How to cross the Capilano suspension bridge if you’re scared of heights - use blinders!
If you're like me and scared of heights, crossing a suspension bridge like the Capilano Suspension Bridge might feel like a scene from a horror movie. But fear not! I found a hilariously practical (and slightly ridiculous) solution: homemade blinders. Yes, blinders, like the kind horses wear, but for humans! Here's how it worked for me:

Blinders are simply pieces of material that limit your field of vision—think tunnel vision but intentional. For my contraption, I rummaged around the house and found an empty box from a Swiffer dusters kit. Here's the step-by-step brilliance:

Snip a triangle for your nose.
Staple this masterpiece to a trusty baseball cap.
Voilà! You now have your very own anti-height-anxiety accessory. Here's what my creation looked like:

From the inside, the view is blissfully boring. You can only see straight ahead. The terrifying 230-foot drops on either side? Completely blocked out. Ignorance truly is bliss!
So, next time you find yourself facing a vertigo-inducing bridge, grab a box, some scissors, and a baseball cap. Who said DIY couldn't save the day—and your nerves?
