I&#;ve seen and heard many overlanders and off-roaders list bailing wire as a must-have in one&#;s recovery kit.

Is it for use as a replacement for when a bolt shakes loose and rattles off?

Hey Alex -

You can use baling wire for all sorts of things. Imagination is your only limitation, really. Originally known more for binding bales of stuff--hence the name--typically hay or cardboard, it's regularly used for attaching fence to posts (not just farm fences), in garden and greenhouse business, auto biz for reattaching parts temporarily, just all sorts of uses.

I keep a small coil of finer gauge around all the time, both in my vehicle and on the workbench. In fact, in looking for wire I can use for the nose bridge on face masks I'm making for health care workers, I have some on my desk right now. So, I was surprised to see this thread pop up!

I've used wire to help keep things organized, too, like kept nuts and washers strung on a length of it in the past, formed into a ring. Keeps it handy and serves a purpose while being stored.

Hardware stores, as mentioned, if they're open around you, usually have wire.
Tractor Supply usually has more, though right now all they're listing online is red
Amzn has a wide selection of
I keep some of this around all the time, too, for a variety of uses and projects:
ULine has baling wire, but primarily in much

Hope you find some to keep around and find creative ways to use it!
