Hi SwampDonkey,

Your suggestion of the Keen's Mustard Cans is excellent. Even if I couldn't find that exact container locally, there is a European market that is in my town that imports lots of their products in tins as well. It would be ideal if some of these tins would have some sort of gasket seal at the rim to make them watertight. Do tobacco tins have this feature?

Icebreakers has been selling a breathfreshener in a tall tin that would make a good container for waterproof matches &/or a ferro rod.
