Pick Management
I'm always loosing my finger picks. The other day I was making a new bar/tuner holder and after getting it all painted up pretty, I put covered the near side with velcro, then put 1/8" strips on the band of my picks.
This works perfect in the music room, the picks hang on real good. Of course when transporting the stuff, it all goes in the seat compartment but when I get set up at the gig, they get stuck again to the bar holder when not on my fingers. Anyone have a better idea for pick management?

My wife provided me with a nifty little leather "purse"......One side is long/deep like for a pair of glasses, cigarette pack or whatever. The shorter side is perhaps two inches deeps (just perfect for picks!)and both have strong metal twist to SNAP closing devices.
Small and convenient......yet large enough NOT TO GET LOST in the pack-seat. Try it. You'll LIKE IT! They come in various colors and materials.

A tobacco pouch, like those used by pipe smokers, works great for picks, bar, tuning wrench, etc. I have one that seals with a zipper I've been using for 20 years.

I use them little brown plastic contaners that prescriptions come in. The're good for 9 volt batterys,picks and tunning keys.
And,like others,I use a Crown Royal bag for one of my hand-helt tuners. I went to a local liquor store here in "Nashburg" and the clerk give me 6 or 7 of them free, I mean NO charge.
See, some liquor does have it's advantages.

Pro-Pik gives you a cool little round plastic case with a flip lid when you order a set of their picks direct. Kind of like the film can, except: (1) the lid stays on so you don't lose it; and (2) it's flatter and wider so it fits in your pocket better
