The New Duct Tape

So duct tape fixes everything, right? Well, they did work to keep my Adissages usable for a while, but finally, that gave out, and I needed a better solution. Why not just buy a new pair? While they're well worn, they've still got life to them and have that worn-in, comfy feel. One more try before I chuck them! Well, I discovered I could really fix my Adisages with 2 short nails in the side (where it broke). The nails were just sitting around from the roofing work which prompted the idea in the first place. It took all of 5 seconds to shove them in the side and try them out. So far, good as new! Should all survival kits not only include duct tape but a handful of nails too? ;D The next discovery: how long will it last?
