    Arrow Shaft Toggle : Multi-use

    I finally got around to making a couple of aluminum arrow shaft toggles. How could these be modified for other purposes? I haven't fabricated anything yet, but my thoughts were maybe
    high pitch whistle
    match safe
    fire piston
    fishing spear hook

    Just trying to brainstorm a bit.

    Tracheotomy straw.

    Sorry. Now that was just silly.

    But how about capping both ends and storing pre-shaved magnesium for fire starting?

    Haha, tiny culvert! That's great.

    I made a few tarp pegs out of arrow shafts - just double the length and angle cut one end.
