Fun topic! When I was a kid, I locked myself out of a bedroom in my house. I took a hairpin and picked the lock, and I was very proud and felt like MacGyver himself.

Good stories. Thanks, Ebi.ebineez01 wrote:All these stories are fantastic!
I was only thinking of asking the same question a few days after Christmas due to my own 'what would MacGyver do?' moment.
I was given a hammock for Christmas, the type you string between two trees. Unfortunately the straps that came with it were not good and kept stretching so that no matter how high I strung the thing, five minutes after I got into it my butt was on the ground!
While wondering how long I would have to wait for new straps to be delivered if I ordered them on the net, I had THE thought...what would Mac do? So I went fossicking in my shed and came up with two perfectly good straps from old climbing harnesses - that are even adjustable. Just a quick modification with the trusty knife and they have done the job perfectly
Another moment was when I cut my finger and had no bandages. Cut off a clean piece of rag and secured it all with - you guessed it - duct tape not exactly a first class Mac moment that one - but the duct tape made me smile anyway
