I keep the ones I really use on a lanyard and even then before I get up to move to another spot, I take an inventory of calls , strikers etc.

Get in touch with Glenda Green on this forum and purchase a striker pouch and its waterproof to protect your strikers if you get caught in the rain.
Your problem will be solved.
She makes some fine products and the craftsmanship of her products is second to none.

Make sure to put them in the pockets before you stand up and make sure the pocket is secure.

THREE already this year!?
If you are just forgetting them beside the tree you were last setup at, maybe adding ginkgo to your daily vitamin regimen will help. :P
Joking aside, previous suggestions are good ones. Before I change setups or leave the area I am hunting I take inventory of my gear and secure it before I do anything else.

Striker Rollup as well. Keeps ALL of your strikers in one place. When you set down they lay out on the ground in their respective slots. When you move, just roll them up and put back in a vest or pants pocket and move on.

Thanks guys will try some sort of lanyard or roll up. Running pots exclusively this year for the first time usually mouth call only so picking everything up takes some getting used to.
Lost 2 of the 3 running and gunning in Texas with them stuck in the top of my snake boots. The 3rd may have been left on the ground after a shot.... too fired up to remember to pick everything up

I need to make a roll up, kind of like knife collectors use. I carry 6 or 7 strikers with me on every hunt.

Good suggestions all. I carry a little brown hand towel that I put down next to me. Anything I need to put down goes there.
