Utensils These anodized (hardened) aluminum sporks, forks, knives, and spoons are lighter than titanium models, but cost about 30 percent less, and there's a style for every hiker. Eat-out-of-the-baggers: Choose the long-handled spoon for digging every last noodle from the folds and corners without gunking up your knuckles. Each style comes with a mini carabiner so you can clip it to your pack. $6-15; .4-1.3 oz.; seatosummit.com
