Ear plugs hanging from the rearview mirror. Beat up hedge clippers and loppers usually on the PU. Most roadside scrounges require these. Safety cones SOP when i dont have enough room to park at a roadside score. Safety my main MO roadside. If too dangerous, i say no.
I'm spoiled. All my cutting is on my 16 acre property. I usually put several saws, bar oil, fuel mix, PPE, axe, cant hook, wedges, and a box of tools and spare chains in the cart from my lawn mower and hook it behind my tractor.
Kudos to you and EODMSgt for carrying first aid supplies. That is #1 for me - where the saw goes, the first aid kit with a tourniquet and an Israeli bandage goes. I have the "blood trauma kit" from SkinnyMedic. Otherwise at least 2 saws, bar oil, fuel, spare chains, files, scrench, brush, stump vise, hookaroon, helmet, chaps, extra set of gloves, water, my magnetic measuring stick...
An important tool that I don't see listed by most of you is a chip brush , I brush off my fuel and oil caps before removing to prevent sawdust from entering the saw. I carry all the other thing like the wrench, files , felling wedges an axe ,gas and oil ,tongs.
I have one of those cheapo wood handled paint brushes ill use for such. Usually the rag wipes away and crud before i open them
I use a shower curtain hook on the bar oil bottle for a paint brush I use for that exact thing. Can't see the brush in that pic but you can see the hook.
Good idea! I usually use a rag in the field and wish I had a compressor to blow it off. I will start using a brush. Or I could go all high tech and carry a can of cheap computer blow off stuff. No, actually I like the brush idea!
All this talk about brushing off your gas and oil caps, I was gonna say it's useless cause I, personally, will lose that after the first refill or I'll just never remember to do it. Than I thought about it and I can epoxy a chip brush to my bar oil container.... Or I'll just stay with wiping off the junk by hand. We shall see. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
I love being a "younger" guy who still uses a folding rule. I get looks from more "seasoned" crowd all time time. I'm lucky to be taught by an old timer!!! I was hesitant on Packout, but caved last year. Now I can't stop! Great idea!
