Can anyone recommend a tin thats a little more weather tight than an aloid tin? The hinge area just seems like it would scream for moisure to come in. I read Mr. Ritters write up but is there a specific brand of tobacco that uses the silver tins?

This site is awesome BTW i've been reading since about 0730

If you are looking for a 'container' like a tin try a sucrets container. Looking for an actual TIN? No idea...sorry.

I suppose the question I should ask is what are some of the things y'all are using for small 1 person PSKs?

Most tins will require a seal of quality tape regardless of design. Happily this gives us a useable quantity for field repairs. BCB of the U.K. markets a tin with a gasket larger than an Altoids but still pocketable. There are some US distributors. I'll have to find them later for you. You can also 'think outside the box' and use round tins. Usually they are twist on and much more waterproof. Look at shoe polish, saddlesoap, candy tins. It's also a good idea to wipe down your kit with a soft tissue. Don't forget fingers leave body salts and moisture.

I use the third one down:
Witz Cases

It fits in a cargo pocket, and is waterproof. There are other sizes available.
