This is a good reason to have children. I personally get my own kids involved
by placing them far out of harms way and having them keep an eye on little
munchskins running around. This makes them feel part of what is going on. They
are my police squad so to speak. Ok, maybe this isn't the only reason to have
kids, but, it is a plus. Whatever your "kid" situation might be, as a coiler
you must know the motto "use what you have and scavenge what you have not".
I'll let you fill in the blanks.
