So now is the time to start learning some stuff. I'm really quite shocked that a lighter is top of the poll. They won't get far without clean water. But with fire one can distill water . . .

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22269280 Why??? i use both for work electical tape has bindng/lashing properties you just cant get with duct tape. also duct tape does not seem to last as long as good electrical tape in a long term storage scenario dont get me wrong duct tape is great but lets say you want to fix a water line with pressure on it you will never be able to wrap enough duct tape around it to stop the leak but there is a very good chance you could with electrical tape. try this little experiment BUT DONT LEAVE IT ON YOUR FINGER TO LONG OR YOU WILL KILL YOUR FINGER FOR THE KDDIES AND IDIOTS HERE. try wrapping duct tape then electrical tape around your finger (one at a time)you will get an idea for the greater bindng abilty od electrical tape. just my 2cent and dont blame me if you leave it on so long your finger goes blue then drops off. also there is many grades of electrical piss poor bloody good and the HD shit NASA uses aim for bloody good and above |
