[pct-l] Peanut Butter

[jeff.singewald at comcast.net]

I agree Brian.  In 2006, I carried the full jar (8oz jar I believe) and I shipped a new jar in every resupply box.  I rarely ever came into town with any PB left in the jar.  The jar weighs next to nothing and given that I am no gram weenie, I could care less about the extra weight. 



A big spoonful of creamy peanut butter was a snack I looked forward to every single day on the trail!

If you're eating a decent quantity of it (as in, you have a thru-hiker 
metabolism), then a plastic jar isn't necessarily a bad choice.  You might 
look to buy such in gas station mini-marts and the like, as my recollection 
is that you can often get a smaller plastic jar there --- yes, perhaps 
you're buying 12 oz at the supermarket price for 18 oz, but you only have to 
carry the 12 oz ... 

Or buy the 12 oz size online, for example:
