How do you carry peanut butter?
What kind of container do you put it in? Im trying to expand past the lipton/ramen mealsa nd im a big fan of PB. PB sammiches are the best.
They make single-serve squeeze tubes, little mini-tubs of it (like a single-serve coffee-creamer tub, only a little larger) that can be found in breakfast buffets, and the smallest jar I've seen is 12 oz. If you're brave you can try putting it in a ziploc and cutting a corner off and slurping it down!But I can definetely seen some messy consequences of a weak bag......
To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.
I'm no feather weight backpacker, I take the plastic jar, usually filled half and half with pb and strawberry preserves.

If you don't want to carry a jar check http://www.minimus.biz/default.aspx

If I can't find the tubes of pnut butter I generally get the smallest plastic container and carry it until it's gone. Lot of times I just bought the pre-made pnut butter/cheeze crackers.

The more I learn ...the more I realize I don't know.
Any plastic container (eg Tupperware, Rubbermaid) with a snap lid. Any decent supermarket has 'em.
In a ziplock??
That's a recipe for disaster.
And filling those squeeze tubes is a profound pain in the ass.
Most people carry their peanut butter as God intended, i.e. in its original jar.
If you're worried about the weight, then stick to the small-sized jars.
The little tubs that someone mentioned are OK, but they tend to get squashed and explode all over the place. If you're gonna carry things like that, double ziplock them.

Never knew peanut butter was subject to divine intervention Jack.

they also have pb&j all in the same jar these days. its great! and that way you don't have to carry jelly, its all mixed in.
i agree, carry the jar, or a smaller tupperware container. its worth the weight!
All 18 oz right in the plastic jar. Same with the honey. A long as it's not in a glass jars or paper packaging, I don't repackage much of anything. It generally just leads to more trouble than it's worth.

I double ziploc mine with a corner cut off the inner bag.
Of course you could carry it like this... http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/peanut_butter_kid.htm
I used to think the jars with the jelly mixed in were REALLY disgusting (something about those purple stripes) but on a hiking trip, it actually make a lots of sense.
But at the end of the day, you can't beat Skippy Honey Nut Creamy.
I'm glad that PB container is in the pic and the kid's hand wasn't in his diaper - 'cause that stuff looks pretty much the same after being processed.

Consider also taking along Nutella for a change from peanut butter. Hazelnut-chocolate spread. A little thicker than pb, so not so good in very cold weather, but spread on a bagel - yum!

After last weeks PB salmonella scare, not sure I want to eat any!
Even scarier! I just went thru the cabinet looking for a container for some leftovers... and there was an old PB plastic jar... OH look, theres some numbers on the lid... whats that? 2111? OH MY GAWD! I have one of the recalled jars!
Well, I guess since I have already eaten the whole thing (and it was the gi-normous feed a family of 8 for a week, size) I guess it wasnt contaminated... Oh well, so much for my get rich quick, class action law suit scheme...

That was my first thought!
At least it wasn't chunky.
That lot # must've been the biggest friggin' lot ever made, I know at least 10 people that claim they had the"poison" lot in their houses. And I don't talk to that many people. ( but evidently we like peanut butter since we (me & friends/co-workers) talk so much about it!)
