DIY Travel spice "rack" thing

Postby The Modfather » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:04 am

A buddy of mine on another site I run put this together. Thought it was too good not to share w/ everyone. If you do any kind of ATV Camping, and like to have food with flavor, this is the ticket!

This is a cool trick to make your own travel spice rack for whatever.
And again, this is stuff most everybody can do with what they already have around the house.

What you'll need:
straws (clear work best)
heat source (I waited till my wife went to work and used her hair thingy)
scissors
spices, sauces, oils of your choice

Options:
solid container (beats a ziploc bag)
small funnel (just makes loading the spices easier)
silica packet (meh)

It's pretty simple.
1. Using heat seal the bottom of a straw.
2. Load your shit. I used ¼, ½, and 1 teaspoon increments. Play with, use what works best for you.
3. After loading your shit cut the straw leaving enough room to seal the top.
4. Seal the top...

Load up various straws. Make whatevers you want. If you don't have clear straws just use a Sharpie to label each stick.

*TIP*
If you use your wife's hair thingy to seal your straws, clean the evidences before she gets home. :ax me how i know:

As Emeril says...BAAM! That's it. You're finished.

...and I know what you're thinking. "Fawk. Just swipe shit from Burger King." Jigga, please.

Is Burger King's pepper packets permeable proof?
Does McDonalds have cock sauce packets?
When was the last time you saw a Webers Gourmet Burger spice packet at Wendy's?

Hey...Very cool idea.

Lori grabs extra mustard and mayo packs...when ever she's at an AM/PM or such too.

Yup same here - I had a packet of "Cholua" explode in my little lunch bag on one trip (9200') - quite messy...

There is little out there that can't be fixed up with a bunch of condiments - I'm fully convinced of this :)
