Whenever I am talked into hauling myself up a mountain (rarely), I figure I’ll pack light, since I get tired enough from simply hiking to want to carry extra weight. But when food is concerned, there’s not much choice: metal plates & cups are heavier, plastic ones get inevitably squished on the way.

Next time I do it, I’m taking the Squishy Bowl Set with me. First of all, “squishy” is a wonderful word. Second, these bowls are perfect for hiking: light and non-breakable. The recommended method of cleaning (”just turn one inside out and lick it”) is a bit disgusting for me, but there’s no problem if you prefer to use good old fashioned water.

They can be used both as cups or bowls, they can fit in tight spaces, they’re easy to clean (tongue or not)… what more can you ask?
Well, actually I’d like a matching plate too, if it’s possible.

How much under $29.99?
