    Thumbs up New cheap hammock and tarp courtesy of the Mythbusters

    One of our families favorite shows is Mythbusters. The new season is coming up and starts with Duct Tape Island to continue to explore the uses of that magical tool. Have a look at the set of hammocks and covers that they put together with Duct Tape.

    Cool design & set up.

    Last season, they stripped the factory fabric covering from the body of a Cessna style airplane. Then repaired it by recovering the bare frame with Duct Tape, and had a test pilot successfully fly it. Tough stuff!
