I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I’m curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

    I used these a bunch in some jungle training. Any petroleum based jellies worked great, so we used bacitracin packets as our additive.

    Fun fact: dead bamboo will always be dry in the middle between two joints. You can split it up into a couple thin pieces and it makes great kindling.

    Live bamboo will create a small pressure bomb.

      Another fun fact for if you’re in a deciduous forest, beach tree bark will always light, even when wet. It contains a flammable oil.

          You don’t have to peel bark from a live tree… There are usually plenty lying around in a forest like that. So no it’s not really.
