    When I'm in the woods, I always lose something. No matter how hard I try, something disappears. I paint my hammer handles pink, use bright wedges, etc, and the stuff grows legs.

    Here is my list just off the top of my head:

    25" logging chain-even with a metal detector, couldn't find it.
    wedges
    hammers
    files
    bar nuts
    gloves
    caps to gas and oil cans
    screw that hold the batteries in my 3m worktunes ear pro
    t handle saw tools
    smokes
    lighters
    Hatchets (used at the splitter only and still grow legs. Its now cabled TO the splitter)


    So nowadays, I keep spares to all the above in a separate box that doesn't leave the truck. EVER.

    I once lost a game cam I put out after a few too many beers had been consumed. Found it the next year after I had completely written it off as gone forever. Not really wood related, but I still laugh about that one.

    Anyone else want to share their experiences or am I just a dimwit?

    I now have 2 slider chop saws, 3 skilsaws, 2 random orbit sanders, 2 drill presses, only one partridge in a pear tree, and other assorted stuff, so yeah.
    Still haven't figured out how I displaced that first chopsaw though.:picard:

    Over the years probably have lost more than I remember. But I'm still looking for that one log chain that came up missing a couple years ago. Once lost a cant hook but found it being used by....someone else. Happened again but that time I found out who had it but they had moved on so it remains theirs. Lost a couple gas cans once when I left them in a woods as we pulled out. Farmer claimed them and anything else that got left behind.

    Like others I've lost weight. Lost time. Dang near lost the atv in a mud hole once. Who knows what else?
