My daughter has the Ti chopsticks, she got them for Christmas one year. She likes them, and actually uses them on the trail.

I much prefer a long handled Ti spoon over anything else. Yes, I have melted and even broken the unbreakable Lexan tableware.

My personal useless yuppie gear that I won't hike without is my inflatable pink flamingo which fits over a tent stake. It adds the perfect touch of home (and suggests that I'm not taking this hiking thing too seriously....)
