Pribór

A pribór refers to a traditional Czech and Slovak term for a collection of small, portable utensils and tools used primarily for eating and drinking. The term originates from the Czech word *přibírat*, meaning "to add" or "to use," reflecting its role as an additional set of items for convenience. Pribór is commonly associated with outdoor activities such as picnics, camping, or travel, where a compact and versatile set of tools is essential.

A typical pribór may include items such as a folding knife, a can opener, a bottle opener, a spoon, a fork, a spork (a combination spoon and fork), a small cup or mug, a napkin, and sometimes a multi-tool or a lighter. These items are often stored in a small, durable case or pouch, making them easy to carry. The design prioritizes functionality and portability, ensuring that users have the necessary tools without excessive bulk.

Pribór is particularly popular in Central Europe, where outdoor recreation and travel are common. It is often marketed as a practical solution for those who enjoy hiking, fishing, or other activities where traditional tableware may not be readily available. The versatility of a pribór makes it suitable for both casual and more serious outdoor enthusiasts. Over time, the concept has influenced similar portable utensil sets in other regions, though the term itself remains most closely associated with Czech and Slovak cultures.
