I'm confused - do we tape the truck doors from the inside or have someone else tape us in from the outside? You didn't think I'd let Fearless go thru this alone now - did you? LOL!

If you own a truck, isn't it a requirement to have a roll of duct tape in it?

If your a guy it's requirement to own duct tape. You can fix anything with duct tape. I remember when I was on an aircraft carrier they would use duct tape on them multi-million dollor F-18's to tape up panels etc. If it works at mach 2 and above then you know its "damn good".

If people think they are going to stop biological or nerve agents or whatever with plastic and duct tape they are being sadly mislead. If we do get hit with this stuff they might be able to use it to tape a sign in their window that says, "Help I've fallen and I am doing the funky chicken on the ground and I can't get up!!" Reminds me of Y2K when everyone bought a gun or when the other threats came up and everyone bought gas masks. You can't carry that stuff everywhere!! Cmon kids were going to see Harry Potter, don't forget your milk duds and your chemical warfare gear!! Sorry, had to vent!! They have pretty much already won by stirring up all this paranoia. Who makes duct tape by they way? Is it 3M?? I need to buy some stocks!!

Duct tape can fix anything! Don't forget it. I've driven home with duct tape holding pieces on.

so much for NASCAR's 200 mph duct tape, I gotta get me some US NAvy Mach 2 duct tape!
duct tape and bailing wire can fix anything!

how long do you think you could survive in a room that was relatively air tight? After a several hours with no fresh air getting in, the carbon dioxide levels from resperiation would become lethal. Whowever was in the room would start getting very sleepy - and then never wake up. It better be a damn big room to survive in for 3 days

I think the duct tape is for taping the mouths shut of paranoid people screaming. The plastic is to bury those people that got an over-zealous helping of duct tape.

First put a window down, then tape the truck from the out side, climb in the window & roll it back up.
