Leave a ziploc bag in the cockpit. Contained therein the grease syringe for reapplying, a small rag for wiping your key clean and a pebble from the beach so it all doesn't fly away.

Oh, a Practical Bovine Owner? Well, strike out "in the cockpit" with "by the gate". I'm sure he can find a pebble substitute somewhere if there's no beach nearby - or even keep a rag in the car

My bosun has horses in a field, her lock is a combination one and a small bottle of car lock antifreeze is all she ever need to work it. it's kept in the 4WD glove compartment.
