Alpine Camping Salt and Pepper Shaker

I am so impressed with this shaker. I travel a lot and like to eat my meal preps as I go. I’m also always trying to reduce single use items like those small salt packets. This was the perfect solution as I can store a good amount of salt with little risk of it spilling in my travel bag. Both sides have a strong fitting gasket that only comes off when you want to remove it to fill. The top flip cap is strong and has not come open on its own. No spills so far! Once you open the cap, there are 2 holes that allow a sprinkle of salt with each tap or shake. Great design so you can control how much you put in your food. It would have been easy to have just been a big hole that pours too much, but they took the time to design this well. The entire housing feels like strong material that won’t crack easily. Seems like it will last a long time. I don’t use pepper, but this would be perfect for both salt and pepper with the 2 separate sides. I just fill both with salt. I bought 2 of these so my wife could have one. Well worth the money and we are very pleased.

Works as advertised. No complaints so far.

Shaker is all plastic and the container itself is clear so you can see the remaining level. It is small, the little lid includes a rubber all around to create the seals to prevent moisture come in or the contents to come out. I have used only about 10 times over the last year and the seals holding good, you can see some wear on them but still provide their main function. I leaved the shaker without use for about 6 months with some contents inside and I did notice some moisture formed in the salt; since the salt level was very low I think it was the moisture already inside the shaker since a very small amount of salt got clogged, so yeah pretty good seal. The only thing I would improve is the size of the two shaker holes while they are good size if your pepper is not fine you will be having issues making it go thru and you end up opening the complete lid to get pepper.

I bought this to put in my work backpack. Since it's going to be bumping around in there and be used much more than one would on a single camping trip I'm pretty concerned about it potentially opening in my laptop bag. So far this is almost too secure. One star down because it's a little difficult to open the pour spouts without just taking the entire cap off. Getting the entire cap off is enough work that it seems pretty unlikely that I will do it accidentally so I'm not concerned about that. An additional con is that the caps are identical and don't take the fact that pepper is typically ground courser than salt into account. This causes either the pepper to come out too slowly or the salt to come out too quickly. YMMV

Not much bigger than a chapstick tube (either diameter or height) but was easy to fill and super easy to slip into my lunch bag so I could add salt and pepper to my egg right before I ate it. As another reviewer noted, the shaker lid is a little hard to unclip and not pull out the whole lid but it’s easy to hold down the one side and pull up on the little tab. Plus, that small difficulty helps ease my mind that it will not accidentally open in transport and season my entire lunch bag. Overall a great buy and so nice to be able to freshly season my food now.

As someone who has chronically low sodium and craves salt, this has changed my life. I keep it in my purse and I use it literally all the time. Fantastic product!

I was tired of paper packages of salt and pepper in my RV drawer. I have a small van RV and we do relatively short camping trips. This was a perfect addition and takes up no space. Very well made with a solid cap and seal. Would be great for backpacking and hiking too!

What can you say, it's MSR, and it's built like most everything MSR builds, high-quality. Compared to others (Coghlan's, etc.), the price is VERY competitive and the product is 10x better quality. I have 6 of these now, one in the lunch box, one in my wife's, one in each of our backpacks, and one in each of our quick-trip fanny packs. Just can't beat them. FOLLOW UP: Having had these for several years now, my wife and I have come to the conclusion that we agree to disagree on this shaker. I LOVE IT, she doesn't. I use it in a backpack and lunchbox, she uses it solely in her lunch pack. You'd think that I'd be the one having complaints or troubles out of the shaker due to being more active, but for whatever reason, she has several complaints on hers (even after we swapped them, mine-for-hers). Her complaints are that the 'pull-plug' on the ends that lets the salt or pepper come out are too-easily jarred open in the lunch box, leading to spills. I said, 'hey, why not put a rubber band over it lengthwise to hold them down?', her reply of course was 'that's too much effort, they should have thought of that'. I have NEVER had mine come unplugged, even when hiking, climbing up into a treestand, etc., so I really don't know what makes hers unplug and dump - again, she took one of mine, and said it still happened. She was also infurated when someone went into her lunchbox at work (open cooler locker), and intentionally stole JUST the MSR shaker from her lunch (seems thieves like MSR, too). She instead got a screw-top Coghlan's, and hasn't had a complaint about it since. So...for her, the Coghlan's worked. For me, I've dumped more salt in my backpack than on my food with Coghlan screw-top shakers, so I'll keep my MSR. Since I wrote this review, I'll keep the 5-stars, but be aware, those end pull-plugs seem to cause some people fits (I think she's just ramming too much into her lunchbox, or something, and it is beating the plugs out - but I can't prove it).

Perfekt für unterwegs (Ausflüge, Baden...)

Petit et léger. Facile à remplir. Hermétique. Idéal pour emmener en trek.

この購入が何度目か？それほどこの商品が好き。他商品で３種や４種のスパイス入れもありますが、 正直使わないかな？キャンプ料理では塩コショウで十分と考える自分としては大満足。Wildoのフォールディングカップにスタッキング出来るこの大きさが素敵。

Ótimo produto, prático

Bon produit et rapidité de livraison. La salière est bien hermétique et ne s'ouvre pas intempestivement
