What do you carry in your patch box when hunting?

[GAHUNTER60]

Mine has a jag, a patch puller and five or six musket caps in case I have a misfire or lose one off my nipple (which happened just last weekend.)

I've never put anything in a patchbox. Anything I could possibly need goes into the shooting bag.

 

[mushka]

Nothing

 

[Juice Jaws]

Six pack of beer

 

[oldwood]

Carry some souvenir clumps of deer hair found at the sight where the critter was killed. Just for good luck next time. If doing a program in public , put some tow in the box. Someone invariably asks ," how did the folks in the old days clean the rifle w/out a supply of cloth patches? Tow and most likely some of it was stored in the box..........oldwood

Tow, and a worm for it

 

[hanshi]

Extra flint, patches and a spare ball. Too small for a Snickers bar.

This. Plus a turn screw for the rifle.

 

[Greg Blackburn]

Never used one but I'd like to carry...
1). Patch worm
2). Extra flint
3). Balls w/ patches

 

[Britsmoothy]

Nipple prick and key. Wrapped in some patching.

 

[Squarebore]

Some loose tobacco, as an offering, in case I get lucky in the hunt

 

[rickpa]

Nothing, ever since I had one pop open while hunting and lost 3 English flints, a jag, several patches, and a vent pick. I back tracked but didn't find any of them. Must have hit the release when going through brush. I'm just glad I wasn't using my Jaeger with the sliding wooden lid.

[Jay Templin]

I lined the inside of the patchbox on my Hawken with a scrap of sheepskin to prevent rattling, and I keep 2 roundballs, 2 caps, and 2 patches in there.
