When I read about all the small screws and tools use posted on this thread, I haven't seen any postings on one of the most important necessaties when working with small things out in the "bush".

You better bring along a large white cloth to work on. If you drop a small screwdriver, or even worse a small screw on the ground, finding it in grass, leaves, snow or even plain dirt can be a real pain if not impossible.

Lay the cloth out and work very close to its surface with movements that will not cause the part to spring out past the cloth, but rather drop straight down.

Murphy's law applies here in huge amounts.
