Step 8 Duct Tape

Duct tape is your friend. It is used to keep the universe together. The only problem with duct tape is that it is pretty big. This is why you are going to cast it off onto a smaller soft core center.

To do this get a piece of paper (I used pink for demonstration purposes), and put the roll of duct tape on top of it. Measure how wide the roll of duct tape is and cut a strip of paper as wide as the roll is. Then twrap the paper around that good ol' bic pen. Then start wrapping duct tape around the paper. Keep on doing so until you feel you have enough. You now have compact duct tape.

you could also shove as many nails as you can in the center that way you could have more nails and not have to unroll all the ducttape

you can also wrap this stuff around your water bottle so that you never forget it

I'd use something useful as a core. Like a nail. You never know when a nail can come in handy. Tie up a lean to. Use as a post for a fishing line in hard clay. Who knows. Why waste the space on something you can't use.

yes a nail, much more compact and much more useful

To make it even easier to get to, take the wax paper back from an 8.5x11 label sheet and cut it into strips the width of your duct tape. Stick your duct tape to the wax paper side and then fold it as small as possible. Then, when you need a piece of duct tape, you're not fighting to get it unrolled -- simply peel it off of the wax paper. I usually use one label sheet and cut it into four strips. This gives me 44" that I can fold into a manageable size.
