Can you get, such a thing as a ......
A titanium teaspoon?
I have a folding titanium spork to stir my food and eat but I normally boil some water first to make a drink then whilst I make that I stir my food.
I have to keep on licking the food off my spoon so I can finish my drink off.
I know I found have two sports but find its a little big to stir drinks.
I know I could use a plastic or steel teaspoon, but why have those when I could have titanium.
Any ideas???

Never seen a ti tea spoon. Couldn't you just use the handle? Or grab some plastic stirrers from McDonald's?Adventurer wrote:A titanium teaspoon?

I use the packet that my coffee came in to stir it or if I'm feeling posh I might use a stick

Is it for the stirring action? A stick or a tyre lever maybe?
I'll get out in my garden and weigh various twigs and prepare a chart for later...
Or for the spoon-ness of it? in that case only $210 dollars will get you one, you can even choose the colour! http://www.titaniumdream.com/catalog/hause/25139/
On an unrelated note, where I can I source squares of cuben? I'm finding these heavy linen napkins are adding to the weight of my bivvy set up

Just cut a square and use a red marker to make it gingham-y. You could make a huge profit!

Funny isn't it
You can buy titanium tent pegs, titanium stoves, titanium spoons, knives and forks, titanium windscreens, titanium pedals, titanium frames. So what's so strange asking for a titanium tea spoon. I thought it was a sensible question. I'd rather not use a stick as I would prefer not to have D&V during a backpacking trip. Plastic ones can break and those small plastic sticks are useless.
I thought instead of carry two full sized sporks/spoons I could at least save a little weight and just have a normal tea spoon.
As I don't 'drink' I find having a spoon a nice idea. As I won't be having to carry a titanium hips flask of whisky.

You forgot a ti cafetiere! (He says as the proud owner of one that's still not been used 8 months on...)
Half a ti-chopstick?
Take a Dremel to a regular ti spoon/spork?

Re: Can you get, such a thing as a ......
I shall make it my quest to find you one. If I don't succeed, how about I send you a length of carbon that you can use as a stirrer?

Well, I have a spare snow peak spork with a fixed handle, and I'm going to cut the spoon off and just have a titanium stick.
So there......
Now for odd titanium items, what about this from alpkit, a titanium cup, but with no handle. How do you hold it with hot liquid inside, unless you wear gloves.
https://www.alpkit.com/products/goblit
The thing is, it's sold out so It must be good.
Now I love alpkit items but ..
I've just bought that little titanium stove from alpkit. I was using a primus remote spider stove. I've weighed them and I think I've made a weight saving of around 150g. So every little helps.

The Kelvin? It's insulated, not a good idea to put a flame under it...
Edit; just seen you meant the tea drinking thing...

Yes but you're still carrying round 125g of dead fuel canisterI've just bought that little titanium stove from alpkit. I was using a primus remote spider stove. I've weighed them and I think I've made a weight saving of around 150g. So every little helps.

You are correct but I'm still a little concerned about some of issues around flaring or knocking over the stove full of alcohol.
Wanted the option to simmer as well.
Maybe in the future, but one step at a time.

And I think just a normal spoon is actually what he meant! Oh well
it was a fun ride :D
Just for the record, how much is a square foot of cuben? I reckon that and a hole punch (and 15 mins of time) would make a nice ultra-lightweight doily to annoy my bivvying friend :)

Re: Can you get, such a thing as a ......
If you're worrying about 125g off your kit you better have a body fat of <4%. Otherwise, you can do this easier and cheaper off you. Otherwise, you're just kidding yourself.
Less cake in the cake hole.
FWIW, I never weigh kit. I do weigh myself.
