>>2868531circling back to the media bottle pantry. i spent some time using my experience, and some AI to rubberduck my assumptions, refining it. i'd previously been lazy about selecting various bottles for things. i also ruled out lots of stuff like worcestershire sauce, tamari, balsamic vinegar, liquid aminos, sesame oil, nutritional yeast, miso, paprika spice mix, the coghlan's spice rack thing, etc., but notably *not* an egg suitcase. here's the final tally with the types of containers and their sizes for a 3-7 day trip. it's ultralight inspired, but i care more about eating well than minimizing weight. it's my template so if you wanna substitute lemon juice with crystals, or furikake with salt + pepper, go for it.
>fat- olive oil in a 2 oz LDPE dropper, for supplementing meals and frying things
- ghee in a 2 oz PP jar, for crackers / bread + cheese + sausage
>umami- furikake in a 1 oz HDPE bottle, for general seasoning
- better than bouillon in a 1 oz PP jar, for drinking at a campfire (i'd previously brought cubes)
>acid + heat- lemon juice in a 1 oz LDPE dropper, for semi-raw fish packets
- tabasco sauce in a 1 oz LDPE dropper, for boiled eggs and everything else
>emulsion- smooth dijon mustard in a 1 oz LDPE dropper, for cheese
- kewpie in a 1 oz LDPE dropper, it's basically mayo + MSG
>hygiene- castille soap in a 1 oz LDPE dropper, no i don't care if i "pollute" running water with 2 drops of dr bronner's washing my penis
- baby powder in a 2 oz HDPE bottle, because i have long hair and don't like it greasy (it also has tons of other uses)
- toothpaste tabs in a 1 oz HDPE bottle, with a cotton ball inside
>hydration- electrolyte powder in a 2 oz HDPE bottle, 4-6 servings at 0.5 oz each
