[pct-l] A backpackers best friend

[Reinhold Metzger]

Hi gang,
The following story and pictures demonstrate the versatility and 
multi-use of duct tape and
are undeniable, undisputable proof that duct tape is a backpackers best 
friend.
I know some of you  will say a "hiker babe" is a backpacker's best friend.
But duct tape can do so many more things for you that a "hiker babe" 
could never do.
Don't get me wrong, "hiker babes" come in handy, but they are not 
multi-use like duct tape.

I feel  "so" contend in my UL sleeping bag with a roll of duct tape at 
my side. 

Well, got to go now, I'm off to the Sierra for another week of skiing.
There is nothing like a week of skiing to make those legs all rubbery.
Hopefully, by the end of the ski season and by the beginning of the 
hiking season,
all that rubber will be converted into solid steel.
