    I process chapstic tubes that way and use them for match cases. They hold 7 large waterproofed strike anywhere matches by alternating the heads up and down, a birthday candle fits in the center and a few model will actually allow you to carry a compressed cotton ball under the lid. Great tutorial.

    I paused the video to test one of the uses, and my boss just caught me smearing chapstick against my glasses...wasn't sure how to explain.

    Love it! Your videos should be required watching in elementary and high schools. College and Senior Citizen schools too. Learning to use your brain is a much needed survival school, and you are performing a desperately needed public service. God bless America! I almost threw away a bunch of old chapstick I had, but now I have many uses for it. I can't say thanks enough. Thanks.

    I use it under my nose when I have a cold and have to blow my nose a lot. Much cheaper than fancy premoisterized tissue and frankly works better. I can use the roughest dollar tree tissue or toilet paper and never get a rash under my nose.

    Rub this around the inside of screw on food jars, keeps the lid from sticking. Rub a light coat over the inside of Tupperware container to keep it from staining. Use on pets paw for emergency burns from hot concrete or cuts. I just found your channel, I like it! I’ve got a brother that is a huge prepper, I am gonna recommend this channel to him! I see you have a USMC knife, if you served in the armed forces a big thank you! If no, then thanks for making this channel anyways!! 😁🤗

    Thank you for these videos. They really are full of helpful information. At the beginning you mentioned some reasons for making these videos. Another reason I thought of was that you might have some suggestions I might not normally think of.
    I'm really new to this sort of thing, so I'm enjoying every one of these videos that I watch. I like all the little bits of humor you leave or put in. Even some of the out takes are educational
    Thanks again,

    The final idea mentioned at the very end is a great recommendation. I never thought of this product as a treatment for butt hurt, and though it may not be a cure, it's as good a suggestion as any for that ailment. lol
    I keep a stick of Carmex in my EDC kit and it's one of my most used items. Good video!

    Another good use is a loose or dirty 8mm stereo or mono phono jack rubbing a small amount on shaft helps reduce noise. I just did this on my warn out laptop phono jack and it reduced static noise to almost none at all. Good for cleaning the contacts and preventing oxidation at the same time.

    Also doubles as an excellent sunblock in a pinch have used it multiple times in the field. Especially if it it 15 or 30 spf the reduction of a sun burn during inhospitable weather allows for great increases in mobility and reduces fatigue

    My Boy Scout Troop always kept the medicated Chapstick in their pocket first aid kits. As well as protecting lips from being chapped, it also works as ointment for cuts, and it is spf 15 sunscreen, which can be put on your nose and ears when you feel them getting sunburned. I have always kept a stick in my tackle box.
