I also have a walnut bowl, 2 wooden spoons and a flint and striker, with a bag of charcloth. I made a buckskin bag to carry those items in- it hangs from my belt.Other than that, and a pair of shoes/hose and a nice Ryan Ross bonnet, the average Highland clansmen wouldn't have had, or needed, much else! I'm sorry I don't have pictures of my flint/striker/spoon/bowl setup. I'll try to get pics in the next day or two.

That's where I saw the discussion of the "housewife," and I guess you have a bag for your char cloth.
I was pondering putting the char cloth in a copper tube with corks or caps over in Brute's other thread about the flint/striker/clasp thing for the belted plaid.
Thought I had read a discussion about it somewhere around here...
