Banjopickin member Registered: 02/14/10 Posts: 58 Loc: NC	I have come into posession of a huge roll of baling twine. If your not sure what that is its the orange(typically) synthetic twine that is used on balers when creating hay bales and/or pine straw bales. A farmer buddy of mine gave me one and its probably many thousands of feet of the stuff. Its fairly strong and its really easy to tie into knots. So far ive used it for tying down my tarp but im sure there are tons of other uses for the stuff. Anybody have any suggestions for putting this stuff to good use in my pack?? Thanks. _________________________ Climb the Mountains and get their good tidings... -John Muir

Tie up trash, hoist antennas, pull electrical wire, guy line, but I've never used it for my banjo...maybe for a strap sling? _________________________ paul, texas KD5IVP

Lot of fun! _________________________ "To me, hammocking is relaxing, laying, swaying. A steady slow morphine drip without the risk of renal failure." - Dale Gribbel
