A Good Hobby Should Spur the Imagination

What are all those (four) tools?  Easy that.  They are a combo metal file/saw, a combo fish scale remover/rudimentary rule, a wood saw, and an 8x magnifier.  They are, of course, miniaturized versions of larger tools that work better.  Yet an average outdoors person similar to Crumby may easily imagine himself operating these particular tools in all sorts of usual or unusual or even perilous situation, thus saving himself from aggravation, deprivation or danger.

The key, though, is imagination. Crumby is fairly unlikely to ever actually use any of these tools.  But Crumby has already imagined using them lots of times.  Plus, looking forward, Crumby hopes to continue imagining using these tools. Consider just the ruler and the magnifier.  The imaginings incorporating those simple tools into botanical adventures are limitless.
