I was wondering how everyone here that keeps duct tape in their packs stores it? Do you bring an entire roll, or only some if it? If only some how much do you take? Do you keep it folded up, or on the roll, etc.? Im just looking for an easier more compact way to store duct tape. Thanks!

I just keep the whole roll in my bug out bag. It doesn't take up much space at all, and I would rather use the whole roll than mess around with folding it up.

Whole roll to big and heavy, I have a 1/4 roll wraped around a pencil.

I will agree that a whole roll of duct tape is too big, I just wrap it on itself, and fold it thin. I only pack about 10 feet of it.

I've got a small roll...It's about the size of a 35mm film canister. maybe 30ft of it in the roll. I also carry a small roll of Gorilla tape...It's a little bigger in size...I don't have it wrapped around anything...just as is...

You can buy duct tape in smaller rolls to fit in the smaller survival kits.
