Mitch and I have been putting together our emergency prepardness/ camping stuff for the last couple months and I had all of these loose utensils just hanging around amongst my neatly organized camping tote. So I decided that it was high time that they had a neatly organized holder as well, so I made one and I really like how it turned out.It is a little bulkier than I expected with all the spoons, knives, can opener etc. in there but it's still flat enough to fit into the camping tote so it works.
