+1 for ecoply tape it looks like dull fabric tape and is great stuff

Another trick for carrying plastic tape like electrician's tape but about 50mm wide, the sellotape brand one is good but whatever you use, wrap about 2m of it around your bic lighter, that way you have a 2 for 1 deal

The other thing I carry that no-one else I know does is a few lengths of steelfixer's tie wire - you can buy it by the bundle at builders depots but it's easy to tie and retie without snapping
The non-galv one doesn't snap as easy as the galv

Dropped a pin out of a rifle sling mount in the Tararuas once and tie wire saved the day
