Could You Really Escape A Canyon Using Only Duct Tape? | MythBusters

MythBusters — S11 E8 "Duct Tape Canyon" — Aired June 19, 2013 Adam and Jamie were dropped in a remote desert canyon with nothing but duct tape and bubble wrap and tasked with surviving the full journey out — using tape to build sun shelter and water collection systems in the scorching desert heat, fashioning a full rappelling harness and rope to descend a sheer canyon cliff face, and finally engineering a raft capable of carrying both of them through Class 5 rapids at the canyon's base, with world-famous tightrope walker Nik Wallenda showing up to demonstrate his own entirely different approach to the canyon crossing problem, because MythBusters never limits a survival challenge to just one solution when a man who has walked a tightrope over Niagara Falls has opinions about how to get across.

From the Diet Coke & Mentos explosion to surviving an underwater car escape — if it can be tested, they'll test it. #MythBusters #AdamSavage #ScienceExperiments
