Hi
   This one won't be easy, can any one guess why and what I made this for?


Hints.


1. It is camping related.


2. I don't need it when the weather is pleasant.


3. I don't have a camper trailer.





I plan on not commenting or dropping hints, but will put up the answer and a photo in about a week unless some one gets the answer spot on.


cheers

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?  (Homer J Simpson).

Are you least going to give us warmer colder????

The length looks like it has some significance. And the toothed ends would hint at it being used to space something apart that is done repetitively.

Why is one end different to the other?

Is this an important thing or did ya just cock it up when you cut it?

Can it be used by the wife as well as the husband?

Why did ya paint it such a sh!tty red colour?

Can it be used during campany or not?

OK, here's my guess..... its for holding a camcorder so ya can film yaself having sex. What do i win.....well

The collector for the timed switching device that is incorporated in the nature of the bee-bees in brine as used in a flux capacitor. In conjunction with a magnetic field and the load, the flux capacitor uses the hierarchical structure of the cosmos as a timer! The trilamination of the tiny spheres with selected metals and their subjection to a magnetic field and current (sustained by the load) destabilizes the orderliness of the proton, the heavier atom and the "tissue" of individual layers of metal. The matter then seeks to re-establish itself in the fractal set.

1. Well that makes sense as it's a camping forum.
2. But you will need it BEFORE the weather gets too unpleasant.
3. Many people don't.  So you either have a swag, a tent, a canoe, or sleep in your beast.

You've hinted that it's for spacing something that you do regularly enough, but you still need some form of guide to do it right and built one.  You also hinted that you can't tell 400mm from 350mm by eye.   ;D  Me either.

I'm trying to fathom what could be 400 apart and used for camping in inclement weather.  It's got nothing to do with ropes or pegs I'm assuming.

OK lets have another crack at this. Would it be used to roll up a guy rope?
