    Lastly, I have a folder on my phone with many paintball manual PDFs.
    I always have a spray bottle. It's great for lens shots. Rentals or new players never bring this stuff with them. It's helpful for them to see how useful it is.

    The list of manuals I have on my phone have helped a bunch of players from struggling with settings or oring sizes. These are very helpful tips.

      I carry a Misto pump pressurized sprayer that I fill with a water alcohol [4:1] mixture in my gear bag. It pumps up with the protective cap to pressurize the bottle and provides a very thin mist. The water alcohol mixture is great at cutting paint so you can wipe residue off easily and the alcohol helps the water evaporate away quickly. Yes, I use it on my googles and Yes, I know you are not supposed to clean polycarbonate with alcohol but it is only on there for a few seconds and is diluted with water and is not a big deal (so please do not lecture me on this). The bottle is tough, small and with the cap in place will not accidently activate in my gear bag.

      Ignore the "Olive Oil Sprayer" title in the link this is the same thing I bought from a cosmetology store years ago when going in the store with my wife while she was buying supplies. It seems this is not the current cosmetology trend for sprayer right now [rolls eyes]

        I carry a few pairs of nitrile gloves for when I have to change lenses. A fresh lens is awesome. Oil from your fingers is not.

          I carry two masks (at least) and cycle between them so I go out on the field with clean/dry mask. Here in the south east humidity is the killer of fun.
