Opps. It was a reasonable assumption that the duct tape we used during our simulated on water patch session came from the naval shipyard. However I was wrong. The tape in question was purchased at a local hardware store. Unfortunately since the cardboard core was removed, so that the tape could be flatted and stuffed into a PFD pocket, we've no way of telling what the brand was. Doug is spot on regarding the Lee Valley article about duct tape. I would go so far as recommending anyone who wants better quality duct tape go on line and order some from LV. I have no association with the company, other then the fact I spend far too much of my disposable income there. I'm considering a test of the US governments recommendation for duct tape. I propose half the people on Paddlewise eat beans for a week, then tape themselves into a room. Have your surviving family members report the results. The other half of the Paddlewise community should benifit.
