New catalog had these rare earth magnetic holders, speaking of grease guns https://www.amleo.com/magnetic-grea...FG8rEGUWuCBi4GDTV1hhIskv5IGrauT874Hmpiv5C5hDg

That grease gun tip is put out by LocknLube I believe. Great. They also have air chuck ends that work similarly for tires.
Gotcha.
It was in the blue holster but came displaced during a 20 mile ride back. I found it dangling like that upon return and was shocked that it had caught and held on for who knows how long. I had just put in a new tube of grease too

My favorite is grabbing a ground mat with the grapple of the mini, and plowing debris with it.

Paying someone else to clean shit up is a hack as well
I wish I had a mini...

The gap between the bed and tailgate is an easy place to lose things.
Easy to cover it.
I use a rectangular cardboard box, opened at the seam, tucked under the bed mat with the fold from the box flaps over the gap, and the rest stretching into the tailgate. It folds right up.
A person could go crazy and get a waxed cardboard box!
I'll run across a thin, flexible rubber/ plastic thingy for free, sometime.
Big truck mud flaps might work.

Thats an amazing detail I have not thought about in a while. I used to use a tarp, but somethong semi rigid sounds way better

Even with lots of moisture, regular cardboard lasts way longer than expected.
I keep a gardening kneeling pad in easy reach. I lay it a little over the edge of the tall gate and can rock up onto it with my shin in order to kneel on the tail gate and reach in the bed/ canopy upper shelf.

A piece of rubber roofing!
Courtesy of Moss, I keep an old tiny airplane liquor bottle with an ounce or two of Clearspring. First purpose onsite re-positioning or installation of big shot latex if breakage second purpose could do serious wound cleaning. 190 proof.
Next to the electrical tape, small wraps of old throwline, toolbag. etc

What would be rad is if saw pant manufactures made a knee pad pocket. Charhart double front have an inch or so and the bottom of the double front. A chunk of foam can be rolled and shoved up there to act as a knee pad. No chance of it ever coming out though.

Horse stall mats are bomber in truck beds where tools might slide around while driving.
A half dozen 12” pieces of fuel line hose taped together for saw files.
Blocks of wood to “jack” up a mini, bucket down to lift the front of the tracks, high as possible. Slide in wood block and poke it as far back as possible with a pole or stick. Makes oil change and track work a breeze.
Raising the bed of the chip truck with tail gate closed to off load partial loads.
Raising the bed when loosing traction in greasy grass shifts more weight on the rear tires.

Nice, I have those wee cosmetic 4oz sprayer bottles with rubbing alcohol in the house and shop. Disinfect, clean sap off phone etc. fast, and no unscrewing a cap
I’ve done this for a while but just thought to add to the thread…costs nothing but forethought:
When I leave a work station, I stow my lanyard’s working end length based on where I plan to go. If it’s stowed too short, it can be tough to hang on to the tree with one hand while trying to add length to the working end.
By thinking ahead and leaving enough payed out, you’re cleared for another happy landing.

I use a little Tylenol/Ibuprofen container for ear plugs in my pocket
Love that. Otherwise they’re easily misplaced and/or become unsanitary. I was addicted to them for a good decade.
The plugs…not the pills.
