Short and sweet one for number 9 of the 10 C's of Survival Series...
From injuries to pack malfunctions, a roll of duct tape serves as many functions in the wilderness as it does in the city. Carrying a few metres wrapped around a card in your pack takes up hardly any space or weight and gives you more options. It's also a handy place to keep a couple of needles and/or fishing hooks taped in the middle of the card for emergencies.
Recently I stumbled across the new Camo Gorilla tape, it has a great "Realtree" type pattern in a matte finish and looks really good, something a little bit different to the bog standard black or silver.
A fun little project that doesn't take a lot of time is the duct tape wallet. I made one for Logan a while ago that he kept some old bank cards and some printed Toy Story money in to play with, but the wallet is a fuctional wallet for an adult too and can be made any way you want and when it starts to get worn out it can be repaired with tape.

I have some really pretty duct tape, with owls on and one with loads of pretty camper vans on it is great that they do a variety of designs now :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite use for duct tape is to bind the parts of a hive together when moving bees. I also put sponge in the door and secure it with... Duct tape!
