Kupilka: stylish camping dining.

In an endeavor to reduce my creation of rubbish and my use of plastic, I decided to buy a cup and plate which I could use again and again when camping. Now I am sure any person of my generation remembers the metal cups which our parents used to hand us when on caravan or camping trips. Not only did they look awful, but they were also heavy and either scalding hot or metallic freezing to the touch. The alternative would be tacky plastic dishware, which although being unable to biodegrade, could not maintain a look of quality and durability after holding hot food and drinks or being carried to various locations for festivals and outdoor trips.

Then I discovered a brand of environmentally-conscious camping and survival dishware from Finland. The name is Kupilka, and the difference is that this dishware is made from biomaterial which is able to withstand both cold and hot temperatures, even in the dishwasher. The products range from cups, plates and cutlery to survival gear such as knives and firelighters, and the products look good. If you are aiming for a stylish and personalised approach to environmentally-friendly camping gear, then look no further: you have some funky colours to choose from, and you can even have your name engraved on the product. Take a look at mine which I chose for myself and my partner. I have not been disappointed by my purchases after over a year of using them.
