First Online Gear Repair Guide
Posted on Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
We would all like to think we are Macgyver in the backcountry, but do you really know what to do when you get a leak in your waders in the middle of the river, or lay down in your tent to find you have a hole in your sleeping pad? The tiniest Do-It-Yourself tips can make all the difference in creating a successful trip or a gear nightmare.
McNett, the industry leader in gear care and repair products has just published a first-of-its-kind resource for gear junkies who are looking to repair gear for upcoming summer trips, or learn how to maintain gear so it lasts season through season.
Everything from how to properly wash a sleeping bag, re-waterproof a jacket, to fixing leaks and tears, to cleaning climbing ropes and repairing worn footwear is included in the Repair Guide.
Once you master these gear tricks, you can move on to more traditional Macgyver skills like building a working motor out of a paper clip, a piece of bubble gum and a rubber band.
