Spice Mixture for a Hiking Trip [closed]

I am going on a long hiking trip soon and would like to take one container of spice mixes for outdoor cooking. I have the following spices at my disposal, all ground:

Black pepper,
Turmeric,
Red (sweet) paprika,
Cumin,
Salt.

What ratios would you suggest I mix them to create a good "general purpose" spice mixture?

Best Answer

Here are a couple of sites where they discuss "homemade spice mixes."

My suggestion is to look at these, and google a few more, to find different mixes that incorporate what you have.

You probably won't find any that match exactly, so use them, instead, to figure out the ratios you want. Use salt, which is going to be in all of them, as your base unit of measurement. See what the ratios of your other ingredients are compared to salt as a basis for figuring out your own ratios.
