By The Fire Essential Dinnerware
While a camper's go-to dinnerware will vary by person, there are a few expert-recommended essentials that every outdoorsman can benefit from. There will always be a need for high-quality, tough cups when the woods are involved.
You can't hold hot foods in a bamboo-crafted bowl. You need stainless steel material to handle the heat and provide an enjoyable container for your dinners, even as the sun falls. Pack your favorite hot soup and know that your dinnerware will keep it warm, satisfying, and fresh.
Before you head out to a place with no accessible outdoor cookware, pack Self Reliance Outfitters dinnerware for a complete cooking setup that works for you.
Our selection includes:
Cups & Lids
Need convenience while braving the outdoors? Having a durable set of travel-grade cups and lids can make eating and drinking on the go that much easier. Our outdoor enthusiasts have designed weather, water, and age-resistant stainless steel camping cups and lids that you can mix and match for peak sustenance.
For beginners, we recommend keeping our 25 or 48 oz. Stainless Steel Cup & Lid Set on deck. This way, you can make your dinnerware compact. For seasoned adventurers, get individual cups and lids that go with your personalized setup.
Choose from our:
Each variety can be paired with another for a complete cooking setup. Soon enough, you'll have your own pack-ready lineup you can use, from fireside to uphill.
Bowls & Plates
Although you can make a steady plate or a quick bowl out of nearby materials, they won't always have the capacity to hold what you need. Think classic stews, chilis, and other hearty meals. Once you've sparked a flame and are ready to get cooking, a clean bowl or plate is a necessity.
We sell these tactical-level dinnerware essentials both individually and as part of curated camping dinnerware sets. Find bowls you can unpack and use to eat your favorite meals with, as well as durable plates that won't yield to the uncertainty of the outdoors.

Forks, Spoons, & Knives
Utensils can make or break a meal, especially one meant to be enjoyed outdoors. Lightweight cutlery is an essential part of every camper's pack. Tools like forks and knives can be used for both food prep and eating, which comes in handy when you want to keep things sanitary
If durability is important to you, choose utensils made from thick stainless steel with mixed functionality. Cut away at branches, scoop up a warm stew, or tear away at your latest kill, even without a full camp kitchen.
At Self Reliance Outfitters, it's important to us that we make tools you can use day and night. This way, you don't have to pack hunting-specific knives for your entire trip. Mix and match SRO cutlery for the perfect utensil lineup:
Sets
Building a dinnerware set you can rely on is not always a matter of leisure, but survival. Say you're stuck between a running river and a green field. Where do you find the supplies necessary to enjoy a ready-made meal? With our various Pathfinder dinnerware sets, you'll have exactly what you need to enjoy a hot meal no matter the hour or setting.
If the price of an individual item is stopping you from getting a full set, check out SRO's curated dinnerware and cooking sets designed for long-term trips. Whether setting up camp by water, going on a quick trip with the family, or taking a solo adventure, a single SRO set will keep you fed and happy.
