My dad used to say “Son, if you can’t fix it with duct tape, then you’re in REALLY serious trouble!”
Well, my dad was a wise man, because over the years, I’ve used duct tape to get myself out of more jams (and stupid decisions) than I’d care to admit. From stuck-by-the-side-of-the-road car repairs to emergency plumbing DIYs, duct tape has saved my butt many, many times.
Strong, cheap and versatile – duct tape definitely has a place in every smart person’s preparation planning!
Our good friends over at American Preppers Network have a great post titled “5 Best Uses for Duct Tape in a Crisis” that you can read here.
Here’s a quick look at their list:
- Clothing
- First-Aid
- Patching
- Cordage
- Insulation
What do you think of that list? Any big uses they missed?
If you appreciate what we do here at Prepping News, please take a moment to share this with your friends and family. Thank you!
