Thank god for Duct tape
« on: April 04, 2011, 04:56:12 PM »
Duct tape is one of the most important inventions of the 20th century.
 
During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left bait in the plane.
 
And a bear smelled it. This is what he did to the plane.
 
The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic.
 
He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME!

I never saw anything special in it. It is duct tape that is black and has the word "Gorilla" on it.

To the OP: That's just another reason to carry a few rolls with you at all times.  :aok
