Today, I was hiking, and four miles away from my car and civilization, I tripped over a rock into a cactus. I used duct tape, which ripped all the hair off my arms and legs but ignored the spikes. FML

I'm a bit confused on why you just didn't take the needles out by hand. Sure, it's slower and a bit more painful, but at this point, it really doesn't matter how much pain you're going to get.

Duct tape to remove cactus thorns? What a rip off.

use wax. duct tape doesn't grip the spines properly, but wax will. it will ALSO remove the hair, but you won't look like a porcupine anymore.

But I thought duct tape fixed everything! ;D

I guess duct tape CAN'T fix everything :/

If ur going hiking always carry a multi-tool they have pliers

Always keep a little thing of rubber cement with you hiking. It works best for hands, but will be sure to take out the thorns
