    Hello, PJ; Nice video, thank you. What I do to keep the vaseline off my hands; take a zip-lock bag, push the bottom thru the top, pick up the vaseline on the inside of the bag. Turn the bag right side out, put my cotton balls in the bag & work the vaseline into the balls. Also, adding melted wax to vaseline (or mineral or other appropriate oil) is a good addition. Just my 2¢. BTW, I *𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑳𝑳𝒀* like your lighter, I'd like to know the brand, etc., so I can get one. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

      @@wildnessoutdoors I missed the water purification. Honestly, I teach survival, and I was with search and rescue,bso please don't be offended. Less cotton would help save space. And shelter is more important than feeding your belly. I'm a huge proponent of food in survival kits but with such limited space I'd go with tampons, Fitch the cotton and peanut butter for a blanket. Let's be realistic. Your survival emergency will probably be over in 24-72 hours. You're not going to be out there long enough that you'll have to resort to making char cloth. You won't die of starvation but you can die of expose without a shelter. I'd replace a cheap plastic poncho with a Mylar one also. JMHO
