A roll of black cloth gaffer tape.

BS-754

Worth packing

Black gaffer tape

Burning Man camp gear

Cloth tape that holds and comes off without leaving gum in the dust.

Why it's on the list

Duct tape leaves gum in the dust. Cloth gaffer, two inches, black, grabs fabric, marks a cable, and comes off. Keep the roll in a bag. If a structure needs tape to stay standing, it needs a rebuild.

How we use it

The roll lives in the repair bin with zip ties, a multitool, and a few feet of paracord. Dust on the sticky side ends the roll. Keep it in a zip bag.

Heads up

Tape is not shade hardware. If a structure needs tape to stay up, it needs a rebuild, not another wrap.

Black gaffer tape

A real roll is often $15–25
