What about wood eating insects,fire. Sure it won't
rust but it will rot. Wood does snap It will foat but does get
waterlogged. And when you get cold you can use it to start a fire to
stay warm but your have to walk back to your car or home. Its a woody
and what about MR. Wood- peker.

ago. Can't remember if it was the same design but it was all wood.
