In the woods without a spoon

When you're out on hitch in the woods for ten days at a time, bowl and spoon struggles arise. Sometimes you have a choice of grabbing a good utensil, but sometimes the van is just TOO far away or you just plain forgot it somewhere. List time!

Things we’ve used in place of a bowl:
Measuring cup
Half a Styrofoam tray
Large silver serving bowl
Flimsy cutting board
Salsa lid
Glove
Diced tomatoes can
Coconut milk can
Aluminum pot cover
Nalgene
Plastic baggie
Pineapple chunks can
Jelly jar
Yogurt container
Nothing
Mossy ground
Bucket lids
Wrappers
  
Things we’ve used in place of utensils:
Rubber spatula
Spoon carved out of a stick
Hot chocolate lid
Library card
Tongs
Sticks
Carrots
Celery
A butter knife
Pitas
Tortillas
Jelly lid
Hands
Ice cream spoon from the store
A headlamp

Probably to be continued-- we've still got three hitches left!
