Surely everyone has WD40 and Gaffer Tape? Although if you live in the country the other essential is Baler Twine (otherwise known as Cornish Glue) With these three items you can fix anything!

Duct tape is all well and good but I've discovered and fell in love with Gorilla tape.

you can use duct tape on verrucas apparently - it makes them disappear!

I don't know if you have to spray with WD40 first
(don't try this at home)

Oreil Have yet to spy a beaver in my garden.
But might give the tree trunks a spray,
you never know it might stop the cats. climbing up after the birds
Think cartoon cat sliding down tree with puzzled look on its little face smile

My mantra is 'There are only two things you need in life; WD40 to make things go and Duct Tape to make them stop.'

Apparently you can use WD40 on your trees to prevent beavers chewing them!!!

........So useful grin

Who would have thought it??
Not me!
2 strong tree branches and duct tape
voila you have a stretcher!
To remove snow/ ice from your windscreen just squirt with WD40
