a question of snus storage while traveling

[alopezg1]

hello good people of snuson

i am planing a long -2-3 month- period of wandering around the south island of new zealand
camping and walking, maybe some fishing. i am not a resident here so once i leave my current
house , i will have no freezer in which to store me snus. i have yet to discover a portable , solar powerred
fridgefreezer unit and here is my dillema. i have to carry of my snus and worldly possesions on my back
like a snail, i may, depending on circumstances , stopover over in the odd hostel or farm for a week or two
andcould there refrigerate my supply, but will soon be back on the road. how long can i expect an unopened cansnus to sustain its vigour for , in a rucksack, in a sealey bag in summer and autumn weather? is it a bad idea to have snus continually being refrigerated then not, frozen then not. also , does dry nasal snuff fare better than the oral moist? and if so can anyone point me in the direction of a good supplier and type please

The snus will be good enough for that amount of time. I wouldn't refrigerate at all. I think the cycling would be worse than a constant warm temp. Same thing with the nasal snuff. Dry will keep better than moist, but 2-3 months won't matter much. Keep it in a Zip-Loc bag. You can use the usual suspects for snus, and MrSnuff is the premier snuffmonger.

excellent , thanks lxsskllr

Be advised that portions will keep better than los, white will keep better than original, and dry white could probably withstand a firestorm if you should encounter one.

Enjoy your trip!

I never and I mean NEVER refrigerate my snus. It will be fine...it's steam pasteurized.

I think New Zealand is the country with more rivers per square kilomiter in the world, if finally you decide to refrigerate it, you can use a zip-loc bag attached to a rod and put the bag with the snus inside the water always you are camped. That´s how I refrigerate my drinks when I´m on the mountains and don´t want to carry with a portable fridge. Mountain rivers can be at 15ºC even in summer, is not like a fridge but it works.
