Riverwalker’s Top Ten Alternate Uses for Lip Balm

Saturday, November 9, 2013 11:29

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

There are numerous items
that we frequently use in our everyday lives that frequently have multiple
uses. Many of these uses aren’t readily apparent but can be a big help in a
crisis or an emergency when your resources may be limited. One extremely handy
everyday item that most people carry is lip balm. That small little tube can do
a lot more than keep your lips moisturized.

Most lip balms are a
petroleum-based product that also includes additional beneficial ingredients. It’s
also a small enough item to be carried in your pocket, your purse or your first
aid kit. Here are a few alternate uses for lip balm.

Top Ten Alternate Uses for Lip Balm

1. Treat minor cuts and
scrapes on the skin with a thin coating of lip balm.

2. Use as a lubricant for
stubborn zippers on your gear or equipment bags.

3. Rub on a cotton ball or
gauze pad to make an expedient firestarter.

4. Insert a make-shift wick
to make an expedient candle for emergencies.

5. Rub on other exposed
areas like the ears to protect them from the cold.

6. Coat your shoe or boot
laces to keep them secure and prevent untying.

7. Use to coat irritated
skin areas on your feet before a blister can form.

8. Use to waterproof and
seal damaged or exposed seams on tents.

9. Coat your knife blade to
protect it from excess moisture in wet conditions.

10. Use a chunk of lip balm
to seal a rifle barrel to keep out debris or moisture.

This is by no means all the
uses for lip balm that are possible and you shouldn’t limit your resources by
thinking in finite terms.

Staying above the water
line!
