I have a book with “extraordinary uses for ordinary things” duct tape has 43 things listed for uses so while showed 10 items for emergency preparedness there are always a lot more thanks
Good information As a side note: When marking trails, place the duct tape (or any preferred material) on both sides of the tree so you can follow same path back. And, any reference to duct tape should also mention the Mythbusters TV show!!
Although often considered as a joke, duct tape is 1 out of 2 things engineers liked. If something shouldn't be moving, but it is, use duct tape. The other way around, is if something should be moving, but it didn't, use WD-40
Duct tape, zip ties, aluminum foil, heavy mil trash bags, jb weld, a metal coat hanger, wd 40, and baling wire or twine are all the tools you need to MacGyver your way out of most situations.... bring a bic lighter too! 🔥
Regarding duct tape for patching clothing and tarps/tents, use the tape as a patch for both the interior and exterior, then use your mini sewing kit to permanently fix the patch in place. Then you dont need to worry about the tape losing its stickiness over time due to moisture or dirt. Also, you can use two pieces of tape with raised seams plus your sewing kit to mimic sutures if you have a larger cut. This process will keep the wound closed a lot better than just tape and bandages, and its obvious better and has lower risk of infection than actually trying to suture your skin in the field.

Another would be a duck tape sling, you could also put that sling on a poll and increase the distance and force of the duck tape sling, you can use it for both hunting and self defense from a distance but with any one thing practice makes perfect....
Going to attempt to make a wash basin using a large pot for the template. Maybe 12 inches across and 6 inches tall that I can fold flat. Going to use your cup method for this project. Thanks for the idea.
Excellent, just the cup alone, nevermind all the other awesome uses. you’re one of the bright ones. unlike most you got a brain with some actual processing power 😼👍 Good ive found you
If you apply a bandaid to a cut, a small piece of duct tape will keep it secure while working, (if you wrap all the way around, don't cut of the circulation). If you have a hole in your glove fingertips, you can repair it. Shoe falling apart, quick temporary fix. Seal flashlights. Keep some on a used up gift card in your pocket. Used it to adhere notes to damaged equipment, steering wheels, etc. Used it to hold a printer door shut. Etc.
I am an advid camp/kayaker. I use Gorilla tape for patching my kayak if I hit a rock in the rapids and it makes a hole...I have used duct tape to repair a tarp over my tent in windy/raining conditions...when my paddle broke in the middle of an 80 mile kayaking trek, I used the tape to repair the paddle so that I could continue with my journey.
Shoes. Duct tape can extend the life of shoes that might otherwise fall apart too soon. If stores aren't selling, making whatever footwear you have last longer could be helpful.
i don't see the genius ideas..the 10 things you showed were litterally the mains uses of ducktapes,using ducktape as it should be used is far from genius
Absolutely great vid bro 👍 And you are right it can be used for anything and everything. You mention at the start of the vid that you could probably do a whole series on duct tape alone. You are definitely right so some more duct tape related vids could be the way to go?
8:10 It's fine to use anything that is sterile in place of gauze. Don't just assume that something is sterile though, soak it in 71% alcohol or something.

@@lucyalderman422 thanks!
Did you like the book?
Maybe not survival item but my daughter made a duct tape wallet when she was in middle school...It was pretty cool
Nice one!
Good information

Generally one should not put the duct tape all the way around a limb to avoid the tourniquet effect.
duct tape is flammable so it can be a firestarter
I have used duct tape to fix a hole in a radiator a few times. Yes, it still leaked a little. But I got home.
Duct tape works well for starting fires. Roll some into a ball or around thin shavings.

Didn't mythbusters make a boat out of duct tape ?
Are you saying I need to up my game?🤣
So did fowler
I"ve made sandals for a kid who couldn't find there shoes with it.
haha good idea!
Used gun cleaning pads and ducttape to bandage a wound under a national guard exercise. Worked like a charm.

I wouldn't support the duck tape condom 🤣🤣

i wrapped around one meter of duct tape around a pencil. it's my invention
Where in Md. ? I'm from Annapolis. and thanks for another good informative vid.
I'm real close to Annapolis!
Ducktape hat, use 2 twigs for the bill fold a strip thats the size of your head and go from there till you have what u want...
Great idea! Maybe I'll use that in another video.
As an emt..I've used duck tape and cardboard as a leg splint
Thank you
Ive been made fun of for tucking my pants in my boots because of ticks, i can only imagine if i used ducktape lol

If you had a bottle or cup to shape your duct tape cup then you wouldn't need to make a duct tape cup ???m
a wallet
If you have a water bottle, why would you need to make a cup?
Transport dirty water? Container for food or other supplies? Looks cool?
To keep things sanitary as possible.
Genius uses? More like extremely poor planning if you need to use any of these.
Speaking of tape ..duct ..isn't there other color? Black white pink green ,ECT?
Yes even camo.
