Most important tools in history

Post by uljersey » Fri Dec 24, 2021 3:59 am

Older article but still thought provoking. I’m posting it because the fish hook made the list. In spite of all of the technology & complexity that defines modern angling, it still all comes down to the simple fish hook who’s basic design from the beginning remains the same. Who’d have thought a simple piece of bent wire could have changed the course of mankind ?

Hmmm....they totally skipped the wheel. :lol:

The string/rope/twine
The loom
The hammer
The basket/bucket/bag
The hoe/shovel
slip bobbing is the laziest way to fish

Any “top ———“ lists will be arbitrary at best and will inspire debate but that’s part of the fun now isn’t it ? :D
