One item that no survival kit should be without and that I feel does not get talked about enough is the candle. Yes, I know that many of you carry them, and some even like the little trick birthday candles that can't be blown out; I have several of those also. But let's look at a regular candle; maybe a "pink lady" or those made by Coleman for emergency's, for example. Look at what you can do with a regular candle:
1.) Make a candle lantern.
2.) Dry out wet firewood.
3.) Make a tent stove by placing one under a tin can with holes poked in it.
4.) Stop a tent leak.
5.) Rub it on a zipper to make it zip smoother.
6.) Replace waterproofing on a boot, etc..
Any other ideas?
