I was walking with someone yesterday and told him about my trip. Duct tape, he said. Excuse me? He was referring to the adventure racer's practice of covering blisters with duct tape (if you're interested in this kind of information, I heartily recommend tracking down the Eco-Challenge series). I hadn't really framed the Inca Trail as an adventure race but after a sudden vision of myself battling up Dead Woman's Pass, exhausted and sore, I could see the parallels.
So added to the latest version of the packing list (which is version 5.6, if I remember correctly) will be one smallish roll of duct tape... just in case.
