Don't feel bad NCCO!  "Collectively, you have proven to be thankless".... I guess this guy treats everyone poorly.  Helping people in forums such as this one means - 'Hey, if your outfitter forgets to pack your silverware, here's what you can do' and follow Stumpy's words of wisdom by making sticks into forks, birch bark into spatula's and rocks into spoons.  Of course, always use dead and downed wood gathered away from your campsites.....  And warning people on forums means one could have posted a reminder to check your packs before you leave because the summer help who were hired to pack your equipment may have forgotten something.
