WILDO COLLASPABLE CUPS



I have been watching the tastefully done wilderness travels of Erik Normark and kept noticing the cup he drinks his coffee from. That's because he drinks a lot of coffee in the wilderness and he does it cowboy style direct from the Trangia teapot. 

Cups and bowls are one of those items that can be purchased at a reasonable price and experience the thrill of getting new gear without breaking the bank so I decided to do some research and find the cup he uses and thanks to the web, it was not hard to find. It's readily available in small and large, so I purchased both sizes. 



The manufacturer is a Swedish company named Wildo and the formal name is the Fold-A Cup. The design has even won some awards and as the name implies, it does indeed collapse and the small one will comfortably fit in your front pocket. 


The small will also nest securely inside the large if I decide to bring both.









On my trips I use the round silicone bowls, but the Fold-A Cup is lighter and probably takes less room in the pack so I look forward to switching those out and enjoy my next wilderness cup of java in a Fold-A Cup.



The large holds 20 ounces so will easily double as an eat out of bowl.



The small is more expresso size but great for sips of water from the creek because it does easily fit inside a pocket.
