saturation method for PPE

[treebing]

I learned this technique from a friend who plays a guitar and was always losing his picks. He went to the store and bought a couple hundred picks and just spread them through the house. He always could find one when he needed one.

I have adopted the same method for earplugs, glasses, and gloves. The only other alternative for me would be to just keep track of one. Too many jobs where I have spent way to long looking for my glasses or earplugs.

I like that a lot, good idea.

I keep a chapstick in the car, at home, in the office, in my backpack, and in my girlfriends car. I rarely need it, but when you need it, you need it!

But Treebing,

Wouldn't buying that amount of PPE just be adding to our country's problem with consuming too many goods?

Just wait until you need glasses. Lost ten pairs the last year, luckily they just cost 50 NOK each

Terribly consumeristic. You could track me down by following little orange styrofoam earplugs. I have found that the ones they sell at CVS are the best. they come in jars of 50 pairs. I have a jar in each truck and a jar on the chipper. My arborwear pockets are filled with them too.

For the glasses, I found a deal of 12 for 25$ at a discount tool place. Glasses dont seem to last long anyway even if you dont lose them. they get all scratched up. The gloves also run at about 2$ a pair. The saturation method seems to be least effective for the gloves. For some reason I frequently find my self saturated in only left handed gloves or right handed gloves, rarely both.

I do the same thing and I know what you mean by
"when you need it, you need it!"

I was referring to reading glasses, when turning fifty most people get slightly shortsighted and lack short memory.

For Christmas one year I asked all our friends and family to get my husband hammers. I think it might be time to do that again

That's why I use ear defenders mounted on my helmet. Now that I'm not going to misplace!

As for gloves, don't get me started......
