The authentic military version of duct tape is called "hundred mile an hour tape" (No. I don't know why it's called that) and an authentic military backpack is most likely a rucksack.
No, he just carries regular inane shit like duct tape and large clips. *shrug*. But the backpack, or
rucksack is authentic military surplus, and it is, in fact, a rather nice backpack. Pretty large for anything you might actually need to carry to school, but he keeps it loaded (the man carries his laptop to school for no real reason - I've literally seen him pull it out and play Half-Life 2 at lunch) with a bunch of stuff and it's really effective at weight distribution.
The thing is, not only is he that guy, but he's a genuinely odd character. He's a highly outspoken brony and a good 85% of the things that come out of his mouth are extraordinarily outlandish, and must not be taken seriously.

In the U.S. submarine fleet, an adhesive cloth tape is called "EB Green," as the duct tape used by Electric Boat was green. It is also called "duck tape," "riggers' tape," "hurricane tape," or "100-mph tape"—a name that comes from the use of a specific variety of duct tape that was supposed to hold up to 100 miles per hour (160 km/h; 87 kn) winds. The tape is named so because it was used during the Vietnam War to repair helicopter rotor blades, thus earning the name 100-MPH tape. Duct tape was also used during the Vietnam War to balance helicopter rotor blades.
