Long Handled Spoons Views
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well-nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
This spoon is fantastic! It is just the right length, very light-weight, relatively inexpensive, and unlike the GSI Rehydrate spoon, the bottom of the spoon (the bowl) is actually spoon-like so that it can be used to eat runny items and soup. The very bottom is somewhat flat which is great for getting into the bottom seam of food bags. This spoon is nearly IDENTICAL (it has the Backcountry.com name etched into it rather than another company/'s) to the others long-handled Ti spoons available (e.g. REI, Sea to Summit, etc.), but is nearly HALF THE PRICE!
I don 't know who came up with the long handled spoon originally but it address the problem of stiring up your dehydrated dinner after you pour in the boiling water. It reaches into the corners of the bags much better that regular spoons and keeps you from burning your fingers in the stew. Then scoops the meal out of the bag without getting goo all over your paws. I would suggest that they turn it into a spork for the ultimate camping utensil.
I've always loved this story, not the least because I can picture what a glorious mess would ensue as the blessed people fed each other with the long-handled spoons - which is, of course, the nature of real community and the nature of Basement Medicine which mends best when it is administered with long-handled spoons. I feed you. You feed me.
