Mess kits are popular to use for camping, but again, they are not necessary for a camping trip. Most mess kits are designed to be used as both your cookware and your dinnerware, such as this kit. But again, this is not a necessary piece of equipment – so don’t stress yourself out about not having it. Bringing plates, silverware and cups from your kitchen at home will work just as well (but we would strongly discourage bringing along any glass!).
