Cool! Who made the horn and knife?
Unsure about the horn, I bought it online but have made a few modifications. I forged the knife myself. I made the pouch and shot bag/flask as well.

Do you accessorize with different bags on different days? JK LOL. emoji is not working, picture a laughing face with tears!

I use different ones for different guns,
This one looks like an old fishing creel. I use it fo my 10g doubble, lots of room for wads, a capper, a powder flask, a knife and several pre-measured shot loads.

This one is an old hippi purse from the 60s, belonged to an old friend's ex-wife. Use this with my 12g, hojds all the above-mentioned stuff and the horn you see. 
those smooth bores sure take a lot of stuff to keep thrm shooting.

Sorry, guys- when I posted yesterday I had somehow missed that a “bag dump “ was about dumping out your bag. 🙄
My rifle balls and tools live in small bags so I can swap calibers easily. Likewise, I take a primer or capper depending on which gun I’m carrying.
In the smoothbore pouch, I carry a couple of flints, tow, patches, and roundballs. Birdshot and buckshot are carried in their own bags in my pocket. Both bags and the horn strap are my work. I scrimshawed the flat horn; my brother did the rifle horn as a thank-you for teaching him how to do it. The map is the Siege of Yorktown.

This is my bag for round ball. I have another set up for shot. Everything except the straps are made by me. The bag holds patches, ball, short starter, and measure. The belt bag hold a combo tool, cows knee, extra flints, puller, etc. The belt also hold my fire kit.

I have two bags. One a small day bag, and one a bit larger for extended hunting day. I carry only the eseential necessary to shoot, clean and maintain the rifle in the field. Any other items I need go into a day pack.

Show a photo of it. !
 
Glad i wasn't the only one who didn't dump the first photo.
I only have one bag so use caps or primer horn as the gun requires. The plan is to use this cloth prototype as practice for a leather bag. a ball bag is on list of to get done thus the ziploc, tupperware with lube was borrowed from mom about 49 years ago, hard to replace that.
