Tell Us Your Tale

OK, you voyeur, you. Enough of reading other people's stories. It's time you told your own tale of gripping heroism or even just neat DIY'ism. We know there's a Shakespeare in you somewhere. Don't make us use the Steens to find it.

Who Needs a Toolbox

We go every year on a spring fishing week which is about an 8 hour drive from door to camp. We have to get in by ATV as it is a long ways off the pavement.
 
About an hour past the last house the truck broke down and I used my New Wave to implement some repairs on the power steering. It was at least enough to get us to the parking spot and back out to a garage the next day. I was very pleased with myself that I had been able to use the tool and save the day. We parked and used the wheeler to get the next 7 kms to the camp. The next morning we fired up the ATV to head back to the truck and as I turned it around in a clearcut, a branch went up through the bottom and took out the coolant hose. After a little foul language out came the Leatherman and we made repairs using the rubber off the chainsaw handgrip and some wire. It was a slow trip out but a lot shorter than if we had to walk. I have carried this tool everyday since and use it with great pride.
