RE: what do you take into the field with you???
 

Well, I usually go in "our" flint-only season so for the gun....

2 tins (old Pellet Gun ammo tins)
1 with dry patches, 1 with Borebutter patches
1 small box (homemade, wood w/ leather joint)
spare flints, flint leather, cleaning jag, worm & puller
1 small bottle BP cleaner (large eyedropper bottle, maybe1 oz)
1 small Oil bottle, 1/2 oz
1 small "synthetic" rag
5 speed tubes with powder and bullet
Pan primer
Flint "tool ring" hanging off of my pack
(sm screwdriver head, pick, allen key, pan brush, flint hammer)
Cover for Lock

The rest of my stuff is the sameasany other time.
compass, water, "lunch", spare socks, etc.


P.S. For those who don't know this already.
Some of the "tins" that Pellet gun ammo come in are the same size as 45-50 cal patches and will hold a whole bunch of them nicely. Some also come in screw-top styles so they close nice and tight for use with pre-treated patches.

Leaving out all the non ml items.
5 speedloaders (weighed charge and bullet)
full primer capper( a small mint tin with some extras just in case)
decapping tool and nipple pick
short starter
patches
Leatherman multitool
Electrical Tape and wool sock for weather protection

In my truck I leave a small tool box that includes additional items listed above and any thing I may need to dis-assemble or repair in the field. I use to pack it but have never needed the items so I reduced my pack weight but still have them available just in case.

BTW, I actually carry 2 speedloader, capper/decapper and shortstarter in my side pockets for ease ofaccess.

the less bullets you carry the better the hunter you will be.many dads years ago, mine included, raised their kidswith only 3 bullets in their pocket. those friends of mine were deadly shots.i still use this thinkinghunting. might sound foolish but i never have more than 3 bullets hunting and usually only 2 .no doubt it makes you better shot.god bless dads that are gone or unable to hunt with us anymore.boy, good times we had seeing up to 10-12 buck a day,sadly, kids will not be ever to see what we saw.sorry i talked to much.
