Safety pins are like needles or pins, which are used for sewing and do not make holes in normal knitted or woven fabric! (Have you never used a pin in your clothes?)Hey folks,
I have noticed a few people saying they used safety pins to hang clothes on their backpacks during the day to help dry them out.
This will sound like a silly question, but if your using a safety pin to pin your clothes to your rucksack are you not putting a hole in the clothing? Or am I missing something with the way you do it?
Thanks

For clothing that is woven or knitted, it is already full of holes between the threads!! I wouldn't be keen to pin something like a waterproof membrane, although clothes made with membranes like rain jackets, ponchos, etc normally have loops or other attachments that allow them to be hung up, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.This will sound like a silly question, but if your using a safety pin to pin your clothes to your rucksack are you not putting a hole in the clothing?

Actually, it's best to buy and use diaper pins, which are stainless steel, do not rust, and they lock closed so they do not accidentally open and poke a baby, or more importantly drop your drying socks. In the modern world, they can sometimes be hard to find, but they are still available.TIP: best to buy and use brass safety pins. The regular metal ones will start to rust and leave a mark on your clothes.
I used diaper pins with a locking clip and I never used them with any waterproof clothing. A little hole is the least of my worries. I'd rather have a small hole than wear wet socks. It worked well for me.Hey folks,

P.S. Google "diaper pins" to know what you are looking for.
I had to think a moment about that! Maybe 40 years is a good frequency!Jeez you Canuks can be a hard people at times - more worried about losing a sock than poking a baby
I heard about a couple from Alberta buying baby diapers in BC.
Sales assistant said they came to $8.90 including the tax.
The Albertan lady was shocked "Are you crazy? We don't use tacks - we use diaper pins like normal folks!"
(I've waited 40 years to be able to trot that one out!)
I'm still thinking about that one and not getting it. Could it be because until a few years ago moeny was apparently no object in AB?I had to think a moment about that! Maybe 40 years is a good frequency!
No! They had no sales tax ("tacks") in Alberta and still don't have provincial sales tax. But $8.90 would be a lot, even with tax.I'm still thinking about that one and not getting it. Could it be because until a few years ago moeny was apparently no object in AB?
Bless you!No! They had no sales tax ("tacks") in Alberta and still don't have provincial sales tax. But $8.90 would be a lot, even with tax.
Looks like one of those demented sock puppets my daughters used to make (with button eyes of course) - the stuff of nightmares!Just been dying to post a Sock Pic. Here's my chance!

Also the best solution for hanging laundry at the end of the day. I always use the same holes.Hey folks,
