Maybe obvious but I just thought to myself “I make this meal all the time and every time I mix together the required amount of spices. Why don’t I just make a shit load and then use as much as I need each time?”
Gonna do this from now on its actually gonna save me so much psychic damage from fucking around with powder.
I do this when I go camping. The spices for each meal are in separate little containers, all appropriately measured. So much easier than carrying everything and trying to measure it by the light of a campfire.
If you aren’t removing all packing and mixing everything together before you go you are missing out. Usually write out the meal, how much water to add and all instructions on the gallon bag they are going in. Saves so much time and brain power on the trail.
