Essential Gear Repair Tips

A while back, we listed the various trip-saving qualities of duct tape. Imagine my joy in discovering this little manual:


The author, Kristin Hostetter, writes for Backpacker magazine and has compiled everything you need to know about gear repair into a pocket-sized companion. If you’ve ever wondered how to trouble shoot your broken stove or what to do if your jacket zipper has lost its…zip, I recommend picking up this book. Other topics include fabric, zippers, boots, packs, tents, sleeping bags/pads, stoves, water filters, cookware and hydration systems. She also delves even further into all that can be done with our Hardware store favorite-the duct tape!
