It also comes in handy on a camping or hiking trip. ( Uses for Duct Tape While Camping - ehow.com ) Maybe you could come up with some creative duct-tape ideas for geocaching swag, containers, etc.

You might have seen those cooky MythBusters tv shows on the Discovery Channel, where they make a duct-tape bridge or a boat made almost entirely out of duct-tape. No doubt this is strong stuff that can be used in a wide variety of ways!

A Tailgate net for your pick-up truck. Really? Wow!

Here's some Duck® Tape Drink Koozies


Or look at this cool Duct Tape Wallet.


Disney Family Fun (www.familyfun.go.com) has come up with some Duct Tape Hiking Gear

My solution to, "...they might still smear a little if they get wet." Maybe try spraying them with clear interior/exterior sealer enamel, like Valspar clear satin.
