Squishy Bowls
Michael came across these cool Squishy Bowls on the internet today. They are made of silicone and they squish down for easy packing in your backpack.
They claim they are sturdy, and can withstand up to 400 degrees! You can either wash them out if water is available, or turn them inside out and lick them clean, and they come in 4 pretty colors, Tahoe Blue, tomato, Celery, and Slate.

They come in a Bowl & Cup set for $15.95. Just one Medium Bowl sells for $10.95, and two Travel Shots will run you $7.95. You can pick them up at REI, or Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Pretty nifty!

We are two people who love to go camping and hiking. We love the outdoors, and we are working on becoming as green as we can be.

September 18, 2007 @ 12:42 pmThose look so cool! I am definitely going to get some. I have been looking for something to give my brother for his birthday (he’s an avid outdoorsman).. so maybe this could be the perfect gift as well!

July 30, 2008 @ 7:20 pmThey are real nice. There is only one downside that I can see, and that is having any type of liquid in it. Being softsided, they collapse when picked up and the liquid inside sloshes around or spills.

August 4, 2008 @ 12:00 amI wonder how much of the essence of plastic leaks into the food they hold.
Usually, plastic leaks carcinogens like crazy. I would never eat out of something like this.
I would absolutely NEVER let a child eat out of these. Childrens metabolism is much higher than an adult and absorbs plastic carcinogens much more rapidly.

August 8, 2008 @ 6:40 amThey really aren’t that great…
My clear blue plastic bowl is really easily lickable, also works as a cup, and plate, and is shaped so that you can actually fit it in your pack along with other stuff. The shape of these cause lots of dead space, even with the squishing, which is a major problem when backpacking. Also they cant work as a plate, so you need to take that along too. They may work alright for camping, but then again so does your grandmother’s china.
Everyone with these on my last trip was envying the rest of our hard plastic bowl by the end.

August 13, 2008 @ 9:59 pmI’m not impressed. Disposable plastic bowls are lighter, more rigid, and nearly free. Toss ‘em in the fire when you’re done and your pack gets lighter. No muss no fuss. I also use only plastic utensils and insulated paper cups. (I hate washing dishes.)

August 19, 2008 @ 10:11 pmI seen something similar to this on dragons den, where the plates and bowls folded into flat pack, great tool for outback.
