A subscription for head lamps would actually make sense for me.
I haven't made that jump yet so always have 1 or 2 pair of readers in my bag, 1 on me and 1 in the truck. I just know the day I don't have any readers will be the day when I have to tie size 18s or 20s onto 6x to catch sipping lunkers. Won't be pretty.
If you are 90’s kid like me and remember making hemp bracelets and lanyards, or you have an 8 year old daughter (the only people who seem to make these nowadays), you can make one of these or have her have make one for you. I recently had my front tooth fixed so need to carry nippers now. This was a very simple, very cheap solution. Some twine and bracelet connectors from Amazon. Made up a few of these I keep in various places. I tend to just loop around wader suspenders, or attach to gear hooks, etc…

Member @Paul_ sent me and some other members flies. Nice trout flies. I have had the damndest time keeping hold of those things. Yesterday I had an indicator rod out fishing and was going to tie on a black and blue bugger from Paul on another rod. As I was threading the tippet, a fish jumped to my left. It was hooked on my rig! I dropped what I had in my hands—tippet, fly, rod—to land the fish. When I went to clean up the mess, I never could find that fly! That’s how it’s been with all from that set; it’s odd.
When I used to travel for a living I donated several mini-multitools to the Orlando ATF. Just couldn't remember to leave them home.
I should probably get prescription sun glasses but have been using bifocal sunglasses for several years and love them.

I have lost a couple hats along with those cheaters that clip onto the bill of the hat while running in the boat when they blew off my head. With those clip on cheaters the hats sink before you can turn around and save them. Lost some nippers that were attached to a zinger when they slipped out of my fingers, went zinging back to my coat and popped off when they reached home. Main reason I keep nippers on a lanyard instead of zingers.
Zingers, in my experience, are not fond of saltwater.
Lanyards made of old fly line - woven or as is - are a good way to upcycle what would otherwise be trashed. Big perfection loop on one end makes it east to loop onto whatever.
Tip: If you use a Rio InTouch line, you get the added bonus of it being spring-coiled like old phone cord!

I have tried to tether anything that I use multiple times a day... tools, thermometer, net. Its one thing to be forgetful and leave a piece of gear on the bank. Its another thing to know that I'm forgetful, and forget to create a work-around.
With regard to WA fishing licenses, - at least they print them on something durable and robust... Oh wait - cancel that. I have nightmares about pulling my valid license out to show and to find that the thermal printer ink has all disappeared from heat. Maybe I'm the only one in the entire state that's had ever had this problem. Wouldn't you thing that DFW would have come up with system less completely boneheaded?
