My suggestion would be that if you want to take it
camping, take along a pair of dedicated pliers for
rapid pinching of sugar, and pack the sugar in a
baggy, with maybe a few grains of rice to help absorb
excess water. Yes, it can't clump much more than it's
clumped already, but sugar DOES tend to be fairly
hygroscopic, if not down right hydroamorous ;-) You
really don't want to be dosing your morning coffee
with a sticky block of yeuchhhh.....

If all you were needing the sugar for, was to
sweeten hot beverages, why don't you try the little
swizzle sticks with the rock candy on it?

It is available in candy stores, and those highway
stores (Stop here for beef jerky - you know), and
the Stash Tea Company sells it.

These work really well, and you don't have to worry
about the sugar going bad - it's a once or twice use
type thing.
