items like a TV dinner, cup of rice or noodles, or packet of tuna, then eat side items like a fruit cup, yogurt, or for a treat, pudding. While the spork obviously doesn't work as well as a dedicated fork and can be a tiny bit of a squeeze in some fruit cups, it still works well and is much more direct (and less wasteful) than having a stash of plasticware! Once I get home, a quick rinse, dab of dish soap, scrub and one more quick rinse followed by a dry-off, and this spork is ready for the next day! While the wire frame handle may feel a tad unorthodox, it lends further durability to this spork. I can honestly say that if I were to stand on a freeway overpass and drop this spork onto the freeway and let traffic run over it for a while, I feel confident that I could just retrieve the spork, clean it off really well, and keep on using it! I am contemplating getting another one of these sporks, just to have a backup on hand in case I forget to clean mine or if it gets lost! So again, I may not be able to rate this spork's usage with regards to camping or picnicking, but I can say with absolute certainty that it works wonderfully as a lunch box or bag utensil!
