[pct-l] at the "edge"

[Diane Soini]

I do not know a source for packets of sesame oil. But perhaps you  
could reuse a small bottle such as from 5 hour energy (you can always  
throw out the product inside) and bring a small amount this way. I'm  
always on the lookout for interesting containers to re-use. You know  
you're a real backpacker when you go to the grocery store looking for  
containers, you don't care what's inside so long as whatever it is  
won't leave a residue and not cost too much.
