TreeHugger Emeritus Warren McLaren used to cover the ultralight camping beat here; he used to design the stuff and I bet even he would be impressed with Steven M.

I am not convinced about using the goggle portion as a big soupspoon, but then I have enough trouble keeping my glasses clean without eating from them.
