Me too on the goopy ziploc in pocket or pack. Wear and tear in a pocket etc. tends to poke holes in ziplocs and I HATE grease in a pack. I will try to photograph the small sealed tubs I found last week, a little bigger than the old standby of 35mm film canisters. Also, I wrapped a few of these items in stick-to-self Saran type wrap and that works pretty well, though I like the double protection of the plastic container whether it is prescription bottle or whatever: keeps the fire starter dry plus avoids mess in pack or pocket.
