Hobo Reel

myminifactory

A hobo reel is a bushcraft tool designed to fit neatly in your backpack. Traditionally carved from wood, it lasts longer than its predecessors and serves better as a result. The custom pipe threads and deep shaft I incorporated ensure the cap and handle remain watertight when assembled without an o-ring or gasket. Thorough testing confirms this design is indeed watertight. Additionally, it floats, offering a convenient bonus feature. The inner cavity stores tackle, providing a space for packing whatever gear you choose to carry. A quick search for "hobo reels" yields a wealth of information on these functional tools.
