I have always claimed - and not altogether jokingly - that you could build a house with Elmer’s glue and Duct Tape. Both items are readily available, relatively inexpensive and easy to tote around. I will set aside the Elmer’s for another time, though.
Today, I thought it would be fun to look as some of the practical uses of duct tape around the house, camping and of course, in a survival situation.
