Cover Up Blisters

You should always take a roll of duct tape with you when you're out on the trail or off camping. It's just too handy not to have with you and here's a good example of how it can save you a lot of pain. If you get a blister while hiking, a band-aid isn't really going to help as your shoes are just going to rub the band-aid off your feet and expose your blister.

Instead, cover your blister up with some duct tape. It'll stay on and keep your blister from getting worse. You can also just use duct tape as a preventive measure if you're worried about your shoes rubbing up against your heel.
