Tip: Head to your local hardware store and find the 'babyproofing' shelf. You can find glow-in-the-dark (GITD) plastic fobs, intended for pull-cords of overhead lights and ceiling fans. But the big find is the cheap rolls of GITD tape. A single wrap around a toolt makes it highly visible. This stuff has improved from the weak and short time glow they had in the 70s.

Even when it isn't 'charged' it still helps. To find something with GITD tape on it shine a light around where you think it might be. Then turn off the light. Just the exposure for the beam of a flashlight is enough for the tape to glow for minutes. On a dark night even a weak glow stands out.

A suggestion worth its weight in gold!

No seriously, that's a great suggestion. As it stands, I spray paint the head of my rock hammer with fluorescent orange paint, the Laplander and recreational GPS have fluorescent pink "masonary twine" lanyards, I use fluorescent pink flagging to mark spots I want to find again, and I carry and use a VS-17 panel for helicopter operations. But I'm so going for the GITD tape. Never even thought of that.

You can also find GITD Tape and paint in the fishing section as it is used on tackle/lures to attract fish at night or in dark water.

I do not know how the price compares to baby supplies, I have not been in that section in about 10 years.
