1) Make a rope: Twist one or several lengths of duct tape into a cord or rope. Of course paracord  would be a lot better and you do have some of that, right?)

2) Reseal packages of food:  Use duct tape to seal up partially opened packages of food.  Fold over the top of the package and seal it tight with a piece of duct tape. Works for cans, too.  Simply fashion a lid out of duct tape.

3) Splint a broken tent pole or fishing pole: Tape a stick to the broken area of your tent pole or fishing rod, and you might just get one last adventure out of it.

The unlimited amount of duct tape uses don't stop here. After the break, learn how to use duct when you're bugging out and get injured.

    Fire making isn’t on this list? I’m a logger and make fires at work all winter using duct tape because I can wrap a bunch around a lighter and get some pitch wood and build a very quick fire. Duct tape burns great for those who might not know.

    Last year we got caught In a downpour while hiking, boots got total soaked thru. It takes a long time to dry boots out by a fire, so while we waited we made shoes out of duck tape and tree bark. Worked like a champ!
    If duck tape can’t fix it, it’s broke!
