works great, easy to pack By Geekmama from Western Mass on 06/27/2009 Pros: Compact, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I was very impressed with these. They kept my kids busy building them so I could build the first night's fire. They handled hot chocolate, instant oatmeal and other hot foods without leaking or falling apart. They don't clean great until you take them apart. I could pack dishware for 4 in the space of a bunch of sheets of paper.
By WI Paddler from Madison, WI on 06/04/2009 Pros: Compact, Easy To Clean, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Easy to use, packs flat. Just be careful not to fill them too full! :)
By Josh from Jackson, Tennessee on 04/30/2009 Pros: Compact, Easy To Clean Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got these on a good sale at STP, so I thought they would be worth spending a little on. They are a cute little camping toy. They will work, I've used them and they were kind of fun to use, but they certainly aren't as durable as using a frisbee as a plate or a hard, plastic, insulated mug. All in all, I recommend them to casual hikers who want a new toy to play with- if that's what you're looking for, then you won't be disappointed.

It is very light and flat!

Origami dishes - how cool is that?! By The Camping Fiend from Aurora, CO on 12/24/2008 Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Stable Cons: None yet - havent used em Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Well, since we havent had the chance to use these yet (it's a wee bit chilly for back-country camping right now), we cant say much about them...except that we've played with them a bit; they seem quite stable, and easy to fold. Quite ingenius, really. We can't wait to try them out on our next backpacking trip!
I've used this stuff for years By Zombie Woof from Deerfield, NH on 12/20/2008 Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Clean, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I usually eat right out of the pot but when I use a plate or bowl this is it. Put it back in the tyvek bag it comes in, slide it down against the back of your pack, it'll lay flat enough. Unfold it wipe it clean or just lick it clean! 2D beats 3D any day in a pack
By Charlie from Wilmington, DE on 09/22/2008 Pros: Compact, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping, Day trip Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this set for backpacking. I like it because it breaks down flat. It may not lay perfectly flat, but once it gets in your pack it is essentially flat.
I found the pieces easy to assemble without instructions.
The bowl is unmanageable with hot food. I find I must put the bowl in the plate before I can use it.
Fluid spills out of the cup if you if you tilt it a certain way. Be careful or wear it.
Despite all of the listed flaws, I recommend this setup to anyone willing to forgive the inconveniences inherent in living out of a backpack.
By dr greg from redding calif on 08/13/2008 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: poor chinese imitation of japanese product from 1980's (which were a delight). new plastic is too heavy hence corners wont stay folded.
Looks very useful for travel By Arequipa from Palo Alto, CA on 08/06/2008 Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Clean, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: Picnic while traveling Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The instructions are pretty useless - folding them the first time is challenging but you can work it out. A sense of humor helps. They will not lie completely flat again. However, the plastic is strong and easy to clean and we think the set will be very useful. We plan to use it to make the occasional light sandwich and fruit meal while traveling, both in the hotel and as we're out sightseeing. The mugs will be nice to use in the bathroom also as one wonders about the cleanliness of what you find there.
