[pct-l] Duct tape for blisters

You can buy small packets of Duct tape from Anti-Gravity Gear. We wrap a foot or so around a hiking pole.

Thanks for the nudge... I did a google on "duct tape hiking blisters" and 
got a zillion hits - one being pcta.org - read there and yup, duct tape or 
medical tape..  the question then becomes: how does one carry it? A medical 
tape roll can be trimmed/stripped down to what one might need for a trip... 
but duct tape, even if one were to strip down the roll to what one might 
need, will still have a cardboard core, which weighs non-zero and takes 
space - do people maybe wrap what they might need around a water bottle 
(being a surface that it's not going to stick to terminally), and remove it 
from there as needed?? Or??
