I'm not really a fan of Clif Shots (and the like), but THESE shots look grrrrreat! So light. So easy to pack. So much fun.
I found them at Total Wine. They supposedly come in several flavours, but they only had the tequila ones (possibly because we're only 60 miles from Mexico?).
I thought about putting this in "Food, Hydration and Nutrition", but it's technically not any of those three…so it must be "gear"! ☺
Edited to add sourcing information.
hydration, dehydration. very closely related.
i want some. you found these where?
I want to know how much the package weighs: )
Nice. Those packets look like one-time use.
I snag these little "5-hour energy" bottles which is a very solid, liquid-tight bottle holding 2 ounces each. I run them through the dishwasher to wash the cooties off of them and then fill them with the tequila, vodka, or Everclear that my mixology for the trip requires.
They are probably a little heavier per booze carried than those "pocket shots" , but you can reseal a portion of their contents and they are reusable.
If you actually stay sober while backpacking, you can also use them for olive oil, curry paste, soy sauce, etc.
Edited to clarify: I don't buy them, I just pick them up wherever hipsters hang out. Hence the need to wash the cooties off. Taking the colorful plastic wrap off leaves a plain, white, 2-ounce, dishwasher-safe, plastic bottle.
Hmm. Hmm. Said Hikin’ Jim. I’ve got some of those 5 hour energy bottles laying about somewhere…
Backcountry sometimes tosses one in. Now I know what to do with it.
3oz baby food squeeze packets….If you can manage to really clean them out properly, and have a small funnel. These things are weightless and reusable. And you can have Spongebob for rum, Ninja Turtles for Jager, or Dora for tequila.
*keep out of reach of children* hehe
And then there's packaging of the original baby food – breast milk. Those bags are very light weight, are freezer-proof, hold about 6 ounces, and have solid zip-lock or clip-on ends that seal them up without any air. They have to be dependable because their customers would be really pissed after all the effort that goes into collection, storage, and distribution. ("Really, I'm driving 2,400 pounds of Toyota 26 miles round trip to transport 5 ounces of fluid from one town to another?").
Back in the 1970's I used these for PB&J:
These would be lighter and cheaper:
