(!buyitforlife)

So the idea of “buy it for life” is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

    Toaks works great too. I’ve used my Toaks titanium cookware for hundreds of nights camping.

    Also, steel bikes rock. For those reading, you can spray the inside of the tubing with a rust inhibitor from any hardware store. Any scratches on the outside of the frame can be touched up with clear nail polish to prevent rusting.

      Yes! We actually have both the “narrow” and “wide” (if that’s what they call it) Toaks sporks. The wide is very similar to the Snow Peak spork, but the fork portion is slightly longer on the Snow Peak (while still maintaining a very good spoon shape).

      I’ve been using the narrow version as a secondary utensil and my son the wide version for as long as I’ve had my Snow Peak spork.

      You can’t go wrong with either of those. I’m a fan of titanium and use a titanium mug on a daily basis. Just love the durability and light weight!
