Hi Leo,
Good idea taking the blank tape. In the case of film after learning the 
unfortunate thing of arriving on the assignment with a case full of gear and 
1 roll of film a couple of times, it became a habit to always have a roll in 
my pocket. Even on occasions when I didn't have a camera there was a roll of 
film in a pocket just as though it were money change. It surely saved my 
butt a few times only because I ran out of film and required one more 
roll.:-)

Actually bailed a couple of other shooters out by having it and they'd run 
out. In other words "Don't leave home without it!" ;-)
