I am not sure how old this article is, but it is an old article. This article and way he does it, is how I based my loading and carrying pattern. I first tried the shooting bag and it was just so much stuff hanging off to the side that shooting from the hunting vest pockets was just so much more effective. Not only faster to reload and find everything, but made it much easier to go through the brush.I do carry a Ted Cash capper though around my neck.Though I do have a vent pick with me with the flinters, I usually just have a safety pin on me for the cap guns. I never needed it though. Some guns have a problem compressing air with wads more than others, I guess it is the one thing he missed. I don't do anything about it except let it "hiss" as the air goes out. Hunting from the shooting vest, I carry the powder flask in the my right pockets along with the over powder cards and cushions(if I am using cushions). In the left pockets I carry the shot flask and over shot cards. As I return each flask to the pocket, while I am in the pocket, I grab the cards and cushions that I need next at the same time. So you are not going to each pocket very much, just pretty fast. Once loaded, cap or prime.In the extra pockets, I carry the tools I may need, like a nipple wrench, worm, etc. but again, never needed them yet. Oh, just in case you were wondering, I do not load powder directly from the flask, there is a measure hanging around my neck that I dispence my powder into from the Hawlsey style flask.
