This duct tape really works, look at the tire, it's only flat on the bottom, must be holding the air in at the top. What the heck were they thinking ?????

That was on a canoe trip, actually a few of them. There isn't anything like waking up in the morning in the middle of no where and have chair to do your business, only thing that was missing was the newspaper.

Did these clever folks invent the internet? The chair is suspect...needs a 5 gallon bucket under it....unless a suitable log is close by.............

That's a chair my friend made, we used it on a canoe trip that was 8 days long... over numerous trips.

I approve!! :woot: toothy

Instead of painting the plain silver bowtie on the Blazer, I filled it with black duct tape!

Silver duct tape now currently holds one of my Harbor Fright generators together. If the damn thing would have just RAN like it's supposed to, that wouldn't have been necessary! :D

One of the longest lasting wallets I ever had was made out of duct tape, and apparently upon seeing it, thieves quickly deduced that anyone poor enough not to buy a leather one was too poor to steal from, because I never got robbed. (Of course they could have been scared of my Ninja like reflexes, 2 pack abs and Kung Fo like grip, but I sooner think it was the former!) This is a tactic the lobsterman in Maine employ all the time...look poor so that you are not harassed. :-)
