you know how things tend to happen at the most inopportune times and you're
least expecting it right well outside playing with the dogs and I got my Ghost
Whisperer when wanda jumped up and her claws snagged on my jacket we ripped a
hole in it so let's go inside we're back inside I'm gonna get this jacket fixed
up you guys are new to my channel my name is Madi welcome to Madi Oh doors I
challenge all about hiking and backpacking I'm in a hammock camping I'm
Canadian I go to some wicked places in the Rockies if that interests you
consider clicking on a subscribe button well let's get into it let's get this
hold my jacket fake stuff cuz this is driving me nuts first thing I'm gonna
take my jacket off a little close up a lovely hole that Wanda has caused in my
jacket awesome so first thing I'm gonna do is I
want to get that down pushed back inside before I actually patch it so what I'm
going to use is I'm just gonna use one of my titanium Sheppard hook tent stakes
this is honestly this is how I have fixed my jacket in the field a couple
times I've had issues like this before happened so I'm just gonna use that to
basically just to push the down inside kind of like I'm trying to push it in
away from the hole so that when I put the patch on the patch is gonna stick to
the fabric and not the down all right you got that now we grab our tenacious
tape and to fix up my jacket we're gonna use gear aid tenacious tape this is the
clear version this stuff is basically just uh it's kind of just an all-purpose
nylon repair tape works really good for any of your technical fabrics you pick
this stuff up on Amazon whatever I'll put some links in the description down
below for you guys so what I'm gonna do it's basically gonna take this cut off a
square we're gonna patch a jacket with that there's a little square tenacious
tape let's get the jacket out past this alright so we got the jacket down and if
you can see a little hole is right here and also will tough to see in the black
fabric button
so we've got all the down pushed inside it's all I'm going to do is take my
little strip of tenacious tape peel the backing piece off literally just slap
this guy right over top of that hole press it on there there it is it is new
now you can see it when it's up close but like honestly to me I personally
don't really care this is a backpacking jacket I mean I wear this thing I would
devote all the time but I personally don't care if there's patches on it I
know if you really really wanted to and you really cared you could trim up the
edges on this and make it a nicer little patch but I have found in my experience
having a little bit more surface area on the outside of the hole helps this stuff
stay on more I have had this stuff peel off if you don't have enough covering
the hole I know some people like to cut this out like it's just like a perfect
little circle to cover the hole with like you know a millimeter of coverage
around the edge and it looks nice but it does not hold so you want to make sure
you've got enough coverage on the outside of this thing so there it is
guys and gals patching up technical fabrics
it's how I pack up my Ghost Whisperer jacket I mean you guys see the sleeves
on this thing I got a couple patches all over the place I have I blown holes in
this thing a couple times over the years it happens this tenacious tape stuff
also fantastic for patching any of your technical fabrics it's good for patching
up packs I mean I know you can patch hammocks and stuff with this kind of
with this stuff I know people patch tarps with this this stuff is fantastic
to have in my first-aid kit I carry a little chunk of this that's about that
long you know like a little I don't know but 3x3 kind of square of this stuff
just for if I have any field repairs to do and then this is just the leftover
that I keep it home for doing any kind of patches I can do at home so uh I'll
put a link in the description box down below for you guys if you guys are
interested in grabbing some tenacious tape for yourself I do highly recommend
it it's super cheap super effective like the the patch on this jacket alone is
gonna last longer than the jacket material itself so you know if you guys
are worried about picking up some of these higher-end jackets with the the
more delicate UL fabrics grab yourself a little bit of tenacious tape know you're
gonna be able to patch it sleeping bags jack is packs whatever you
need to with this stuff fantastic to have so if you guys thought if you guys
found value in this video a special thumbs up let me know you have any
questions put them in the comment section down below I would love to help
you guys out if I can and there's always guys I Hammadi thank you guys so much
