Having made a comment to Blast about being windbound for 3 days has got me thinking about McGyvering and resources that are useful and right under my nose, like the following:

Legal to pick-up:
A 5gal plastic bucket,
A 24" plastic fan screen,
A large piece of styrofoam,
cane growing on the canal bank (good for fishing poles, shelter building, etc)
Several boards (2x4's, 2x6's, 4x4's),
An orange lifejacket,
A plethora of driftwood for shelter making & firewood,

Illegal to take/make use of:
4 signboards that are approx 4'x5' ea,
2 heavily damaged camps (temp shelter)(perhaps some overlooked useful items inside of ea),
A sand & gravel yard w/a dragline & a dumptruck (temp shelters and perhaps some useful items inside of ea),
A petroleum production dock with solar panel arrays (and other useful items),
A bridge with accessible Navigation Lights,


When you have time to stop & smell the roses, take a look around and notice what useful items you see laying around,,,let me know.
