I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and you taking the time to make them. I have learned alot from them, some stuff I already knew but some things was like 'ah ha' moments. Keep up the good work and informing folks how easy it would be to take care of them selves in an emergency and camping situation.

You mentioned hot fluids in that disposable container... HUGE MISTAKE! Very few disposable bottles are 100% BPA free and the majority that aren't can, and do, leech harmful chemicals with heat. just spend a few bucks and get a Nalgene bottle or any other that ARE 100% BPA free and since these also (almost) always have fluid measurement markings, problem solved and no risk of harmful chemical exposure just to save a few dollars. Not to mention the tendency of tapes to move around and leave a sticky gooey mess behind if they get hot.

It's not good using a normal PET bottle for refilling. The plastic it's made of degrades faster and compromises the water's quality. Even more so in hot weather.

I love duct tape. I remember the original 1980s Macgyver TV show where he used duct tape in some situations, and mentioned how useful it was. That and Swiss Army knives (which I love too).

This is one of those tips that is so simple, yet so great it makes one wonder, "Why didn't i think of that?" Thanks for sharing!

About the only thing most people don't use Duct Tape for is taping Ducts together.

duct tape placement, brilliant! So much better than rolling it around my arm : )

Easy tip, an easy prep for the trail you know the food your taking so no thought has to go in when tired or hungry also allows for easy brew up in a group one puts up shelter the other presto two cups of brew with no thought, cheers Happy trails

Guerrilla Tape! Great tip. Now I have yet another use.

Thanks for advocating recycling these Gatorade plastic bottles.

John, thanks for your channel...and all the great content. Informative...entertaining. Oh, and Kado is the BEST. Keep doing what you do.

Like you said... Simple tip but incredibly useful. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your new collaboration with Sierra! Peace, Shane

Great tip. This will sure come in handy.

Fantastic video and tip. Very much appreciated.

like your videos, great job, learn alot to use while camping, thanks

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful Stuff John.. Definitely a clever adjustment to the trusty duct tape dispenser.. Can never have enough of the sticky stuff. :-) Great seeing you my friend!

Great tip! And its an excellent fire starter as well. Thanks for sharing!

You mean to tell me there is more than one use for duct tape? Wow! Where have I been!

Great tip - thanks!! 👍

Always useful things, thoughts, techniques and gizmos...keep up the good work.

Woah! Two videos today! This is so intense! XDXDXD First comment and all that stuff, you are amazing! And as always, I will see you on a trail!

To be honest John, STP has some cool videos, but a lot of them I don't care that much for. Your content is more on the side of what I want to see. But keep it up!

Thanks so much for the great idea.

Yep, that was a good tip. You're right, who knew the placement of the tape could be as useful as just having the tape. Already sub'd to both channels, thanks for all the great tips...

Cool little tip I'm gonna use this around camp

Love the idea. I will have to try it.

I have a nice metal waterproof flashlight that I wrapped duct tape for 2 reasons: 1) better grip 2) for those time you have to use your mouth as a spare hand it is easier to hold with your teeth. It may sound gross but you know we all have been there. Thanks for the water bottle tip.

Thanks for the tip, and sweet necklace.

Great tip john !

John, thanks for sharing with us an excellent tip. By the way, how is the dog you took on some of your hikes? Dee

Great idea to make it more useful on the water bottle.

Saw a video comments where people were complaining about nasty duct tape on water bottles. Never tried it yet.

That's cool, but I think I would mark 2 cups from the bottom as well in case I had to drink some on the way, I would also know where to stop. Plus, I would not put hot liquids in a plastic bottle for consumption purposes. Crap leaches out of that plastic.

Kool...good idea.

Measure two cups from the bottom of your water bottle. Then, you can drink from the top if you need to. You may also run out of water and you will only need to find 2 additional cups of water to get your measurement, instead of a full bottle minus the top part.

That was a realy neat tip thanks for sharing atb john

Great tip!

So nice man!

*Classic silver duct tape optional. :) - Chris

Dude, I thought you swiped my power-ade bottle with the black duct tape! I prefer the other brand's taste, but I hate the orange lids. Love your videos!

Very handy, Thanks

can you do a video on how to tie the Canadian Jam knot?

I love those water bottles, they are durable, about one third the weight of a nalgene water bottle and much less expensive. When the bottle begins to show wear just drop it in a recycle bin and buy another, usually for less than $1.00, and they come pre-filled with a tasty beverage. :-p

thanks again sir !!

Hi, unrelated comment, but I'll ask anyways. What kind of camera or cell did you use for this video? It's razor sharp?

Good idea thanks a lot

Hey buddy! Excellent recommendation there!

Cool tip for duct tape!

Simple and useful.

Thanks for the tip!

Cool video great tip thank you

Congrats on the collaboration!

1:07 to 1:08, where they're both looking to the sky and everything looks yellowish.. where is that? Its stunning.

I'm enjoying watching your videos and they're filled with great content, but I wish the titles for some of them -- like this one -- were less vague so I could know if it would be useful to me (this one in particular isn't) before waiting for the video to buffer and watching it.

Good simple idea, however not sure if I want to put hot liquids in a plastic bottle that can leach any BPA chemicals into your water, unless it is a emergency to hydrate yourself.

very clever!

Clever use. I use ducktape to make can or bottle Koosies. You can make them any size to fit any bottle or can, use velcro to make them adjustable too. Come check out my craft channel if you like: Thanks.

So cool...

Yup. A nice simple trick.

Great idea, but as far as the insulation part... if the liquid inside the bottle is hot enough to burn you, then it's too hot for that bottle. A typical plastic bottle like that cannot withstand the heat that our hands can.

Wow, you are some kind of sorcerer

Great tip

are u still doing tip of the week vids

A nice wittle twip!...lol.

Cool!

good stuff ty

Good idea ! Enjoy .... The Simple Life

Watch the red and green show for funny duct tape tips! ;)

Who was the big guest,did I miss something or somebody “A”

Unbelievable, you should have been on blue peter

hot drink in plastic bottle ? o.O

Every body knows that

I could use a sharpie...

Wtf just draw a line on the bottle

duck tape is a cure all lol

Same with a plastic bag and a permanent marker

...or you should just use a sharpie...

CAUTION! MOST Duct Tape, is CRAP, & NOT what the Pro HVAC guys use. Look for the better stuff and or Gorilla Tape. TOUGH Stuff. (47 yrs Service tech, US Navy Mechanic, etc. Life long Camper etc. & DIY-er)

That's the worst trick I've ever seen.
