I wish I'd been able to see the size on this before buying.. there are not very good specs listed anywhere for this. I realize now that it must be meant for backpackers more than family camping. It's only about 1" in diameter (wider at the base) and only holds about a 3/4 of a teaspoon (maybe less, but it holds more than 1/2 of a teaspoon) in each compartment... which is not very useful for anything I'd want to use it for unfortunately.I'll just keep using small plastic baggies for my spices when camping.

It's sturdy, waterproof, has 6 compartments, allows you to use all 3 levels at once, and comes with 3 different types of caps for different sized spices with one extra stashed at the very bottom inside the orange section (small holes, medium holes, and completely open). I went ahead, and used the completely open one while loading it up with spices, to prevent filling the other side up as well. Worked wonders. Also comes with stickers to use as identification, but I don't know if I'll keep using the same set-up, so I held off on using those. This can be used practically anywhere, and can fit in anything. Take it to work, carry it to school, anything! A great idea, and a great product. I might just start buying these as gifts!My setup Salt/Garlic/Curry/Lemon Pepper/Sumac/Oregano
Honest reviews on GSI Outdoors Spice Missile
This spice missile contains six compartments so you can bring along a variety of spices on your backpacking or camping adventure. The nice thing about this design is that you can go with only four, or even two, if you really want to pare the weight and space down. The 'missile' breaks down into three different sections, including the cap. Each section has two compartments and screws into the bottom of the section above it. Each section also has a shaker cap that rotates, so you can use one spice compartment at a time.In addition to salt and pepper, we've loaded ours with garlic powder, paprika, curry, and even parsley flakes. Though small, the compartments will even accommodate small pills in case you want to use this to keep essential medication safe and sound.
The unit is very compact and while it will only hold so much of any one spice in each compartment, it is usually plenty enough for two to several days. Compact, inexpensive, and functional, this spice container makes every meal feel a bit more special whether you are in the back country or just car camping. This is a well made and practical item and while not essential, it certainly makes backpacking and camping more comfortable.

The GSI Spice Missile is one of those outdoor items that seem to be "love-it-or-hate-it." For my part, I really love it, and won't go hiking or camping without it. Back when I was in the service, we were always looking for ways to spice up (horrible pun, I apologize) our MRE's. I would have loved a Spice Missile back then.A few random points about the Spice Missile...
1. The Spice Missile is about 4" tall and just over 1" across. It is made up of three sections, each of which is divided in 1/2. So you could carry six different spices. Since each section & the lid use the same screw threads, you can remove sections if you want the Missile to be shorter, or just don't need to carry six different spices.
2. Personally, I tend to use a lot of spices, so I fill each section with its own spice--so I only have three types of spices, but more of them. I use Lowry's Seasoned Salt; McCormick's Hot Shot; and McCormick's Garlic and Onion Medley. Filling the Missile with these three spices gives me more than enough spices for a week long trip, while also providing a nice variety.
3. The Spice Missile is made of plastic, but feels very sturdy. I have dropped it on the tiled kitchen floor, and it did not crack or break. I think with even minimal care it will last a long time.
4. Even fully loaded with spices, the Missile is not heavy. You could stick it in any size pack, and not notice it is there.
Finally, I would add the following warning--not about the item itself but the price point...The price range for this item is broad. I've seen them sold for less than ten dollars, and more than fifteen. In the local big-box hunting store near me, they were selling for fourteen dollars. The Spice Missile is a great product, but please make sure you get the best price you can.
