2nd Try at Muzzleloader Hunting give Me Yourtop 3 things I might have forgotten

Carry a small pic to run through your nipple to clear it, I learned that the hard way.

  I use a small drill bit that is the same size as the inside diameter of your flash hole.  Twist it with your fingers while you run it through and it cleans out any debris and also any soot or crud that has built up on the walls.

Amazon, or local welder supplies, sells a welder tip pick set.  Multiple sizes, works good.  https://www.amazon.com/Fontic-Spiral-Knurling-Carburetor-Cleaner/dp/B01N4EJ1V1/ref=sr_1_11_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1537629791&sr=8-11-spons&keywords=welder+tip+cleaning+tool&psc=1

The main thing we’ve forgotten was a sling, which is a real problem when you bike into your area. Swapping between rifles and muzzleloaders was a bad plan to try and remember. Quarter inch rope is a substitute....not a good one

I very rarely ever stick anything into the nipple or breech flash hole to clear it. They take enough abuse as it is but there are times you may need to clear...

Normally when the need occurs I use a Nipple Pick to clear the obstruction from the flash hole...  This the one that prefer to use...

Make sure you bring the right size caps for your rifle 

Went out for a final shoot this weekend....three wasted hours later I'm back home after having driven out, set everything up, loaded a round and reached in to pull out my #10 caps I accidentally packed.

Good call 
With Me being the only one in the group shooting Muzzle loader during Rifle season that would be a real problem.
