Gear review - Camping-Spices

Camping Gewürze Globetrotter   6-fold Spice Shaker   140g   Ø6,5x7,5cm   Euro 3,45

The spice shaker with 6 different spices is a good idea, it is light, cheap and small, and it fits perfectly into my metal cup.

Unfortunately it has some big disadvantages too:
So, e.g. it is not easily refillable. With a screw driver one can carefully pry it open, but it won't fully seal again.
It was never really sealed anyway, in humid weather the spices start to clump together.
I heard from others where the spices mixed during transporting them on bumpy roads, which hasn't happened to me.
After using it often the plastic caps will eventually break off.

Conclusion: Actually a very good idea, but unfortunately the execution is lacking. I have used it for some years now and it has some downsides I haven't found anything better.

This 6-fold spice shaker is also available at Amazon.com.

Globetrotter   Wide Neck Bottle   30ml   12,5g   Ø3x6,5cm   Euro 1,50

Since I'm not satisfied with the above spice shaker, and want to take additional spices, I bought some small wide neck bottles. They are available in several sizes, suitable for foods, unbreakable, ad absolutely water proof. Unfortunately they only have the wide opening, which makes it a little hard to get the right amount of spices out of it.

Conclusion: I am happy with the wide neck bottles, ad recommend them. A little bigger ones are also available as square bottles, which safes a little space when packing them.

Similar wide neck bottles are also available at Amazon.com.
