I’ll probably be the only one here to say this, but I don’t like the stuff, and have regretted using it in the past as it leaves it’s sticky residue and only delays things or makes them worse.

I don’t even carry it on my work truck, as a repairman, I have never found it useful and eventually quit even keeping it at all.

I can see having some and carrying a little in a survival kit, but I think people should in general avoid it around the house.

Duct Tape sure helped these guys get back home.

I used it to patch a hole in an old kayak that was starting to break down. That bugger held up for a long time, til the kayak was just plain junk and thrown out. :o)

Ain’t exactly prepper but when you move your cactus to the patio this spring and get spines in your hands, duct tape applied adhesive side down to spines on your hands and pulled off quickly will make short work of them.

I use it as Moleskin.

Sticks to my foot or toes and ankles on the one side and slips against the shoe or boot on the other.

Can’t tell you how many knew and Kewel shoes I’ve bought and instantly had problems with. I currently have on a pair of Vans that rub my middle, on my right foot raw. I forget they do this but, once I feel it I slap a piece of tape over it and no problemohs

Emergency candle or firestarter.
Duct tape and a stick can fix a broken hiking pole
Duct tape and the end of a foam sleeping pad can help a too large backpack lap belt fit a too skinny Boy Scout better

Gorilla tape is what duct tape wants to be when it grows up. Like Gorilla glue on a roll.

Duct Tape is OK, but EB Green is meaner than cat ****!!

I used it to fix rain coats temporarily. That’s about all it’s good for.

I used it to get a deflated truck tire back on a rim at 2AM. Pushed tire in to seal along inner rim, used duct tape to temporarily close the gap between tire and outer rim. Add air from *big* commercial compressor (able to deliver a lot of air fast) and viola...

Just never use it on an actual duct....

While duct tape has its uses, there is something else that has great versitility...the various construction adhesives, such as Liquid Nails and competitive products. This family of products will work wonders in patching, sealing, and bonding. Water storage containers can be sealed permanently with these. Some allow wet, treated lumber to be bonded. And they are cost effective for repairs/projects that need to last.
