I don't actually DO the duct tape gaiter thing, but I have seen it and
it does work, although it makes you look like you learned gear

Zip ties, duct tape, suicide clips, bondage, quick releases and
anythink pink.

Incidentally, anyone currently using pink duct tape to hold together
broken zip ties - contact Bill Stone for job opening.
