Small round tins?

[Infi-del]

Need some small round tins for trail storage below my canteens. I have the Maxpedition 12X5 bottle holders and I'm eventually getting the Kleen Kanteen 64 ounce bottle for them when they get them back in stock. So I'll have about 2 to 3 inches of room left in the pouch. Figured I'd toss a small tin in the bottom. So what I'm looking for needs to be about 5" in diameter or under. And from 2 to 3 inches in height. Any suggestions where a gent might find something like that?

In the kitchenware section of dept. stores ( Wallymart?) there are small aluminum or stainless spice containers in the sizes you seek. Not totally Waterproof,but useful for small items.

Hope this helps.

At the end of this thread is a pic of some tins I found at the local Odd/Big Lots stores.

They held a cheese spread product, and fit perfectly in the lid.

I've got mine chocked full with a Sparkie firestarter, a dozen or so Tinder Quiks, roll of duct tape, container full of cedar pieces, a wad of cotton, and a small tube of petroleum jelly.

YMMV

Be sure and read their "FAQ" section to see how to get "samples".
I got two free metal bottles to use for my alcohol stove.

Cool, which bottles and how well do the lids seal?

Gave some away about 6 or 8 months ago to someone on the forum.

I will measure them up when I head back and post the size tonight.

If you want them, I can ship them to you gratis.

OK, they are 2 1/2" Dia and Abt 3/4" tall

If you want some, just let me know. I have about a dozen.

How about adding specialtybottle site to "favorites"???

Thread is about "round" tins. Not altoid square ones.
Apples/oranges??

Got 4 oz and 8 oz models with white lids. Just like all bottles, need to keep caps tight. Hey, they were FREE!
