    Honey. I like it with peanut butter (PB&H), or as a sweetener for cereals and hot drinks. I carry the bottle in a bag!

    I re- purpose a 4 oz soap bottle... maybe just lucky about leaks. Also yellow Heet for 12 oz... puncture the foil liner and it becomes a squirt- bottle, too.

    I like Korky. It is similar to your "real" trail name, has a nice ring, would not raise many questions of origin, and would be easy for Americans to pronounce.

    Dehydrating would concentrate the nitrites, salt, and other goodies from the corning process. I question adding more "cure". Keeping it in vacuum, cold, and dark will be your best protection from...

    Others probably have more practical experience than me, and maybe they will offer advice. My "hamburger gravel" is usually venison. Lean ground beef works. I don't want the fat and add no oil, so...

    I think it would be more practical to cook up another cup. I often keep coffee- candies in a pocket or backpack... they can give me a caffeine boost at work or at play.

    Grated Pamesan can mold, so I try to be careful about moisture. I seal it tight; avoid temperature swings which can cause condensation; and separate meal- mix components that need to be very dry...

    I don't know whether the FBI has located those individuals they wished to contact. I recently saw in Trail Journals that a "White Wolf" had summitted Katahdin on August 18th.
