[QUOTE="David, post: 199017, member: 426"] So many choices!!! I just weighed my supermarket ones (which are relegated to the caravan - the lighter Quest ones being the backpack kit) and they are heavy - 96 gms - 3.4 ounces each empty. Incidentally, they look like once empty they are throwaways but the plastic mill top can be carefully prised off to refill - though they are only hard plastic mill grinders and do eventually wear out .... ..... hhmm .. good sea salt isn't a problem as one can buy fine and take some in a container ... but pepper corns ... anyone know how long they stay fresh and pungent (well, alright, peppery) after grinding? If in a grip-seal would fresh ground stay fresh for a few weeks or just a few days? (I feel an experiment coming on!). I am really liking this thread - to go back to the original question .. good point about certain herbs and spices in grip-seals, almost no weight at all, and I accept that for a real cook to carry one's own good knife is a necessity. I don't cook 'real meals' but always carry salt, pepper and a small plastic bottle of olive oil. The problem with a small container of oil is that it doesn't last long and one has to top up by buying a glass bottle, refilling the plastic one, and then leaving the rest behind (which is a cool find for the next pilgrims of course) ... I think one can abandon the peeler and just use one's pocket knife. I quite like the idea of a light cutting board as it could also be used as a seat on wet grass, a letter-writing desk, a tray, a lap table ..... though - how about a Frisbee? Seriously. They are very light, can be cut on, turned upside down and used as a plate, and also one can play with them! I carry bread, cheese, and sausage with me to eat as I go, foraging in shops on the way for tomatoes and yoghurts and so on and always carry dried pasta with me - cook that in water, add some pared cheese and sausage, with oil, salt and pepper, et Voila! Nutritous meal! The only thing I miss is Tamari really and tomato puree. Perhaps I should take some. Oh dear, you have me thinking now .. perhaps I should carry some rice ... when cooked an egg and some chopped onion fried into it, a few chives ..... oh dear ... My 'tools' are a pocket knife (with corkscrew), a napkin (absolute necessity!!) and a spoon (how else does one eat yoghurt?). I'm serious about the Frisbee as a cutting board option. [/QUOTE]
