If left stranded, my MacGyver only needs two things

I have noticed over the years that when Rod is fixing things, that there are only two things that he frequently uses.

A wire hanger. It has SO many uses that I can't even list all of them here. The latest use was to dig out the bird's nest out of our dryer vent. Just know... when in doubt, use a wire hanger.

A white sock. This is the best tool Rod has discovered.

Here are the many uses of the best invention, ever:
- cleans spills (any spills: blood, oil, soda, water)
-a snotty nose gets a good wipe with this baby
-shines shoes
-shines and cleans floors
-plugs things
-good insulation on camping trips
-work as substitute for gloves
-good storage (goggles, shoes, iPod, water bottles, guns)
-ice pack
and many, MANY more..oh yeah, and covering for your feet

What? Now duct tape? Is your husband feeling all right? I like the wire hanger idea. My favorite new tool is the old BBQ tongs. They are longer, so I can use them to get stuff that fell down the window well, or underwear and socks that the girls tossed BEHIND the washer and dryer, etc. Great little things, I tell you!

You forgot one key essential (at least at our house) double stick 3M tape. Everything in our house is put together with it.
