What the Duct Tape?
You may be asking yourself, "Why is there duct tape in my Wanderlust Kit?"
Well....let us count the ways:
Fix-it Fast --Torn backpack strap? Leaky water bottle? Duct take is your trailside tool for quick repairs.
Blister Saver --No Moleskin? No problem. A strip of duct tape can help prevent or protect against blisters in a pinch.
Tent Troubles -- Small rip in your tent or rainfly? Seal it up until your back home.
Firestarter Hack --Believe it or not, duct take is flammable. Use a strip to help get a stubborn fire going (safely, of course).
Emergency Splint --Find a couple of sturdy branches and use duct take to secure an injured limb.
Broken Hiking Pole --Wrap it up for temporary support until you're back to the trailhead.
Shoe Malfunction --If part of your boot or shoe is coming off then tape it and keep going.
Need rope to make a shelter -- Fold the duct tape on itself and you now have a strong rope.
Because in the wild, it's not if something goes wrong--it's when. That little roll of duct tape? A true hero in disguise. And it helps that it has a cute print on it :)
