Yeah @rosecarr, I just used a bent coat hanger to fish it out. Worked fine once I got the angle right.

Tempe landlords do that, like taylor.jessica said.

Seems like overkill for most homes. A proper tape job lasts years if it's done right. People just like buying new tools.

Wait, it only lasted one Ohio winter? That's actually impressive.

Ugh the "lightweight means thin and easy to break" thing is so real lol. I had a fancy pad get wrecked by a single, pointy little twig in Utah. It sounded like a balloon popping and I was just done. I switched to a Therm-a-Rest Z Lite foam pad. It's bulky but you can literally throw it on sharp rocks and nothing happens. Slept on gravel with it once and was fine.
