Blister prevention. I have an area on the back of my heel that seems to blister easily. So I just tape it before the hike, why wait for the blister?

Wonder's list #6! My son made a really nifty wallet out of duct tape. Used it for 3 years. It's nice because no one suspects it's a wallet, so little chance for money/cards to get stolen. I'll try and dig up a pic of it.
think I'll go for a walk outside now...
Hikers that talk too much!!!
Just kidding.....
Works great on hiking boots. My son had a blow out last year and had to do the last 30 miles with duct taped boots. Worked like a charm.....plus it made for great pictures.

That's easy. It's no good for taping ducts.

Great for sealing all body orfices including ears, nose, belly button and plumbers crack, during blk fly season in Maine. Great for re-sealing beer cans on second day out from resupply.
in place of boots or footwear, just tape your feet up so they dont get all calloused, etc!!
Snoring stopper
taped my foot to my chaco(or taped my chaco to my foot)the main strap broke on my chaco.(2003 thruhike)around n.h. and maine state line. i bought a big roll of duct tape, in stratton.i would wrap the tape over my foot and all the way around the chaco on the sole. i would have to retape a couple times a day where the tape was cutting on rocks, and such. and always rewrapping every morning, all the way to big k. i'm always broke at the end of hikes(either doing something very wrong or very rite)so new shoes were out of the question.
