What's in your traditional muzzleloader patch box?

[GAHUNTER60]

While hunting, that is.

Mine has a cleaning jag, a patch puller, and three four musket caps wrapped in a dry patch, incase there is a failure to fire, or one falls off (as happened to me just this last weekend!)

I just about always hunt with Ol' Sparky, my .50 cal. flintlock. I always shoot from my bag, so I don't carry anything in the patchbox. I also don't overload my bag. It has some patch material, a few bullets in a bag, a couple of extra flints, and a small folding knife, and that's about it.

Couple of lubed patches and dry patches, one spare flint and a ball puller. Never really needed any of it since I carry the same stuff in my bag, but it is kind of a belt and suspenders thing.

A few patches, a few caps, a nipple, and a bullet puller...

I've never cared for patchboxes and have never put one on a rifle I built. I shoot from the bag and all I need are carried in the bag.

Patch boxes traditional was just a place to carry grease for lube. I don't put them on my guns either.

 

[NCHillbilly]

I usually don't carry much of anything in mine. I only have one rifle with a patch box. I carry my stuff in my shooting bag.

 

[trad bow]

Not a fan of patch boxes. Just never cared for how they look and anything that is made to move will eventually break. If I don’t use a patch box then no need having it.

The southern mountain poor boys just had a grease hole with no cover

A long time ago I knew somebody who carried a bud in his patchbox...for use in the celebration of a successful hunt...
