Muzzleloader Accessories- Where & How do you carry yours in the Woods?

[Northcountryman]

So, I went out this am for Muzzleloader carrying all my reloading accessories in my pocket, as always.  I didnt see anything ( unfortunately), but in case I had and actually took a shot, I felt very unprepared for a follow up shot due to the location of my reload accessories. On my home, I bought kind of like a Fanny pack for the reload canister, my bullets, primers and white hots, plus the ramrod endpiece; maybe this'll work for me , but now, Im carrying an additional pack , too. Where and how do you carry all of your accessories for Muzzle while in the woods?

When using sabots and Hornady XTPs I carry the tube type speed loaders in my pocket, when hunting with patched round balls and loose powder I carry everything in a possibles bag.

2 different "kits" in water-proof cases - depending on which muzzle loader I'm carrying...

I carry a speed loader with (2)  50 gr T7 pellets and a sabot in my right pants pocket, along with (3) 209 primers. I can reload in under 15 seconds.  
 

I also carry (4) extra T7 pellets, (2) sabots, and (4) more 209 primers in a small plastic box inside my Fanny pack.  
 

I can only remember using more than (1) shot on one ML hunt, and that was probably not necessary.  A double lunged doe started to get back up, after her initial fall, and I put her down with a neck shot.  
 

If I’m using the ML during gun season, I sometimes bring along a short 12 ga pump-action slug gun for follow up shots, and have taken a few “doubles” with that after dropping the first one with the ML.

Recycled cigarette case. Holds my starter, powder, sabots, and primers. Fits in my orange vest pocket nicely. Been carrying this for years. Really quite handy.

A couple speedloaders and short starter in my jacket pocket, and my primers on a lanyard around my neck. Honestly, in a whole bunch of years  ML hunting, I dont remember once that I was in an actual need to get a fast 2nd shot, by the time the smoke cleared etc.  I will have a small plastic case in another pocket with a few more ML accessories, but have never needed to pull them out....as long as the rifle is well maintained.

This is quite old. A clutch bag would be my replacement, if this ever wears out . Just slightly longer.

A little big on size but does dbl duty
Works for carrying shells for duck/geese and muzzleloader reloads later on

Carry in a sling pack that has a bunch of Supples like rubber gloves, survey tape, extra knife, paracord and binos.

It is a Koplin possibles bag I got from one of this board's members that did not use it anymore, I had my wife sew on the TC patch that I had laying around and I put the snap enclosure button on it.

Ebay has many different types of "BP possibles bags" for sale both used and new, can probably find a Koplin on there if you are patient.

This possibles bag has both percussion as well as flintlock accouterments. On a good day, I can reload in about 20 seconds.

I shoot an inline 50cal, so I use these types of speed loaders, but with two compartments:

They fit great in these MOLLE pouches that can be attached to anything from my packs to my belt.

Those have a snap strap on the back, I also have a few with double straps. My hunting packs all have MOLLE webbing so I just weave them on, I also use a bottle bag set up with MOLLE webbing instead of a pack sometimes. If you don't have any MOLLE or straps on your hunting pack you can always sew a piece of nylon on. Just make sure you measure your tubes or w/e to be sure they fit in the pouch.

 

Anything with MOLLE webbing is great for hunting as it allows a lot of versatility in adding and removing stuff.

Last year for Spring turkey hunting this was my set up for the entire season:

 

That rig carried extra ammo, my thermos and a cup, calls, TP, spare knife, and some snacks. Lighter and easier then a backpack.
