Hi;
I have been carrying a small amount of cooking oil on my multi-day treks. I used a 2 oz plastic bottle with a screw cap, and put that into a zip-lock baggie. I didn't use up all the oil I took, and when I got home I found that the oil had leaked from the bottle into the baggie, then through the securely zipped baggie and into my bear canister. I need a small (2oz or smaller) bottle with an O-ring to keep the oil inside, but have had no luck in finding one that small.
I could use a similar bottle for the small amount of bug spray I carry (not in the bear canister with my food). I had the same thing happen there, but lucky for me the stuff didn't leak out into my new backpack, but instead leaked into a smaller and older day pack after I had finished my trek.
In the future, I will probably just buy a smaller bottle of DEET, so that solves that problem, but I cannot buy a small enough bottle of cooking oil, and what is available is mostly sold in glass bottles of 7oz or more.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Arden
