All plastic jars work well, even those after tobaco.  But I don't find them
practical in a kayak, especially those larger than 1 liter (quarter of a
gallon).  I'm keeping my repair kit in a small plastic jar after honey, and
instant cacao powder (a.k.a. hot chocolate) in the similar jar after honey
(0.5 kg).  Everything else goes into drybags (with separate items, like soup
packets, different dryfoods etc, additionally in ziplocks or clear grocery
bags).
