Three words for ya. Camping. Is. Fun. Besides the heat, the cold, the rain, the wasps, ticks, poison ivy, and animals that would devour you given the chance, it’s one of the most enjoyable experiences you’ll have. Prepping and lugging the necessities into the great outdoors can present some other challenges. Did you remember your sleeping bag and headlamp? Tent and toiletries? Clothes and food?
Speaking of food: while you can get by on trail mix and 5-year old Spam, nothing beats cooking your own meals. The problem? More stuff to pack in your bag. But you can start whittling weight and extras down with some smart design.

THE SPLITTER
True to its name, THE SPLITTER is a multi-function utensil that is a spatula and a long ol’ spork. When combined using a stainless steel clip-pin, it’s like the VOLTRON of camping gear–the two form a pair of tongs. If you’ve ever camped, you know how this 3-in-1 tool could help make cooking outdoors more convenient and less laborious.
Created by outdoor accessory company Full Windsor, it’s a 50-gram utensil made from stainless 1-mm sheet Titanium with a number of spatula, spork, and tongs features which cater to spatula, spork, and tongs aficionados.
A lot of people seem to love the idea of having a compact cooking utensil because the Splitter overshot its initial $15,000 Kickstarter goal by over 10 times with a final funding of $164,713. You can find out more and snag one on THE SPLITTER Kickstarter page.
