==Camping== A civilian mess kit, which may serve from one person to a family of eight, is a collection of common kitchen wares designed to be lightweight and easy to store. Such kits are typically constructed from [[aluminium]], though enameled steel is also common, and some items (such as cutlery or plates) may be made of more expensive materials, such as titanium, to further save weight, or of plastic. A civilian mess kit usually contains at least a skillet, a kettle (which may also serve as a coffee pot), a plate, a cup (typically a [[Sierra cup]]), and cutlery. Utensils usually consist of forks, knives, and spoons, as at home, but may be replaced by specialty items like [[spork]]s or folding [[chopsticks]]. Kits usually come with either folding handles or a detachable handle which can be used with other cookware. Items are stored compactly by nesting them in other components; the whole kit may be placed in a [[stuff sack]].
