[pct-l] OP Bags

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

You know what Op sacks really are good for? If you have stinky food  
that might infuse other food with unwanted flavors, they work great.  
I have carried garlic and curry-heavy spice pastes in them. When the  
Op sack was opened, the smell was overwhelming. When closed, nothing.  
I could cram my sweet things in with my spice pastes in my bear can  
with no garlic/curry contamination.
