Hey Bob,<br><br>Up here in Canada I had a hard time finding a tobacco tin as well. So I went a different route. <br><br>My wife and I just had our second daughter 8 months ago, and so we are knee deep in diapers etc, blah blah blah. One of the major requirements is cream for diaper rashes. We have always used Penaten Cream. It comes in a round tin. I find most in this forum (but not all!) prefer the square tins, but I have not found any problem whatsoever in carrying a round tin. It is much bigger than an Altoids tin (although you can get very small "travel" Penaten tins as well), yet it still is small enough to easily carry in a jacket or cargo-pants pocket. <br><br>The only problem is that you have no corners to efficiently pack "square" items in. This is easily solved by placing all folded duct tape / tin-foil / "square things" etc, in the centre of the tin and pack respectively smaller items around that until all you have left is dryer lint which can be stuffed in all the left over crannies.<br><br>I imagine if I can find this in Canada, you should be able to easily get it down there in the states. You should be able to find it in the baby supply section of any pharmacy / grocery / department store.<br><br>Iron
