25 Uses For Duct Tape
@Paula Hrbacek on 04/04/2011

Here's a tip from the hikers in our family. If you are going backpacking, and want to take some duct tape, but don't want to carry the whole roll, wrap tape around your water bottle eight or nine times. It will give you enough tape for one or two jobs, without the weight. It is waterproof, so the water bottle can go through the dishwasher without harming the tape.
