Gear Review - Light My Fire Meal Kit

Elizabeth has yet another review for us. This one is on the Light My Fire Meal Kit.

If you are not a gear junkie, like Outdoorzy member Nomad75, you are probably like most campers/backpackers and piece together a homemade meal kit. For at least ten years, my husband’s camping kit consisted of yellow plastic divided round plates, one thick plastic measuring cup (used for drinking) and disposable cutlery.

Recently we took an overnight camping/canoe trip in style because we tried out the new Light My Fire Meal Kit!! I was amazed at the versatility of kit components.

Light My Fire Meal Kit Components

• Container (doubles as plate/bowl)
• Spatula/Cutting Board
• Cup with attached lid/spout
• Small Bowl
• Spork

First of all, we had forgotten a spatula, so when the turkey burgers were ready to flip, I quickly grabbed the strainer/cutting board and it worked great!

Next I realized that we had forgotten to pack any plates, so I used the top and bottom of the casing as a plate for our turkey burgers with plenty of room for the garbanzo bean salad. I can tell they would also be perfect for soupy recipes or deserts!

I think my husband found a new love on our canoe trip and it’s name is the Light My Fire Spork. He is raving about the all in one spoon, knife, and fork. The next morning I realized that I had packed two pouches of oatmeal but forgot to bring bowls. Jumping into action, I grabbed the Light My Fire cup complete with lid ans drinking/pouring spout. I popped the lid off, which is attached by a small nylon rope, and I quickly had an oatmeal bowl. Another nice feature is that all the lids in the set snap on so they are very secure!

Last but not least there is a small storage bowl with lid that can be used to pack powders, solids, or other needed meal supplies. The set is made of thick plastic so heat did not transfer making it pleasant to hold while eating. The space saving Light My Fire Meal Kit saved us on this trip; guess my brain took it’s own vacation from packing.
