1. Gardeners' or tilers' (hardware store) kneepads or a thick closed cell foam pad. Plus side of foam pad is that you can sit on it as well

2. Set of hiking poles, to help you get up from the kneeling position (particularly useful if you are wearing a backpack). Poles should be for balance, your arms alone aren't going to get you up.

3. Do practice getting up from a kneeling position at home - consider it an exercise for balance and for leg strength.

4. Get yourself up, then bend down and fetch your gear.
