The snow and moose took out a section of fence around my dog’s run and normally I’d just go to Home Depot and buy 25 feet of livestock fencing and two T-posts.  However, Covid-19 shelter-in-place orders are in effect and I wouldn’t be able to get the fencing material down to the ground anyway with lots of snow frozen in place.

I keep a lot of materials around including old crutches as a source of aluminum tubing and fiberglass-rod driveway markers as pack stays, and atlatl throwing darts (and as driveway markers).  That, lots of ropes and scout knots and I replaced a section of fence.

Talk about MYOG, David! Well done. I expect that the dog doesn’t have any special opinion about what you’ve done, either way.

Never thought of you as the macramé type, David.  But it looks good!

 

If there is one thing this Covid19 pandemic will do, it is to get people to think a little out of the box.  Or in your case, out of the garage.

Paul, I’m actually an okay seamstress.  I embroidered my own hippie jeans in high school and after I explained to my mother how to sew merit badges onto the sash so they looked best, I found I had to do it from then on.

Never got into bondage, so my fancy rope work is limited to Turk’s heads, barrel hitches, diamond and spider hitches for backpacking without a pack bag.

I keep a couple of (partial) coils of fencing wire and a couple of partial coils of electric fencing tape in the barn, plus some spare star stakes.

Cheers
