Quite often
survival is a simple process of utilizing all of your resources to provide
solution to your problems. We can often fail to utilize everyday things that
could make a big difference in whether or not we succeed or fail in that
process. There are few things that will give you a more positive feeling about
your chances for survival than the sweet smell of success.
One of the
main things that may be required in a survival situation is the ability to
start a fire. What we fail to sometimes realize is that we may be carrying
exactly what we need to reach a successful goal. In simple terms, a fire will
require fuel as a basic component and we may already be carrying a fuel source
without even realizing it.
Perfume or
aftershave has alcohol as a significant constituent of their ingredients.
Alcohol also makes an excellent source of fuel when you need to start a fire.
It only takes a few drops of aftershave or perfume to make your firestarting
efforts a success even if you don’t have a significant amount of tinder
available.
While most
guys don’t carry aftershave in their pocket, it might not hurt to keep a small
bottle in the glove compartment or console just in case. Most of the ladies
almost always have a small bottle of perfume handy in their purses and most
won’t leave home or go anywhere for that matter without some type of perfume.
In a
survival situation, it is important to remember that everything will become a
multi-use item, even a bottle of perfume or aftershave.

Spice?
You can also use the waterless alcohol based hand cleansers for this - come in small pocket bottles made for this.
ReplyDeleteI would have not considered perfume though - that is a good idea.

ReplyDeleteThe hand sanitizer works as well but there are a lot of items that contain alcohol. Any or all of them would work in a pinch to keep you out of a bind.
Thanks anon.
