I needed quality, rustproof wire for my outdoor repair kit. I also wanted to give my friends a meter or two of the same wire for their repair kits. In practice, wire can be used in many ways: it holds together crampons, ski bindings or backpack frames that have lost a screw or bolt. You can also use wire to secure a broken ski pole or to secure the sole of a boot that has started to delaminate. Because there is more wire in this jar than I will use in my lifetime for outdoor repairs, the wire is now used primarily for housework β for example, protecting vegetation from deer in winter by stringing chicken wire around bushes and trees wraps.
