Do you use any magnetic hooks on that backboard? I have a few of these style (https://www.amazon.com/Powerful-Refrigerator-Magnetic-Neodymium-Upgraded/dp/B07QSJ6Q72/?th=1) stuck to various appliances and they're impressively strong and handy.I got sick of rummaging through drawers to find things like sockets and wrenches that were not easy to keep organized, small or had multiples of. over the winter I added a steel backboard to my bench. I added two small shelves for sockets and got a set of socket holders and also built a rack for wrenches. That alone freed up two drawers in my tool box and put the most common tools out in sight, quick and easy to reach. Now if I come across a tool that doesn’t have a place in the box I just bend a peg or holder to fit and weld it to the backboard where I want. Made some small shelves to hold drill bits and hole saws as well. Things like clamps and vice-grips are all stored in shelves under the pull out welding table on the left side of the bench, it keeps them in reach during welding jobs and out of the boxes.
after the picture I also bought a rolling bench top box to organize my cordless tools and electrical wiring tools. I don’t really have anything like dividers in the box drawers, but getting more commonly used tools out on the backboard helps.
Im sure my trail tools and home garage tools are minimal compared to some, but I keep duplIcates. I don’t like digging through bags and tool rolls in the garage because I’m lazy. I would love to see trail tool load outs with pics and lists from people like you and @wibornz who do remote multi-day trips but I know it’s a big ask.
My towel holder is on an old CB antenna magnet and I considered using more magnets but I do a lot of cutting and grinding at the bench and figured the magnets would be big balls of grindings after a while.
