Is there any place that I can get gelcaps to pack drugs that are orally taken?
Or does anyone have a easy way to take powdered drugs? Right now I just mix it in with water and drink it down, but it's really bitter, and I'd like a way to take it without water so that it's more portable.

Most health food stores carry them, or can order them for you. I have also seen them at Whole Foods in Houston TX. They are now often carried at Drug Stores by the pharmacist. And REMEMBER ... they need to be refrigerated when not in use. They can MELT since they are made of a gel.
You want to buy Clear Gelatin Capsules, these are the best for ANY things you want to put in them. Size 00 or 000 are easier to pack and use. They are smaller, but not too small to pack. And ... they are not hard to swallow.

At a nutritional outlet or health food store, vitamin shop...they come in a few sizes. How to get the powder into the capsule is another problem. I never asked about that, but I used a funnel that I made out of stiff paper.

You can get the gelcaps at the pharmacy. Just ask for them and they will sell them to you. They may even have them on the store shelves but if not just ask for them.

Gel caps are available in most health food stores. they have different sizes. I use them when I need to take something that tastes terrible.

That's a curious question. Anyway, I found this link on-line. Maybe it's what you need.
