A utensil kit used to consume food during camping or hiking trips.Context
Utensil kits like this were common to the boy scouts. It allowed the boys to have access to silverware while camping or hiking and gave them a light-weight and easy to store pack that could be carried with little additional effort. This was important given the space already required for their clothing and other necessary supplies. Because everything locks together, it was difficult to lose their utensils in their bags or on accident.Lexicon
