I went camping a few years ago with some buds and it was pouring rain all night.
I was soaking wet and could not wait to get into my dry tent, put on some dry clothes and sleep on my brand new queen sized air mattress.

Well i finally got into my dry tent and put on dry clothes then i accidentally tipped my Coleman lantern onto my brand new air mattress and burned a giant hole in it.
I was freaking out pissed!

Then i realized i had Marks roll of duct tape in the tent i had used to fix a small hole in the floor earlier that day.
Well, i then spent around a half hour Duct taping the gapping hole then blew it up again.
Ya know what? it held all night, the mattress was a bit lower in the morning but i was still off the ground.

Red Green was right, Duct tape IS the handy man’s secret weapon.

Great story. I have taped my pant legs to my boots with duct tape. This will helped from getting bites from ticks, flies, and mosquitoes.
