Bushwalk Australia

Hey all,
Just found jam in a toothpaste like tube in Woolworths. It is 80g and looks kinda handy for bushwalking.
Cheers

We always take our own in the reuseable tubes.
[the bottom opens right up to fill & is then pegged to seal it.]

Yaeh I found this the other day, it was on special as well so I got a couple of tubes. Yet to try it but I imagine it's the same as 'normal' Cotties Jam. Previously I have just taken a whole jar (and one of honey and another of peanut butter (although the peanut butter can go in a snap lock if I'm in a 'lightweight' frame of mind at packing time)). So this might save me a few grams Now I just need to find honey in a SMALL tube.
Still trying to work out the best bread alternative. English muffins are okay, crumpets last one night but seam to disintegrate after two nights in a pack. Bread squashes to easily and 'Mountain Bread' just aint bread

Glad you had a go at this Jam in a tube as you said to me when I informed you about it," why use a tube its in a jar ",mine was your jar of jam went off !!
Just enough in the tube for an overnighter dont you think with some to share

Dunno Corvus, it is nice to have a jar so you can mix your left over jam with your left over cream and spread that on a crumpet with some butter!

I have the larger food tubes for longer trips, but I made a smaller food tube from a sweetened condensed milk tube, cut the end off for filling and made a wire peg. Then replaced the screw cap with a snap cap from an old toothpaste tube. Have a few pre-filled with all sorts of gooey stuff!
