Peanut butter in squeeze packaging

Skippy - 6 oz squeeze pouch



Skippy 1.16 oz squeeze pouchette



Skippy in 9 oz squeeze tube.

I'm old enough to remember buying special, after market 'load it yourself' squeeze tubes for peanut butter - a high calorie/high fat + protien trail food.- and then the bother of scooping & packing. It worked but was messy.

Then, MRE peanut butter pouches came into being, but the stuff was pricy. Sometimes hard to find.

I made do with the little Jif tubs, but these are awkward to pack, still, they worked.

Now, we (I mean me) have several choices in Skippy/Jif brands peanut butter.

Nothing against the "Organic, Non-GMO, Gluten free, Fair Trade, Ethically harvested, Green packed" and all that hippy/crunchy stuff - it's just <$>too expensive</$> more than I'm willing to pay for the convenience. .

Now you can carry peanut butter in an easy to use pouch 1.12 oz, or 6 oz,. 9 oz . tubes.

Now, when you carry a ruck this size



having some high energy food is a must.. (BTW - that's my grand-daughter on a two-week trip into Zion Canyon I had posted about earlier)

I gave her some Jif tubs to carry to supplement the FD Chow taken.

One week into the trip, the group 'looped back' to the entrance & hit town for a pizza break. Every one of the kids came back to camp with a jar of peanut butter. FD Chow has tiny amounts to no fat.& from what my G-daughter said, the fat craving was palatable. The sleet that hit several nights didn't help.

And the freeze dry Chow was terrible - they all hated it.

These 1.1 oz pouches are ideal size to carry along this critical nutrient item, with little to pack out.

MRE - out
Jiffy pouches - IN!

Peanut butter soup anyone?
1 or 15 C of water, 1 ('individual' lack) Liptons Chicken Noodle soup (dry) + 1 oz or so of peanut butter. Add in a brick of air-dried Ramen noodles (just the noodles) for a bit more in calories.
Much better than it sounds. And by day three, better than most anything else you can quickly make. Clean up will take some soap owing the the oil in PB.

Jelly is now sold in smaller squeeze pouches as well.


most of the kiddo were humping a ruck almost half their body size... Too much IMO.

 

Why not just use a small ziplock bag and cut a corner out and squeeze.
Inexpensive and disposable when done.

 

We made do with the Peanut Butter Spoon and a small jar of Adams, but I would love to have those new pouches for my packing!

 

Good point

However
put that same sandwich bag in your ruck filled w/ PB and see what 'evolves'.

I'm willing to spend the bit extra. You get to do as you wish - for now, it's still a free country.

For now.

 

If it ain't Jif
Then it ain't peanut butter !

 

Best post in the history of SM. Wait. Did you know your real parents or should I start snooping on my end?

 

Many years back I was looking at a site that showed people giving out squeezable packets of peanut butter with honey for starving people in Africa. They showed aid workers giving out pallet loads of the stuff.

 

have you ever backpacked with plastic bags? they dont hold up in the movement and you cant reseal a plastic bag with a hole in the corner... you gotta think these things thru otherwise you will be licking peanut butter of your cloths and your shoes

 

Adopted man, We may be brothers?

 

PETER PAN!!!!!

 

Just came back from the kitchen with a fold_over of this.

I add a tablespoon of honey to the jar and stir.

Nice midnight snack with less sugar.

 

Not any more.

 

You want to get freezer bags. You squeeze what is left to the opposite corner, give it a good lick to clean it up, roll and duct tape the roll. This is useful when dividing an economy size can of peanut butter between several hikers. You also want to make sure it gets packed inside your cooking pot so it doesn't get popped if you fall on your pack.

 

Skippy and JIF are both loaded with sugar... I dont want sugar in my Peanut butter ewwwww....

 

Give me Jif
Or give me death.
Jif and honey makes an awesome sammich....Just say'n

 

Some of us are border line diabetic.
Again thanks to the DOD and Agent Orange.

 

Shouldn't be anything in peanut butter besides peanuts...
also... if you have a vacuum sealer you can put whatever you want in custom made packets. Cut narrow for tubes or angle for triangle shapes (then just snip the tip to use)
Peanut butter
Macadamia nut butter
Hazelnut butter...
Etc .....
Personally id recomended making your own pemican for a better “bang for your buck “ (or in this case, space)

 

Hey, That's not an everyday thing for me,It's I'm in the woods cutting trees and clean-up type of food.

Now Boudin itself is the perfect in the woods work food.
