MSRAlpine Camping Salt and Pepper Shaker

I found this container to be ideal for seasoning food when I'm out on a trip, whether it be out on the campgrounds or even just at a restaurant that is lacking in good seasoning. It is very satisfying being able to whip out season salt anywhere and be able to use it on anything. Would recommend.

Best shaker I've used. I take one to work as I eat eggs every day, and have one in my hunting pack for cooking in remote areas. Love it

The media could not be loaded. 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.

I have several of these and they are great but they are usually around $10 which is high a price for this considering other travel containers being $2-4. However there is No reason for it to be $17 right now on 1/21/25 currently on MSR site they are $9.95. They are tough to open but they need to be so you don't dump the spice all over your bag. The rubber seal inside the pull off lid is good but does look like it would wear down after years of use.

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).

I was tired of paper packages of salt and pepper in my RV drawer. I have a smallvan 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!

I use a mix of Liquid IV and Propel in my water and the little sleeves have way too much mix for 8oz of water for me so I'll mix them together until I get the right ratio, but I was wasting a lot of it because the sleeves aren't resealable. This works fantastic even in a humid climate, it's truly air tight and everything's stayed dry in it and nothing's crystalized or melted at all! Great and sturdy little thing!

Small but mighty, this little guy is the perfect size for my camping gear, lids are tight I don't fear just tossing it in and letting it rattle around in my gear.
