Duct tape is an all around useful item to have for repairs.<br>It can be used to repair leaks in rafts / floats , tears in clothing and bags and if your shelter is leaking, it help you repair the shelter and keep you dry. In a pinch, it can also double up as a bandage with some clean cloth over the wound, the use is limited by your imagination.<br>It is waterproof and sticks to almost anything.<br>The problem is how to get this useful item into your kit. I myself don't fancy carrying a whole roll. It's too large and impractical.<br><br>The solution is to get duct tape from the roll. Start with a base of paper left over from the yellow paper which you peel stickers off. If you can find a sticker album ( for kids who collect stickers), cut some the width of the duct-tape and about half the length of your kit. Peel the duct tape off the roll and stick it onto the sticker paper. Duct tape will stick to itself but will peel off as well, so wrap it around your paper and you have a flat package of duct tape in your PSK!<br><br>I keep a 'flat roll' in my urban carry kit and has been immensely useful in repairing my kid's leaking float. The satisfaction that comes from looking at my happy kid running back to play in the pool with a newly repaired float cannot be described....<br><br>
