Mine is a small bottle of liquid bandage. It stays in my toiletries, can go through that, and is superior to most bandages!

    Vaseline. Is that non-standard? It doubles as lip balm and for those really dry patches of skin that come around (currently in Japan and it’s been dry af). Or even for small cuts, or used as hand cream.

    Also can be used as a fire starter (for camping, just to clarify!).

      My grandparents ruined Vaseline for me. I will gladly carry multiple things to never use that stuff again.

            Why did your grandparents ruin Vaseline for you? Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Just wondering what kind of detriments I could be doing to myself by using Vaseline.

              They put it on me. That was all it took i guess. Maybe it was just that i don’t like the stuff. It was like a jar of snot that smelled. Still gives me the ick. I’m 41.

                I hear ya. I’m not a fan of the smell either, but for what I use it for, it works wonders. I also use Lucas Paw Paw when I can. It smells way nicer.
