Altoid tins are often reused by people for neat little bushcraft and survival projects, mostly because they’re a convenient size for stowing smaller items, and can be combined with first aid gear, spare batteries, cleaning supplies, gloves, and much more. The long and short of it is that the humble Altoids tin is often used as a makeshift storage container, and that means today we’re going to see how many .22LR cartridges we can fit into one.

i'd want something that is water tight though.

It occurred to me a person could fill the Altoid tins then put them in a quart size ziplock freezer bag. Best of both worlds.

On the motorcycle I would keep the garage door opener in an Altoids tin. It prevented the button from being pushed in my pocket.

Altoids tin is great I like an old pill bottle that prescriptions come in. Water tight and not very big

Altoid tins are perfect size to make your own 'char cloth' too. Roll 'em tight and pack in about 20-30 rolls for burning. Wait till the tin has cooled before picking or packing it up, and don't open it till you need a 'char cloth' roll to start your fire. Then generally keep it closed until another roll is needed.
