Two words.. Duct tape

My kids and I each have a BOB, each one contains a roll of duct tape. If you're unfamiliar with the different uses if it, Google survival uses for duct tape. Most of it you'll never use, some of it you might want to know. Duct tape, as much as men joke about it, can turn out to be one of the most versatile items you can possess. And no, I'm not joking about now, being completely serious.

 

Always in my pack...love it!

 

No, it's not. With so many different manufacturers of it now, they are all trying to make it less expensive unfortunately that means a lower quality as well.

 

Best tape that I have found is Gorilla tape, it's more expensive, but if it's in a situation where it has to be good, it's hard to find better.

 

Agree with Doug. Gorilla tape is awesome!

Your welcome.

 

Duct tape isn't the best and strongest tape out there but it can be very useful. For example, if you are camping in the wild there are many situations that you can find yourself needing tape. Tape can help a broken tent stay upright, along with many other things. I usually bring duct tape with me if I'm going on an outdoor trip and I recommend it unless you want to use a stronger tape.

 

Duct tape is o.k. but there is much better on the market now.
Gorilla tape.
Great stuff.

Think Gorilla tape when duct tape just won't do.
Gorilla glue is also awesome.

 

As expressed by everyone in here, Duck (Duct) tape has really sought to capitalize off its former quality with so many knock-off brands. What happened was that Duck tape became a generic trademark like Kleenex, and people started to buy the cheaper knock-offs. Duct tape therefore, had to reduce quality in order to maintain profit margins. I mean, "Duck tape" was long called "Duct tape." But, the marketing image and quality created by the specific Duck brand in the 70's-90's, was gobbled up by knock-offs over the years; resulting in lower quality across the board.

Also, you have the superglue phenomenon, where something is too potent in its original form. Superglue isn't anything like it used to be when it first came out. A decade or more ago, I had bought some really good waterproof and heat resistant "Duct tape"-like rolls that were a lot better than even the original Duct tape. I'm not sure what the brand name was.

 

I taped some ducks once and they didn't give a quack.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I'm so sorry for that awful pun!

 

I ain't right in my head ya know.
And don't wanna be.
