Mythbusters Duct Tape
The
MythBusters have done it again, coming up with even more
uses for surviving with duct tape. First they survive on an island with just
duct tape to make the necessary tools to get off, and now they have gone to the
canyon lands to truly push duct tape to its limits. Using only duct tape
JamieHyneman and
Adam Savage managed to repel off a 100 plus foot cliff with a rope
twisted together by this incredible tape and then built a raft and floated down
the mighty Colorado River. They did however have the added use of bubble wrap
which gave them the needed buoyancy to float above the water.
Ultimate Survival Item
The MythBusters has proven that duct tape is
the ultimate item for your survival pack or any emergency kit for that matter.
With a few rolls of this stuff, your imagination on what you can make is your
only limit. In my mind duct tape is a "Must Have" item in all my
survival kits. If you don't have a roll of duct tape in your kit, then the day
just might come when you’re going to "Wish" you could make that very
important survival tool you would have easily made had you done so.

By far the coolest thing I have ever seen
anybody build was the
Duct Tape Canoe on the Mythbusters Show. The
canoe was built in the second duct tape episode which they expanded on the many
uses of what’s possible. The Mythbusters used rolls of bubble wrap and duct
tape to create a canoe type flotation device to go over some really bad rapids
on the river. Before I seen this episode of Mythbusters, I would of never
thought you could make a flotation device that could go over rapids like those
with bubble wrap and duct tape.
Duct Tape Trend
The Mythbusters have got everybody's mind on
duct tape and its endless uses for survival .Hey maybe
Nik Wallenda can walk a
duct tape rope next, just kidding. I believe duct tape truly has unlimited uses
in survival and just plain old life. I can’t wait to see what the Mythbusters
come up with next because I sure it will be amazing.

Duct Tape Rope
As far as duct tape rope goes I would not trust
my life or any other life on a piece of duct tape. The Mythbusters more than
likely did a lot of tests on how many pieces of duct tape it would take to hold
that much weight. So don't thing you can go out there in repelled down a cliff
with just a duct tape rope.
