I think this may have made the board before but now seems like a good time to revisit an old idea!!!

So, the next time there is an Armada or whatever, everyone can bring all their minicell scraps, and we can trade for what we want.
Or, we can throw them all in a pile and then dive in to reclaim our own.

I just had a visual of a paddlers version of a McDonald's ball pit
or a synthetic leaf pile to jump in ...

This thread is too funny! I feel so much better knowing that I am not alone. I've got two large garbage bags full of useless little wedges and chunks. Every time I do any outfitting I dump those bags out on the floor and spread everything out and hunt for something I can actually use. But the bags keep getting fuller after every job, so I guess it's not working.
I wish I could grind up all the little chunks, add some weldwood, and make a nice new big chunk.

God bless minicell. I love the stuff. Next to duct tape, fastex clips and velcro (Ok and transisters maybe) it is one of the great inventions of the last century.

God, grant me the serenity to accept that I can't have all the boats, river trips, etc. that I want, the courage to paddle the rivers, boats that I can and the wisdom to remain a C boater.
Scott- what's that paddle the boy is holding in the photo- I guess he is paddling sweep! Looks like a stand up paddle. With the lack of water, I guess a broom is just as good as anything else.
