I'm wondering where I could look to find tins for storing things in my kits? I have an old Band-aid brand tin and a large Altoids tin both of which have fire kits in them but I'd like to get some more tins. I don't eat mints or any candy do to a diet and don't want to waist the Altoids just for the tin. So does anyone know where I can find tins?

Thanks,

Heber
 
I was at a Fry's Electronics the other day and noticed they have cast aluminum boxes, although they use screws there might be a way to use them as they are very nice.
 
Thanks so much for all those links. I was able to find the size tins I was looking for. Also found some round ones that will come in handy! :thumbup:

I have a bunch of round, screw top tins I bought at work we are not using.

About the size of a soca can in diameter, about an inch high.

If you want some, let me know. I will send them gratis.

Thanks for the offer. Send me an email (address in sig) so we can work out details. I'd like to take you up on it.

Campingsurvival.com has the altoid tins sans paint. Dirt cheap and Tom (the owner) is a friend of BF.
