Baker, I confess, I too don't carry all the items on the list, but sometimes I'm the loser because of their absence. I'm glad the propolis container idea struck a chord with you. Ever since I started taking one with me I've been able to keep my hives and fingers/gloves a lot less sticky. Collecting the propolis is easy enough and collecting it into a container prevents its waste.
Slow, I don't remember where It was that I read your magnet suggestion (I thought it was in this thread but looking back I couldn't find it), but the idea appears toward the bottom of the list. Great idea! Magnets are also great for finding small metal items that get dropped in the grass, weeds, etc.
