Even backpackers have to eat, and the fact that they need to scrutinize every piece of gear they pack for its necessity, weight, and bulk doesn’t mean they’re relegated to foods that don’t need to be cooked. SunnySports carries a large selection of lightweight outdoor kitchenware that will suit any backpacker or camper’s needs. Here are just a couple sets we recommend.
