If the water is too deep to just wade out, there are these new inventions called boats that could be used!

I have an even more ancient invention. Rope.

[–] CounselingTechie 2 points 6 months ago

I see your invention and raise you one even older! A stick.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

But how would you attach the rope without being able to get to the floating plants, some kind of hook?

Madness!

We've been doing research on new methods/tools for placing items at a distance. One is more accurate, but doesn't give as much distance. It's called stick. The other can give greater distance, but accuracy can be a problem. It's called throwing.

You could just leave a line attached to the raft and a pole on shore.

Says the person that has likely never sat in a kanoe and tried to reach something heavy outside of it.

First, I have pulled someone who fell out of a canoe back in more than once. Also a loaded cooler once after someone tipped over.

Second, there are more boats than just canoes if you need the stability and the space to put harvest. A basic rowboat for example.

If you haven't learned how to counterbalance in a boat it could be an issue.
