We are going on our long awaited camping trip to Yosemite at the end of this month!! I can’t wait! My living room has turned into a storage area for all things camping and I’m in charge of the “kitchen” so I’ve been going back and forth on exactly how I was going to store spices and other food items since we will be in bear country. I don’t care what you say just because there’s a bear box to store things in they will still smell it and try to get in that box!
I decided I’d try the pill holder trick where you take one of those daily pill holders and put some spices that I will need some of but not so much. I’m really undecided on how effective this is. First, it’s not tight enough to hold in the smell of the spices so the bear issue is out the door for spices if they want to smell it they will…Secondly I put a little salt to have on hand just in case something happens to my salt shaker I’m taking and it seems to be too fine for the pill holder because if you move it the salt will come out of the side. Now obviously the pill holder isn’t made for this type of use but the people that have suggested it all over online failed to mention this little piece of information. I’m pretty certain by the time we get to Yosemite the salt will be in the bottom of the ziploc bag I put the pill holder in lol
So….while the concept is great execution is not so great. You would probably be better off buying the spice bottle that has partioned off spices in one container that they sell in most camping sections at stores or trying the tic tac container trick which I have never tried so don’t really know if it will work either.
’til next time,
