Inspired by a post by Brad Isaac on Lifehacker, it brought to my attention that there are virtually hundreds, if not more, ways to carry duct tape. I think the key here is to make it as portable as possible, while still providing a sufficient amount of tape. If one also plans on wrapping it around something, they may as well wrap it around something useful. So without further ado, here are the top 5 ways to carry duct tape.
1. Duck Tape Key Chain
This is by far the most convenient and definitely well constructed. The one weakness would definitely be that there isn't going to be much to work with. It is basically a 1/2" wide strip of duct tape wrapped around a teflon tape dispenser. Through a chain through it and attach it to anything.
2. Debit Card
Wrap duct tape around a prepaid debit card and not only will you have a good supply of almighty duct tape, but a little back up money if you need it.
3. Straw
This is the suggested method from Lifehacker. Simply wrap duct tape around a drinking straw and trim the edges. This makes for a lightwieght and semi-colapsable duct tape doodad. It also may come in handy if you have your jaw wired shut.
4. Sharpie
This is a method I've used for hiking and camping. Simply wrap duct tape around a small Sharpie and you are prepare with an ample supply of duct tape as well as the ability to draw a mustache on your passed out buddies.
5. Da Whole Role
If you feel you need a "full role" amount of tapefull bliss, you can always soke a role of duct tape in water overnight and tear out the cardboard backing. While this isn't very portable, you may have enough tape to make an emergancy tuxedo.
