Everyone knows that the universal fixit is duct tape (or duck tape, if you prefer). I thought it would be fun to see what the ExPo community has repaired with duct tape. So, post up your repairs and describe their longevity.
I've repaired some tent poles with duct tape and a piece of aluminum cut from a soda can. Unfortunately for this thread, I replaced the tent and don't have a picture of it.
I'll start with something from around the house...
Not exactly a mobile part of my "Alpine Tundra" expedition rig (read: mostly daily driver), but I work on it at night under these lights if the mosquitos in Houston are not too bad. Shortly after we purchased this $25-50 halogen light setup from either Sam's Club, Builder's Square or Home Depot about 12 years ago, the darned thing snapped off in the middle. I found a piece of cabinet stock and splinted it with duct tape. It has held ever since.
I'm looking forward to seeing the creative solutions that our resident "Bush Mechanics" have used the universal fixit for.
