You pretty much covered it. But I try to have some everywhere I can put it.

How do you wrap it so it doesn't stick? Or does it just stick? If that made any sense at all...

Around a bobby pin, leaving the top "eye" open so it can be used as an attachment point. Not sure where I saw it but probably here on ETS Works great!

Ok, another n00b question: when you unwind it from the original roll and wrap it around whatever you decide to use, does it lose any of it's "stickiness"?

repeat on an SF trick for the new members...36" of 550 cord, duct tape one end (use extra tape) to a Bic, and the other tied to a Swiss Army Knife (I use a Farmer)... loop behind belt, and pull both implement attached running ends thru, place in pocket...you'll have it when you need it

Use gaffer's tape instead of duct tape. gaffer's tape is very similar to duct tape except that gaffer's tape can be lifted and reused a few times and does not leave a residue on whatever you adhere it to. The only gotcha is that a lot of gaffer's tape for sale is not very good quality. Buy a reputable brand like 3M.

Word! Gaffer's tape is also available in low-temperature versions that will retain more stickiness in cold weather.
