How/where do you store spare flints?

[Grosvenor]

I'm trying to thinking of way of storing spare flints in my shooting bag. I don't want them loose in the bag and I don't want to just put them in a plastic bag/container.

Altoids tin. Burn off the paint.

Flint wallet, 3 or 4 flints…a turn screw, lock vice and knapping tool.

 

[Yewbender]

Here you go. They are easy to make and work well.

 

[oldwood]

I just throw spare flint in the bottom of my shot pouch along w/the screw driver.

Flint wallet.

 

[Moleman]

Flint wallet for me. It holds my flints, turn screw and in the field knapping tool.

 

[Art Caputo]

I just wrap about 3 or 4( pre-fitted) to my lock) in n a small piece of leather, and keep them in my rifles patch box.

 

[Mgbruch]

Altoids can. In it, I keep tow, for cleaning; a half dozen flints; and a piece of leather. A flint wallet adds too much bulk for me.

Flint wallet, there's some for sale here in the shooting accessories classifieds

Got them in a little leather bag I made with some some spare tow. Cushions it all.

Flint wallet, plus one in the patchbox

Not very traditional but I like the plastic boxes in which the round balls are sold.

Like many other people:

 

[Grenadier1758]

My spare flints are kept in a flint wallet along with some spare leather wraps and one of Larry Callahan's flinter's tools.

Before all the cameras went digital, we used 35 mm film; the little plastic canisters that the film came in were nifty storage containers for many small items.

Non-traditional, sure - but as I had been taught in the late '50's, early '60's to store my flints wet, I would keep 4-6 flints, in water, in a film canister in my possibles bag.

Geeze - I am getting old! Better, I guess, than NOT getting old...

 

[Cruzatte]

I just keep a spare in my rifle's patchbox. When shooting my trade gun, I keep an extra flint in the same little roll-up pouch which contains my gun worm, vent pick, and turn screw.

I LOVE this flint wallet pattern, folds up into 3rds, hold 6 plus the flint leathers. A pattern for it is included.
