Clothes Pins

If the clothes pin were invented today it would have 3 transistors and IC a photo coupler moisture detector and a solar panel Each would take a 9V battery or get get power from a steel clothes line. In which case each would be worth more than the pair of shorts they are holding up.

I just use a dryer...

LOL We had to replace our fridge.. The TV went out in it....

Why was your TV in the fridge? And how does this involve a clothesline?

Of course none of these could be used without pending UL approval..

Its part of the it needs to be complex in order to make it simple mentality of todays people.

a friend of mine has a $50 set of stakes to hold down her $40 tent. I have four sticks (locally supplied of course!) And if the supplier is out of stock I have the rock alternative.

Since camping always involves a fire. sticks and some rocks are always needed so its my solution to tent anchoring as well!
