I can just bend down and pick it up if my stilts aint up no higher than
that
CAPTBORG · September 26, 2014 at 11:38 PM
Magnet with rope. Simple, safe effective.
SticksNkicks · September 27, 2014 at 12:04 AM
I’d just go home.

I just have my camera man, pick it up…and hand it to me !!!
But seriously man, thanks for taking the time to upload all these awesome
vids
Yours have been the most useful I’ve found, because of the EXCELLENT
Lighting—Camerawork—Mud Slingr Skill—combo-pack.
As a DIY’er, doing a large-scale addition/renovation…..I thank you.

I just keep a magnet on a string in my pocket..
Samuel Hernández · September 27, 2014 at 2:43 AM
Lol I just set my knife on the heal of my stilt flick it up and catch it.
HumpinGrannys · September 27, 2014 at 3:03 AM
I just take one stilt off put my foot on the ground, bend over and grab it
then put the stilt back on, whole procedure takes under 30 seconds. Whats
so bad about getting off a stilt then getting back up? 25000 Bd ft per week
kinda guy.

good stilts
Bushman Canuck · September 27, 2014 at 3:36 AM
@mudslingrpro your Canadian eh?…another trick is kicking stuff to stairs
and then going down a few steps to pick it up from floor. 10,000 views…
impressive
Tim Richardson · September 27, 2014 at 4:05 AM
Can you just drill a hole through the handle and tie a string through it
and loosely around your wrist? If it falls out of your hand you will have
caught it before it would have hit the floor.
Mud Slingr · September 27, 2014 at 4:09 AM
LOL That’s what they used to call the strings that kept our mittens from
getting lost when we were kids. A stick and a magnet would work well if I
only would get around to rigging it up. 🙂 You are right though ! Safer is
always better.

I’ve used a magnetic pick up for years now, i fashioned it from an old
fishing rod section with a decent round magnet taped to the end and a bar
magnet along the side. When i’m done picking up whatever it is i dropped, i
simply slap it back unto the side of the stilts and it stays just below the
knee for quick access. Also comes in handy for picking up a spilled box of
nails too.
Michael Chandler · September 27, 2014 at 5:25 AM
You could of at least actually picked it up in the vid
Mud Slingr · September 27, 2014 at 6:02 AM
@movedwithcompassion Thank you !
prutis4 · September 27, 2014 at 6:19 AM
I always have a tape measure nearby so i just loop it under what i dropped
and flip it up. But ive also done this here. I used to just bend over and
pick it up next to the wall but after 2 knee injuries theres not much bend
left.
John Mark Earle · September 27, 2014 at 7:04 AM
I was just finishing a job while my helper was away, and joked to her that
I went through the whole job without dropping my sanding sponge once. A
huge accomplishment for me as I am often asking her to come pick it for me,
or doing balancing act to do what you have shown here. Keep up the good
work.
David Johannesson · September 27, 2014 at 7:15 AM
Heheh.. some had that stilts in sweden. But we are not allowed to use it..
Mud Slingr · September 27, 2014 at 7:43 AM
@gpgab971 Great idea ! One of those things I’ve always told myself to get
but have never got around to it. I’m using Skywalker stilts now and can’t
do this trick on them. I guess it’s time to buy a magnet !
TRUSTRIDE · September 27, 2014 at 8:36 AM
very good job
HumpinGrannys · September 27, 2014 at 8:57 AM
@mudslingpro Yes. Obviously depends on the job though.
smartsy1 · September 27, 2014 at 9:13 AM
Are they hard to walk on when you first started using stilts?
Mud Slingr · September 27, 2014 at 9:54 AM
@smartsy1 Not really ! Took about half an hour to get used to and the rest
of the day to adjust. Looking up and working overhead is the trickiest part
I find.
Mud Slingr · September 27, 2014 at 10:31 AM
@TRUSTRIDE Thank you !
Self Observer · September 27, 2014 at 11:18 AM
Really wish I still had mine, I could show you how you can squat and pick
that up off the floor in the middle of the room 🙂 But if you can picture
this… step out wide with your right foot so your feet are 2x shoulder
width apart, and while keeping your right leg relatively straight, twist
and squat as if your trying to touch the ground with your left knee, after
a little bit of practice so you can squat in a controlled way so you dont
put your back out, you will touch the floor in no time 🙂
