The refillable tubes didn't work well for me.  PB was too hard when cold.  We
found some of the "unnatural" PB's (like Jiff?) came in plastic jars which
were pretty lightweight.  I like the natural stuff (unhydrogenated) better but
it tended to leak in the pack.  

Mixing PB with honey, with or without liquid margarine, actually makes it less
sticky and it's a powerful trail snack.  Still, you need something with a
screw-top to carry it in.
