Got a great umbrella at Dollarama. was really solid all around except the flimsy aluminum cross beams that bent in the wind. No i'm not throwing it out. Put a splint on it now it kicks ass. I fixed it and its better than before. its almost too powerful. It wont crumple. its kind of like those dogs with titanium teeth. puts those 20$ umbrellas to shame.
The Clove Hitch
The trick to making a splint is to tie a midline clove hitch around the chopstick to start it off then wrap it multiple times, finishing it off with another clove hitch. and of course you want to do some overhand knots and singe the ends to prevent fraying. I used hi viz poly cord "guy line"
the above example is good for hanging stuff up. you can use it to attach stuff on carabiners.
Q: Why chopsticks? A: they came with bbq pork/ wood is good.
I got my chopsticks from the asian supermarket in jackson square. I was on a Sriracha quest but they didn't have. :(
