For those who use the Skychief system how do you carry the oil-soaked wads in the field?
I am using a small plastic container with all the wads rolling around in the bottom with some extra olive oil, to say that it is messy to load is a given. But the plastic container is a pain as well.
Any suggestions on a better way to carry them? Maybe even something a little HC?

I soaked a few the other night and it didn't seem to take long before they weren't obviously absorbing more oil. I am now wondering if I got impatient and pulled them too soon.
I would soak them again, but, as part of a test to aid in transporting them, I quickly gave them a thin coat of melted beeswax that I had already melted for another project. Hoping to seal in the oil, without them being so sloppy wet that I need a special container for them.
Did the beeswax coating work?
I think I need to carry a small towel as well to wipe my hands off!
