Place Setting .001

You can find sets of plates, bowls, utensils from many companies. I liked the GSI Cascadian collection (also available in a 4 person set).

I finally decided on this set because they were durable, I liked the size, and I loved all of the colors.

GSI Cascadian 4 person set

When it comes to size I was looking for a few unique things.  First, the plate has a rather large lip around it.  When I’m traveling solo I don’t eat at a table…but rather by the fire in my camp chair.  I liked that this provided a little extra support to not end up with a taco salad in my lap.  The bowls aren’t huge, but they are big enough that I also used them to scramble eggs, serve vegetables, etc.  I love that versatility. And the utensils…GAME CHANGER!  These things are sturdy, the knife is sharp and will actually cut your food.  I like them so much that I carry a set in my bag with me at all time. Even when I’m not camping I’ll pull them out to use when a restaurant gives me flimsy utensils.

I purchased mine directly through GSI, but you can find them at Amazon and some styles at REI.

My thoughts:

  • Durable
  • Easy to clean
  • Colorful
