Okay folks, the following comes to me in an Email so disclaimer up-front: I cannot vouch for the accuracy, but the story and photos are just too good not to pass along to you. Certainly sounds plausible to me.
It seems some fishermen were on a private “fly-in” fishing trip somewhere in the wilds of Alaska when they made the mistake in judgment of leaving a cooler and bait in the plane while away fishing. During their absence, here’s what happened to their plane courtesy of a bear:
The story goes on—apparently the pilot used the plane’s radio to contact another pilot who eventually rescued them with 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. Thanks to the wonderful “fix-it” properties of Duct Tape, they were able to repair the plane sufficiently to fly it back home.

So, tell me…doesn’t this story just urge you to purchase another roll or two the next time you’re out shopping?

Seems plausible to me too. The only thing that seems a little off-base is the that the bear would go after the tires. Nice job with the duct tape though
Nice job Mr.Jim Braaten,but I want to ask duct tape really helps these much???It is just amazing and just can’t believe it!!
