ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pickaroon

Okay kiddo, have you ever gone on a hike with your family? On a hike, sometimes you need to pick up things like logs or sticks to make a fire or clear a path. That's where a pickaroon comes in handy!

A pickaroon is a special tool that has a sharp spike on one end and a hook on the other. It's used by grown-ups like lumberjacks or firefighters to pick up heavy things that they can't lift with their hands.

So, let's say you and your family are camping and you need to move a big log to make a fire. You can use a pickaroon to stick the sharp spike into the log and then use the hook to lift it up and move it around.

It's kind of like having a special superhero tool that helps you do difficult things that you can't do on your own. But remember, because a pickaroon is so sharp, it's very important to always be careful when using it and make sure a grown-up is with you to help!
