UCO Camping Mess Kit with Bowl, Plate, Collapsible Cup, and Switch Camping Spork

Very sturdy and well made. Love the colors. Great size for a cooler. Utensils are very well made and not flimsy. Would certainly recommend this product.

I absolutely love this mess kit. I ordered this one for a couple of reasons: the color, the cup, the two-piece utensils (I don’t care for the one end spoon/one end fork), and the reviews regarding the grippy ring. The only downside was that the bungee tether developed a split in it soon after, whether through defect or my own folly I’m not sure. The manufacturer (ucogear.com) has an excellent and prompt container service team that sent me a new tether. Seven months later I received a second kit through a subscription box. I was a bit jealous of it since it had built in latches to keep the two sides together. I brought them both on a recent hot springs glamping trip with my partner, and (unsurprisingly) the functionality was pretty much the same. Both products make for sturdy, lightweight bowl/plates (we used them for salads) that I’d trust with the included cutlery but wouldn’t take a steak-knife to. We had leftovers, and were able to store them with our salads in the closed kits - this is where I was envious of the latches. We opted to keep them in the car while we soaked, and this was where I realized that my version (this one I’m reviewing) does indeed have a grippy textured ring on it, as opposed to the one I gave my partner which is all the same plastic - mine was more stable on the dash than his, which tried to slide off. All in all, I’m super stoked about this mess kit, and keep it with my car-camping gear.

Perfect set for camp. I couldn't have found anything better for my daughter's day camp. The materials were high quality. The set contains every piece that you could need and it all packs up nicely within itself. I will surely buy again when my son goes to camp.

This UCO camping mess kit is a good product overall, but it was bigger than I expected. The bowl and plate feel practical and well made, and the collapsible design is convenient for camping, hiking, or keeping in a travel kit. The quality is fine, and the pieces feel durable enough for regular outdoor use. It is easy to pack, easy to clean, and useful when you want a compact eating setup. My only concern is the cup. It feels a little less sturdy than the rest of the kit, and I am not fully confident it would resist very hot drinks for long periods. For cold drinks or regular use, it should be fine, but I would be careful with very hot liquids. Still a useful camping kit, just keep in mind that it may take up more space than expected.

Bought two sets, the blue and orange for my boyfriend and I. We set off on a trip to Colorado with no time frame to come back to home-base to, so we put the money down to get reusable dishes. It saved us money and time and trash, not having to go and buy paper/plastic throwaway products. They don’t take up a lot of space, once you clean everything, you can collapse the mug, put it between the plates and tie the rubber band across, which has the spoon and fork attached. The only issue I had was that the instant coffee I had almost every morning, stained the inside of my blue mug. Other than that, everything held up well and the two plates (one acts as a bowl because it is a little deeper than the other) sealed well, although we didn’t have to seal liquids inside (just dry food). Perfect for us and lasted us through our rough outdoorsy trip of two months!! Totally recommend if you don’t want to waste money and space on throw-away products!

Worked well for trips where food are extremely expensive like Scandinavia. All in all happy with this purchasep

I used this for camping recently. I was worried about how small it was but I was able to put a whole corn cob on it without too much overhang. The knife was pretty sharp. I forgot how to put the silverware with the container how it was supposed to but ended up making up my own way to do it. I was a tad worried about how strong the cup would be but it was really sturdy. It was a bit hard to pop out and in though. I’m not sure if the string will come out of the bowl and plate completely but it didn’t really get in the way. I ended up not using the bowl but it is a good deepness for soup. I haven’t had to use the hanging string so I can’t speak for that. Its a bit thicker than I thought it would be but still very travel friendly. I only used it for camping but I imagine it would work fairly well for other types of travel. Over all I love them.

Got this for a camping trip, but I've liked it so much I've been using it at home too. Convenient to store, easy to clean, and except for the rubber band snapping the same day I got it, very durable. The cup has been great for both hot and cold beverages, and the plate and bowl make it handy to store leftovers in the fridge. I love how the utinsels lock together, and the knife is sharp enough to cut through steak. Overall I've been extremely impressed by this kit and see it lasting for a long time yet.

Great product ...

Great set for picnics or hiking.

Bought for DofE expedition. Worked really well, was great to be able to just grab it and not have to search for each piece of kit. Great quality, felt sturdy in use, wasn't worried about dropping my dinner. Knife, fork and spoon arrangement worked well and easy to use. Would recommend!

Great for hiking.

Cuidado hay 2 versiones, la que estoy valorando y la otra que no incluye la taza, por lo tanto es más económica, en general cumple con lo que promete que es servir alimento más no calentarlo a menos que sea microondas y la tasa que es normal es lo mismo, no puedes hervir en ella solo es para tomar o poner algún liquido o algo que no quieras que se mezcle en los platos, los cubiertos son de buena calidad pero no esperes mucho del cuchillo ya que no tiene mucho filo
