Ultra-Lightweight Backpacking Spice Kit (only 1oz.)

Pick Spices, Fill and Lable Packets

The spices I chose for my kit are these:
  • Lemon Pepper (excellent for fish if happen to be hiking near a lake or river)
  • Cajun Spice Blend
  • Ground Cumin
  • Onion Powder
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Cayenne Pepper

Once you have picked your spices, fill and label your packets and you are done. My kit came out to exactly 1oz, and I would guess this would be pretty typical.

Love it. I've used other containers but this is light and easy.

Try slurpee straws, you can use the scoop end to pick up the spice and shake it to work in the spice. You can also use the McDonald's coffee stirrers to scoop in the spice for regular straws.

As was stated earlier by the author, bubble tea straws will work well, they are a very large diameter straw, :)

This is sweet! I take my chef roll with all my necessary cooking tools, but haven't been able to take spice (except in ziplocks-those things still take up a lot of space.) Thank you. Now I am inspired to invent an ultralight pepper mill...

Try using a flask funnel. They are usually small enough to fit in a straw.

Due to the small size of the straws, the process of filling them would possibly drive me crazy... Is there a easier way? I used to find straws that are about 1.2 cm thick, but they are no longer available... sigh...

You can funnel dry stuff with a cone of paper like thatoneguydavid was probably doing.

Go to McDonalds and get a few straws there if you want larger straws.
