What do you carry your tinder in?

[addo]

I use a 11 inch by 9 issue water proof bag that is OG poly cotton (?) on the out side and either clear pastic or, on the older ones, rubberised on the inside. Theres a two foot cotton tape at the open end for tying it closed. They are 50p or so in the army stores.

I've no idea what they are for but they keep the tinder good and dry.

These are great. Big enough to store the natural tinders that you have dried in your pockets.

I store fine ember making tinder like true tinder fungus, char cloth and rosebay willow herb in a oil skin baccy pouch and the birch bark, grasses and bracken in the larger poly cotton bag.

By the way, i'm a fan of flint and steel, but matches are always to hand!

I think you are reffering to PLCE bergan side pouch liners - nylon with a pu coated rear, i have a couple myself also a great bag to store a Polish Lavvu tent in fits great.

Could be, ones dated 1984 and the liner is a seperate loose clear plastic bag. I'll try and find the rubberised one to see if it has a NSN code. Very useful anyoad, almost as good as the old nylon tent peg bags which are great for storing small to medium sized sheath knives, I wish I could find some more of those.

In a small tin, or a bag sized flame thrower.

a handy ingredient in the tin is those small pouch/packets of dessicant that often come with electrical items..about a 1" size bag with small balls in that absorb moistore..i always keep em

Smokers "oil skin" baccy pouch from a group buy on here from bumpy vir Shewie.

Like Graham S, I use the U.S. Army decontamination kit, container. If you are not familiar with these they are made out of some really tough plastic and they have a waterproof seal on the lid. They will not leak. They also have a small strap that allows it to hook to your other gear.

They are just the right size for a tinder kit. I have two of these, one with tinder and one with a first aide kit that I made up. One sits on one of my backpack shoulder straps, and the remaining one sits on the other. easy to get at.

Just remember they've got a finite life unless recharged periodically in a warm (not hot) oven an hour or so at 50 deg or so should sort them out.
