General questions about how people package their food on the trail - esp. people who aren't doing maildrops and are buying along the way.
Many things come in sized unrealistic to cary (spices, olive oil etc) and in inconvenient containers. How do people people take these things with them on the trail without a lot of waste. I have a selection of the little Nalgene bottles of various sizes that normally I just fill from things at home. How have people done this on the trail?
How much do people repackage stuff from original to ziplocks? What sort of stuff gets repackaged and what stays in it's orgininal? I'm assuming that things like Lipton noodle packets can stay in their own things, but a box of angel hair pasta should (or maybe shouldn't?) come out of the box.
Thoughts? Experience? I'd love to hear ya!
