Spice camp: ultra portable spice dispencer

The purpose of this project is to build a shock resistant 4-spice dispenser suitable for camping and hiking. The dispenser must be easy and cheap to build. Because I like things that are modular, I made it modular so that you can change the size of the dispencer every time you need it. The name of the final product is "SPICE CAMP"!

Hey thank you, I'm a spice lover myself and I just can't seem to get away with not putting at least salt on my food (hey I'm young right?), and when I saw this I thought, wow I'd like to make that. But I just don't understand how you dispense out of it, does it crush the spices or do you put it in pre-ground?? These are some rather serious questions I would like to know, and with that I end this with a Lol and a thanks :P

Don't know if the author got back to you or not, but the little hole in the top of the dispenser is where the spice would come out. I would assume you filled your spices into each of the 4 compartments before screwing the top on. Then just rotate the top so the holes are over the compartment you want, and shake it out like a salt shaker. When the holes are aligned with the point, then they are over the solid little circle underneath, thus "closing" the spice shaker. That a bit more clear?
