So what is your "thing?"

As I was making a chin strap for my Indiana Jones style "yard hat" today, out of paracord, I couldn't help but break out in laughter, because that is my "thing." I use paracord for everything, from limb lines, to skinning gambrels, and anything else you can think of. Just got me laughing a little bit, maybe we can learn what some of you do on the trapline, that is your "thing."

14ga wire is my thing.I use it a lot from temporary repairs on motorized stuff,to killing stuff,and everything in between.And wire is cheap.

I'm a wire guy too Boco, but paracord is my 1st thought if anything ever goes awry!

My thing is using anything but bait. Lure, urine, visual attractants, and blind sets. I was always that way even up in Kansas but here in Texas we don't have winter to force the bugs into hibernation so bait gets to warm or too buggy for my tastes. I know it works but I avoid it

#120 tared Net Twine
14ga. wire

wire,zip ties,and the BFH.

A trowel. Can't nothing stand against a good digging.

I buy baling wire by the 75 pound box

Most go to item has to be the pliers in my overall pocket..hard to say what goes with that for used items? In my truck I do have zip ties stashed all over.. Also a part roll of 14ga wire fits nice stuffed in center of roll duck tape..Try not to leave home without it.

i like your style Mac.

Yes duct tape and wire, good vice grips in truck has saved the day.
Something stout enough to pry a bent fender away from a tire.
Lightly tethered sharp razor knife, if you are upside down in truck, the seat belt wont release.
Yeah, I worked off road some.

An acquaintance, "what is all this junk in your truck?"
Me, "Get out" lol

Lots and lots of zip ties

This one is going to be odd but PVC. If it need a frame of some sort or a tube to let something out I can usually rig something with PVC. My most odd item was a pesticide fogger using a clean out plug to make a chamber to drop a roach fogger into with a reducer tee to make the "wand".

We do movie night at the church with a PVC frame, canvas drop cloth and a couple t-posts.

Cutting torch and welder.

550 cord, electrical tape and nashua duct tape. Sometimes wire. If it cant be fixed with some mixture of those...then its broken.

Bad luck and broken dreams.

Leatherman, duct tape, jb weld, and seine twine. I've always got those with me or very nearby. I even stash them in my checked bags when I travel out-of-state.

Pliers, balling wire, duct tape, and zip ties, all essential.

In Michigan, we call that stuff 'binder twine'...Lol

A jackknife in your pocket

Like Red Green always says, "If you want to keep something from coming off, you use duct tape. If you want something to come off, you use WD-40."

trapping shovels different handles,lengths, different blades, shapes and sizes of cutting edges made about 30 so far so i musta used some for a couple years

Oh, and wimmen'. Mostly, wimmen' are my thing.

Scrap wood. PB Blaster. Big hammer. Electricians tape. Pocket knife. Hose clamps. Pliers.

You've made me sad.
Once upon a time I could cut a nut off of a bolt without damaging the threads on the bolt.
I hope that some kids can still do that.

Having a gun on me.

Tarp straps.

My thing is something I got off the curb, picked up a Honda self-propelled mower Friday that I will get running this afternoon and will turn into cash next week.

duct tape, tarred twine and wire.. It that doesn't work it cant be fixed.

My thing is a Pocket knife. My Dad gave me a pocket knife when I was very young. He told me it wasn't a toy. It is a tool, you should always have one on you. I have carried one on me ever since. Since I have lost my Dad, I carry his pocket knife. Every time I use it, I thank him for giving me a hand...

Duct tape and wire is always in my truck and sled. And always have a band-aid in my wallet too.

Genoa salami and good hard crusted Italian bread.
