I love this stuff. I suppose there's a city slicker or two who think they're McGiver, but country boys grew up making do with whatever was at hand (usually bailing wire and all sizes and shapes of timber). During my year at Infantry School, we were treated to a few examples of field expedients, but I don't think any classroom lesson could compare with a lifetime under the tutelage of mother's necessity. [BTW, I really wish RP Admins would pay attention to our requests for adding topics such as "Field Expedients," "Coffee,' "Woke," et al.]
