[Philmont] skin irritation

Nalgene makes, along with a lot of other sizes, 1 and 2 ounce containers. You can get them from Campmor. While they are not free like the film canisters, they are not expensive and are truly waterproof. I have used them for oil, shortening, butter, etc. and they do not leak. They would work fine for A&D.
