Unnecessary in my opinion. I very rarely pick the touch hole unless it's extra humid.

Ahh...no.
Nope on the compressed air. I generally don't take vent pick either.
" Does anyone take compressed air to the range and blow out their touch hole between shots?" No - even though I have a lightweight portable California air tool compressor (35 pounds 1 HP model) I use for small work it just too cumbersome to tote around
the only compressed air I take with me is after a night at the Mexican restaurant,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
no , because i would need 15 miles of hose.

Hmmm, not really... I would only need an air compressor in the event of loading a DryBall. At the range, that would be inpractical, to say notheing of the safety concerns with the flying ball. If the touch hold is too fouled up I would just break out a pipe cleaner to remedy that.
I feel like this is a bait post for another thread on blowing down the barrel.

Definitely not necessary OP. As said above keep a vent pick handy but you might not even need it. Lately I haven’t had need for one at all.
