Anyone found a good box to carry 5 shells in? The ones the shells come in aren't stout enough to survive a season in my vest

How about a shell pouch that folds and snaps shut? I bought one for $10 or $15, but I rarely use it, because I have shell holders / loops in the pockets of my turkey vest.

If your vest doesn't have shell loops I'd just wrap a rubber band around them and throw em in your pocket. Or get a stock shell holster for you gun.

I just stick a few in an old 5 rd hevi-shot box and put them in a ziplock incase it rains and i stick them in one of the pouches on my vest.

Nope. Just a few 10 round types, and they are not what I'm looking for.
I just tape up the 5-shot boxes I use, and travel with them in ziplock bags...

I only carry what my gun will hold. I usually only get one, MAYBE two shots off max.

I put three in my gun on opening morning and 3 more in my vest. If I shoot I immediately replace the empty from my vest and then when I get back to the truck I replace the one in my vest.

I load 3 in my gun, and carry one extra round in the shellholder pocket of my vest. I used to carry multiple extra rounds, but after 35 years of chasing turkeys, realized not once have I ever expended more than 3 rounds on a single hunt. The extra shell is too shoot myself with if I ever goof up and miss a bird 3 times again, which, I think I have only done a couple of times in the past.
