Got Duct Tape? Here’s a Book For You! Duct Tape 911

I love duct tape as a tool for every day use and survival.  There are so many great ways that it can be used in addition to all the cute crafty things that can be made from it.  You probably already have some duct tape at your house or in your emergency kit.  But did you know duct tape also has a variety of medical uses?  I recently got to read a new book by Dr. James Hubbard The Survival Doctor titled Duct Tape 911: The Many Amazing Medical Things You Can Do to Tape Yourself Together and wow!  There are more medical uses for duct tape than I had realized.

Dr. Hubbard shares 23 different medical uses for duct tape (actually more since there are variations within some of the uses) ranging from an ankle brace to pinhole glasses to a CPR mouth barrier.  You can even remove a stuck-on ring using duct tape!  And the book is full of simple illustrations demonstrating each medical use for duct tape so you can’t mess this up!  There are pictures!  Of course he offers sound medical advice, like getting to a real doctor if things are bad, but these duct tape fixes will sure hold you together if there isn’t a doctor around.

Duct Tape 911 is not too long–only about 100 pages and easy to read.  Lightweight enough to pack in your emergency kit or keep a copy in your car or first aid supplies.  I really enjoyed this book and had my eyes opened to some new ways to use the tape that holds the world together.  My husband also loved it!  This book would make a great gift for the dads in your life as well as anyone interested in hiking, backpacking, camping, survival, duct tape, or getting out in the outdoors.  Pick up your copy at Amazon or from The Survival Doctor’s site.  And in case you missed it, I interviewed Dr. Hubbard on my podcast this week, so go have a listen!

Keep preparing!
