Simply take a trip to all of your local fast food restaurants before your next trip. Nearly all of them have individually packaged condiments that are perfect for backpacking. They are small, lightweight, and they last a lot longer without refrigeration! And best of all, they are free! What more could you ask for? Here are some of our favorites:

And one of our readers, Tori-Love Merryman, told us Chick-Fil-A carries Tabasco sauce in the little pouches also. If you like to really spice things up, this is a great way to do it! Thanks Tori-Love!

And if you want to take along some really interesting condiments be sure to check out The Great American Spice Company.

They offer a ton of hard-to-find items like burgandy wine powder, cheddar cheese powder, gravy mixes, soup mixes, horseradish powder, soy sauce powder, maple powder, etc. They also offer other things (sauces, rubs, marinades, etc.) that are not as well suited for backpacking, but are still great for car camping and RVing.

So don't just eat the same old boring stuff on your next adventure. Be sure to do some cooking with condiments to make your camping meals even better, because remember... Condiments are King!
