I keep at least 5 speed loaders in mine.

Also keep about 10 to 15 extra musket caps besides what are in my priming tool.

A brush just in case, patch retriever, lube.

Got to have a ball starter. I make my own. Also keep a small round piece of rail molding with a hole drilled in it that fits over my ram rod.

I am forgetting something I know. I'll dig mine out tonight and take inventory.

I carry a little everything that I normally need,

speed loads

extra primers

extra powder in a zip lock bag (in case it rains and my pack gets soaked)

a bullet starter

don't forget to have an extra primer tool, dropped mine last year and messed up a good hunt.

I carry some wet and dry cleaning patches, along with everything else.

Don't forget a bullet puller and your barrel wrenches

All I carry is plastic tubes. one each with 5 Primers, 3 powder, and 3 bullets.
If I have any problems I go to the truck, and fix it.
If I carry my .58 I'll add a starter.

I always carried 3 speed loaders, ball starter, extra primers, a couple patches with bore butter already on them (in a small ziploc bag), a couple of dry patches, a nipple pick, and a cleaning jag, patch remover, and ball remover.

That's why it's called a possibles bag! I had a small one that clipped to my belt and everything fit inside nicely.
