Just spotted the Terra Nova Chopsticks for sale on GearZone.co.uk (chopsticks).
Would that just be the ultimate sad gear freak thing to do or what??

I think i need help if i buy these! Still, it's an excuse to get a chinese takeaway while mild camping.

I thought that when i first saw em...

Can use to eat, and as emergency tent pegs, probably. Not much use for soup i'm told.

If you sharpened the ends you could use them as knitting needles.

wouldn't a pair of wooden chopsticks be the lightweight version?

TDave, surely they're hollow so you can suck the soup up like a straw.

Cocktail swizzle stick for those who just have to.

If they're the old carbon pegs, then they'd double as crossbow bolts. Lethal little points on em, easily pierce the tent, already out of the bag. I've got the pro action tentpegs with mine, as i bought more pegs (titanium i though), and what were they?

More little bleeding crossbow bolts! aarggghh!

Wooden ones would be lighter, but... do they close down into a neat little plastic box (that probably weighs 40g)?!

Plus you can put the sigg bottles and pots and pans out in your porch and you've got a lightweight drumkit.
