Camping Dinner Set for 1

[annie0000]

Hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations for a really good packaway camping crockery set for 1 person. It's for my boys when they go away to camp with the scouts. they need to take a mug, a bowl and a plate - I've been giving them various assorted plastic things and they have a Spork each for cutlery, but I'd love to find a good quality set that folds away neatly that they could take.

Thanks in advance :o)

Surely The Scouts have some recommendations? Try Go Outdoors.

Thanks guys

smurf - thats kind of what they have - just cheap stuff, but it doesn't fit together and takes up space - I was hoping there was a nice wee kit.

smart, that not a bad option - doesn't seem to have a bowl though.

zacs - yeah you'd think wouldn't you!? lol - been on go outdoors and nothing that hits the mark.

DT - they are serious enough but that would be a bit expensive given that they are probably going to lose bits. Looks good kit though.

Have you got a local 'army surplus' style shop?

[DTCwordfan]

all "real" camping gear seems to be pricy - make a point of it re responsibility and you may be surprised.....after all they are scouts...I am presuming young teenagers? If not, cheap and nasty!

[annie0000]

fraid not twix - there was one but it seems to have closed down.

no DT they are 10 and 11 eldest has camped away 14 nights so far and youngest is on 8. - they even camped a night away last month and it was -6 overnight.

actually smart - had another look at that link - not a bowl as such, but I am sure that the quart pot thing could do - also gave me a new angle for googling of looking for a mess kit and getting loads more options. ta.

[DTCwordfan]

then cheap and functional makes sense..........

That "light my fire meal kit" looks just the job I think. that came up on both DT link and when I searched for mess kit on ebat so looks like fate may be pointing to it - at around £15 a set it is priced about right and I can get it two different colours so they know who's is who's and won't be blaming each other for losing bits :o)
