Baling twine and all of its uses around the barn!

 

Bailing twine is one of those things that is right up there with Duct Tape and Luck. Can never have enough, and never know when you’ll need it. Some of the uses that you guys have shared with me are:

 

  • Breakaway loop for cross ties, at the trailer, at the hitching post

 

  • Tie-down “stuff” in the back of your pickup truck

 

  • Craft projects – wreaths!

 

  • Use a ball of them to make a bucket scrubbing ball

  • Emergency hair tie (for you!)

 

  • Spur straps
