year but sometimes its every other year.\u00a0 Usually 5 days on the water.\u00a0 The first trip we used an outfitter &#8211; they were great but we had three packs and were carting around a cast iron frying pan and a side of bacon.\u00a0 We portaged and paddled\u00a0 every day and fantasized about lighter packs.\u00a0 Despite the triathalon feel of the trip we couldn&#8217;t wait to go back the next year.\u00a0 So I scrounged up some canoe packs and we packed ourselves.\u00a0\u00a0 Our new meal plan leaned heavily on the modern (and lightweight) wonder of freeze dried meals.\u00a0 But on the second trip we realized that there was an issue:\u00a0 we were using standard issue, second string utensils from the junk drawer back home, which leaves your hand all gooky because the food bag is deeper than the spoon is long, and at the end of the day you&#8217;re really digging into those bags.\u00a0 A regular spoon is just too short for most freeze dried meals, and fortunately we weren&#8217;t the first geniuses to notice this.\u00a0<\/p><p>Enter the Long Spoon.\u00a0 Available where quality camping supplies are sold.\u00a0<\/p><p>The long spoon became a critical piece of the trip and a badge of honor.\u00a0 We laughed at rookies with their short spoons and hands covered in freeze dried Pad Thai.\u00a0 Still do.\u00a0 Look forward to it actually.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p
