It occurred to me last week, as I was traveling through Bosnia, that more than one person has asked me about some of the tools I use for “the road.” I thought I’d just go ahead and do a series on some of the tools that have become dear to me over the past nearly-30 years. Some of these are fairly personal, I guess, in that not everyone would appreciate them. But others are just some kind of “hack” that I’ve found to “beat the system” for a particular problem or challenge I was facing. So… as long as you realize I’m just a fellow struggler (“one beggar telling another where to buy bread”; I’m confident we *all* have found certain principles or “hacks”; you probably have just as many.), here’s a new series on “Tools for the road.”
Greetings from Jacksonville! I’ve found it helpful to have duct tape
with me when I travel but it’s a bit bulky to travel with an entire
roll. Here’s what I do: unroll a couple feet and then re-roll it onto
the end of a pen or pencil. It’s usually enough to get me by but not
enough to weigh me down.
Thanks for all you do- rt
