I'm curious to learn what would be some of the helpful stuff you carry with you or have in your gearbag, or any tricks that you've come up with throughout the years.
I'll start:
I carry a barrel maid and a microfibre cloth in a pod, which is alway located to my left side on my harness. That way, both the cloth and the barrel swab stay clean and put (they won't fall out of my pockets, etc.). Sometimes I have to swab my barrel when it gets a ton of splash (and in the extremely rare case of a barrel break), or use the microfibre towel to wipe the splash off my lens ('splash', not 'hits'... let's not start rumours here);

Speaking of harnesses, after losing the contents of two DYE pods the very first time using my HK Zero-G harness, I decided to add a strip of velcro on the lids. I used the Velcro-brand stuff, not the cheaper imitation. I put some heavy-duty tape on the top of the strips, to cover the adhesive back. Never had a pod flip open and drop paint since then;

In my gearbag, I've got:
A pod with yet another microfibre cloth. I use that one to polish an already clean lens. The pod can also act as a spare pod if need be;

A spray bottle with water and a bit of dish soap to clean my lens and my gear. I keep a small towel with it to wipe my gear clean;

A kit with: a spare barrel plug, a set of ball-end hex keys, a paintball sizer, a spare 9v battery and 3 x AAs (for my Rotor).

Lastly, I have a folder on my phone with many paintball manual PDFs.
