Which is precisely why I advise against a Frisbee as a dinner plate and play
toy. The last thing I want to do with the vessel for my dinner is to have
everyone in the crew get his or her not so clean hands on it. We can only
hope that "a Scout is Clean" but in the back country when water is scarce
and someone has packed the hand sanitizer in the bottom of a pack, chances
are someone is going to have skipped the cleanup and in case anyone hasn't
spent a week on the trail eating dehydrated food that may be over spiced by
the aspiring 5 star chefs, it can cause anything but "regularity" in one's
daily constitutional.

Another thought on Frisbees is you rarely have time for a game and running
in a rocky terrain can be hazardous to your health. Better a small chess
board!
