A few weeks ago Mike Clelland gave a tip from his book "Ultralight Backpackin' Tips"
that described pre-mixing in a small black dropper bottle the mix needed for the day...

Can someone please point me in the right direction of where to buy that tiny plastic BLACK
dropper bottle, I've been looking for it everywhere.

Thanks,
Ruben

It needn't be BLACK, just OPAQUE.

Thanks for the info, guys,
GREATLY appreciated.

The really small black one Mike shows is only 3cc (as compared to 10cc or 6cc for the more common options). On his blog, Mike says he got those here:

These are also available in white and clear should you need them.

Ruben and others, I just ordered an excess of dropper bottles because I didn't want to pay $5 shipping on a $0.50 order. I have 2 extra bottles in each of the following sizes: 3cc (white), 3cc (black), 6cc (white), 10cc (white) and 15cc (white).



I can ship them out for $1.50 each shipped, which is economically if you are only looking for a small number of bottles. PM me if interested.

Email sent for 2 black and 1 white 3cc.

If you already have a bunch of bottles, just apply duck tape and you've got opaque. Dying to know just how much (or how little) liquids you got left? Easy, just unpeel the tape for a sec. Also, the duck tape can come in handy for all kinds of emergency repairs.

But if you must buy, US Plastics has really good prices -- and very reasonable shipping cost too.
