MacGyver Would be Proud
Baling Wire impacts culture and psychology! In New Zealand, the “kiwi ingenuity” is based on baling wire and its ad hoc versatility. Like duct tape and chewing gum, baling wire can be the solution to many problems.
Being innovative and able to improvise is part of New Zealand’s culture. The kiwis know how to live with minimal resources, and can find solutions to any problems that arise. Chuck Norris has his American jokes for being tough. In New Zealand, there must be MacGyver jokes for being innovative.
To the kiwis, baling wire is known as Number 8 Wire, the British standard for wire.
