I usually put stuff like that in a more secure pocket. My cargo pants have velcro or zippered pockets and my jacket has zippered outside pockets and a velcroed, inside cell-phone sized pocket. Shirt pockets, even buttoned ones, tend to dump things out when you bend over.
Of course, you have to remember to put things into a pocket in the first place. Once I lost a pair of glasses I put temporarily on the car roof when my wife drove off to the store. The older I get the less safe it is for me to set anything down "temporarily" where it doesn't belong.

My next-to-last cell phone had that kind of demise... I had it in a velcro-closed pouch clipped to the loader mount. Apparently, it wasn't branch proof and disappeared while I was bush hogging a field. I found it, but after the tractor ran over it the best was gone.

Yeah--been there, done that. Last time was when I was mucking out horse stalls. IPOD is somewhere in the manure pile.

Since that last time, I have switched to the cheapo SanDisk players--usually about $15-$30 for 4 gig. They don't have the fancy screen, but they work well with Window's media player and at $15 each, if one gets lost, no major loss.

Well today I was mixing corn silage up for the cattle and I decided I would listen to some music so I put in my earphones and turned on my iPod and after 15 minutes I was tired of listening to music and turned it off and stuck it in my pocket


I finished mixing silage and decided it was time to feed it so stopped the tractor and checked my pocket for my knife and thought I would get my iPod just to make sure it was still there and no iPod

Needless to say : It fell out of my pocket and got ranover:(

There goes $150

Maybe I can help you feel a little better.....

2 months ago I put my truck off the road about a mile from my house. There was an inch or 2 of snow on the road and it was coming down hard. I got sideways in the middle of a turn going 35 or 40mph, TOO FAST.!! I went over one of those old culverts framed up with granite blocks. So, I called my GF who was home and she came and got me back to the house where I called a wrecker. We drove back to the "scene" and while turning around my GF put her 4x4 Explorer into the ditch.!! I had grabbed my camera to take pictures of my truck and while hooking a chain onto her vehicle....my camera came out of my pocket and spent the winter in that #$%^@*&0!@#%$ ditch.!!:ashamed::(:confused2:

THAT was a bad frikkin' day let me tell you.!!

Now I went through my first winter with my 3pt. snowblower WITHOUT a camera.

The camera I want is $250 and the pennies aren't adding up very fast.:cool:

This ain't funny, but my dog chewed my phone to death after I lost it playing with him. I was going to call him and tell him not to hurt it, but he did it anyway.

$50 to replace it.
