[pct-l] Tape with a Thousand Uses

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

Say, here is something very cool.  Go to  REI.com and their Quick Tape - 
Heavy-Duty Recreational  $12.50 - Item 618740.  This super light hook and  loop 
tape is great for:
1.  Attaching your handsfree umbrella/foam  tube holder to your pack shoulder 
strap.
2.  Reinforcing your TI tent stake  when the wind is going to really pick up 
around camp.  I usually just take  a big rock and put a cord or this type of 
tape around it to help the stake  hold better. Peace of mind stuff in my tent 
later.
3.  Compress items in your  pack.
4.  Super light weight belt.  I use  it for my GossamerGear.com rain chaps.
5.  Hanging things.
6.  Etc., etc., etc.
 
There is an even a lighter recreational version  too that is not as wide.
 
Happy trails, Switchback
