At one of the meetings last year I shared the use I have made of one of the many trophies I have collected over my years of canoeing.  I have named it the redneck multi-tool. 

See Paul's four-photo display of his redneck multi-tool, below.

This is a trophy I won for one of the few canoe races I participated in on the Neches.		It makes a good automatic door lock.

My heater fan won't work     unless it is tapped with the paddle, so it is a fan switch.		It makes a very good hat rack.

The earth is my mother. the sky is my father the animals are my brothers the canoe lets me get closer to them Paul.
