If you can't fix it with duct tape....it can't be fixed.

Worked pretty good in immobilizing a patients head on a backboard after a mini van wreck where we ran out of CIDs.

Duct tape has taken a beating in the media, but that stuff is great! We used it to seal a gap in the door, left by having to run the generator cord through. It and plastic sheeting kept the poisonous gasses out.
Duct tape can also help make protective clothing, a shelter, a bag to carry and most anything else you can think of. Duct tape has a site that will give directions on making things as well as ideas for it's use.

I use ductape and a loop of 550 cord to make my own magpulls for my 30 rd mags.

I've used it to mend most eveything. I keep a roll in my bob :cheers:
