Take my money!

I've carried a SAK for years. I now also have a cheap benchmade knockoff with pocket clip and flipper. So easy to pull out and open that I almost never use my SAK. Hopefully a pocket clip will change that.

Love this idea, thanks. (I know you bought a belt clip and I'm going to buy a pocket clip but you gave me the idea).

I second a headlamp. Almost mandatory if you're camping I think. I got some cheap ones and use them around the house / garage too. More useful than they seem at first glance.

Did you forget your ear? I thought all woodworkers kept their pencil on their ear.

I recently bought an electrician's pouch that velcros around my belt. Great for holding screws, square and pencils. Think of it as a wall cup on your belt.

I keep several full size 30' tape measures in different places like my truck, kitchen junk drawer and (of course) toolboxes. You might find that more useful than a 6'. Cheap ones are fine, I think, as long as you don't drop them.

Get a metal one and put it in the dishwasher. Or get a bottle brush.

Also, occasionally filling it with white vinegar and letting it sit overnight can help clean deposits.

ETA: In general putting plastic in the dishwasher is not advised.

True that. I'm less careful when using my compound miter saw or circular saw.
