Carabiner Labeling
If you stay in small canyoneering group, this may not apply to you but for me and my friends this method works quite well.
So we typically bring a lot of noobs with us on our adventures and as such, we loan out many carabiners and descender devices.
Anyway, retrieving them can be a hassle sometimes. So my friend Jeff Guest created a simple solution (I mean, besides using our brains and just remembering).
He used one color of nail polish and applies the polish to a unused area of the gear. In this example, he uses green. Therefore if any piece of gear gets left behind we known exactly who's it is.
And mine is red.
And it has worked remarkable well over the years, especially when it takes months to get gear back and our memories of that trip and who went on what trip, etc.
This works for us. Do you guys or ladies have a system that works for you?

I use colored electrical tape, but it seems to get beat up pretty quick...so I might just try your method.
I like Brian's idea with the engraver, but I think I would prefer something easier to see at a glance.

I use a black Magic Marker with my initials. Yes it comes off easily and has to be redone frequently, but it is cheap and easy.
