Packaging for powdered drinks.

You can order mini zippys in any size you want pretty much. i get a sales magazine I think called just "Plastics" that has about anything plastic you could ever want. There is also mini heat seal bags that could be used like a vacuum seal bag but probably cheaper and made in smaller sizes.

Warehouse in Auburn.  Good pricing/next day delivery.  I suggest 4mil bags.  Thicker bags sound good, but they have a much higher failure rate than the 4mil does.  6 and 8mil seams just don't hold up for some reason.  4 mil is also great for pre-tied salmon/steelhead leaders.

If you want the little bottles they carry those too.  Much cheaper than Nalgene. http://www.uline.com/BL_8175/Natural-Cylinder-Bottles?keywords=Bottles

They do carry Boston bottles as well, though that's much larger than you need.  Nice thing about Boston bottles is you can go in with a bunch of friends and get a short case.  Fill with cornstarch, talc powder, carpenters chalk or finger print powder to be used as wind detectors.  Just don't get your wind detector mistaken for your Power Aide drink mix.   Boston bottles are what I use to fill my Pixi Straws.


Ikea sells the extra wide Smoothy Straws for about $0.08 each. Those are hard to beat for powdered drink containers.  And two dozen in a pack takes up much less room than a couple 4oz bottles.  They are easy to fill and all you need is a torch and a pair of pliers to seal them.  Get two colors and add instant coffee or espresso for on-the-go caffeine pick me up in the field.  I like to mix instant espresso and Swiss Miss cocoa for what we call Mountain Mochas.  Fire up the Jet Boil after a hard morning hunt and have a little sweet java injection! 

The straw method is a great idea.

I have bought large drinking straws and bent the ends over and taped them and filled them with drink mix and it worked decent. Now I just use small zip loc bags from a craft store and put one serving in each bag.

Carrying around unmarked plastic baggies full of powder might get you some unwanted attention...

All you gotta do is is mix the LEOS a drink and they'll leave you alone.

Vacuum sealing.  McDonald's straws or the even larger ones available at Cash and Carry or similar.  Smaller nalgene bottles are nice and don't involve trash/waste to pack around.
