Well, not quite a conventional tinder pouch but I was raking in the garage and thought for a cold days entertainment I'll post some pictures......
This years Scout camp tinder pouch!
with all sorts including cotton wool balls/pads, char cloth (and cut denim and tins for making), fire steels, flint and steels, bits of inner tube, jute string and a large pile of belly button fluff (this is the sweepings from the string factory I get), home made fat wood stick. A few bits and pieces to replace for next year.
My personal pouch, I posted before, but added a Sam Browne and made a Mk2 with turned in seams.

I'm suffering from a touch of tinder-pouch-itis at the moment.
Thought this would be a nice idea for demonstrations/salesmans sample pouch of firelighting stuff but already it's too small.
A nice size that opens up to reveal
with lots of goodies inside.
thanks for looking.

I think that's a brilliant little pouch that!
The big dry bag reminds me of all the firelighting goodies I hoard!
Thanks for sharing those monkieman!
Keep them coming people!

Very nice that oblong job. These folk made my box for me
http://www.cg-tinsmith.com/catalog2.htm#Tinderbox
a modified version of this one, I asked for mine to be pocket sized with a double sided lid so the candle holder can go inside the tin when in transit. And no finger loop to get broken.

Seriously lovely stuff on that link, I guess you can't have to many tinderboxes...I feel I may get something from them one day!
Thanks for sharing that!.
Lets we them people!

Just received this today. Thought it might be bigger (well I wanted it to be) but in the hand it's a little small for tinder. It'll come in handy for powdered chagga.
and it's exactly the same age as me
Really well made. I've got details of where I got it if anyone is interested.

I'd be interested! Looks good to me, powered chaga is a great tinder and tea too!
Keep them coming!

Same age as you? I though it would be a ducat then
Sorry pulling your leg I'm of a similar vintage. That's a really nice wee box, I do like things made out of old bawbees.
Goatboy.
Not to worry as I've got one leg longer than the other (it's been pulled a few times).
The bawbee might have been a bit wee and a lot more expensive I think. It was all my pocket money for the half crown!
Thanks

only got access to a camera again now...
comes in a handmade pouch which is a roadkill hare i bark-tanned myself (my first time, was quite trial and error but it worked). i wish i made it a drawstring close pouch instead of a belt pouch though. i used a moose tooth as a button.
the back...
my tin (with a hole so it can be used for makign charcloth also)...
contents...
i guess not all that is in there is strickly tinder or even fire related, but its the closest thing i have to a tinderbox at the moment (soon to change though due to some advice i picked up off here recently).
a small lighter
some electrical tape
a sewing needle
a small box of dental floss
a small clear plastic bag (underneath everything)
some strips of innertube
a bit of jute swine
some cotton wool
a few waterproof matches and striking pad
and a buck mini multitool
ive also got a really small tin with some charcloth and charred cotton balls in it.
