What to pack: Duct tape

Updated on 11 April, 2008

Probably the most useful product in history, duct tape is easy to bring and can help you out in a bind.

If you're concerned about packing just enough for your travels, don't forget to pack some duct tape. Wrapped around itself, or a pencil, it'll come in handy a lot more often than you'd think.

For example, a small strip of duct tape can be used to keep your feet healthy: Put it on a wart to dry it out or make a blister plaster out of it. Or fix a tear in your rain cape to stay dry while on an Irish holiday.
