Wind Waker: Great sticks from Wind Waker for people living on the move.

 Great sticks from Wind Waker for people living on the move.

Bait Bag: The bait bag does what you think it does. It is a bag to hold bait. Link can purchase the bag from the merchant Beedle who also sails the Great Sea. The bag holds hyoi pears and all purpose bait that Link can use in his adventures. Stay tuned for what those pears and the bait do when those item cards appear on the blog.

Some people stay in one place their whole lives without ever looking to see what’s over the next hill. Those people fill their lives with so much stuff that, if they ever feel like starting over someplace new, they are too weighed down by all their material goods to really enjoy the change. Not so for the modern nomad, living with their whole life tied up in a sack slung over their shoulder, ready to jump a train to the next opportunity.

Hangool: Nomads in the horn of Africa use this simply looking stick in a variety of helpful ways. Cane, hook, driving switch, club, and so much more all in one everyday stick. One ritual of becoming an adult is going into the wild and finding the perfect stick to be honed into a hangool, so each hangool is unique to its owner.

----------

Hangools are real things from Somalia. In trying to research this post, I was shocked at how little information about traditional Somalian tools there was online in English. Makes me sad, especially because of how expansive the Wikipedia article on wrenches is.

Vocab fun fact: Sticks with sacks tied around their end are called bindle sticks. Now you know that.

Be excellent to everyone.
