I tried mending a ripped tent seam with beeswax and a hot spoon instead of tape.
It held through a whole weekend of rain in the Smokies, and now I'm wondering what other gear can be fixed with stuff from the kitchen.

Your "gear repair closet" idea shows how we're all just quietly jury-rigging modern life.

That beeswax trick is LEGIT. I fixed a busted backpack strap with a strip cut from a milk jug and a lighter to melt the edges smooth. A wine cork can sharpen a knife in a pinch, and I've patched a hole in a pot cozy with aluminum foil and packing tape. The kitchen is basically a gear repair closet.
