  • I noticed that Bushcraft on Fire recommended the zinc oxide, not only is it great as a deodorant, but its great for chaffing, & keeping moisture off the skin, which is why it's used on baby bottom & it's a natural sun screen. With that & baking soda, you could take on the world :) Great video!

  • @sassylindylou zinc is great, you can find it in those blister anti glide sticks, as well the butt paste for motorcycle rides ;)

  • whered you get the pocket flakes?

  • @0122358 REI

  • Terrific personal kit setup Bro..

    I like the baking soda idea.. Also.. I use Zinc Oxide for a "deoderant". One application will last 4-5 days & A single small tube will last many months!

  • great idea, thanks

  • The mineral blocks work very well. I've been using them as my primary deodorant for decades. Also, in a pinch, scrubbing the armpits with isopropyl alcohol works as a deodorant, too.

  • Unfortunately, us women can't shave with a straight razor, do you have any suggestions about alternatives for the females in the audience?

  • Don't knock the deodourant crystals, they're awesome

  • @menasor2 It's a crystal 'rock' type thingy you get at a health food store. They're cheap and last forever.  Just ask for a crystal (mineral salts) deodorant rock.

  • @RBNightlinger what exactly IS the mineral block? and where do you find them?

  • You cannot buy skills.

  • LOTS of good ideas, but at the end of the day and lets be honest, all a person needs is SOAP. You can brush your teeth with pine needles. The problem with all this stuff is that it teaches you nothing about long term survival, it runs out within a week or so its better to learn the skills to how to use nature to do EVERYTHING, and you can. The whole idea of 72hrs is ridiculous because you can survive that long with a bottle of water if you needed to. Its gets too detailed. LEARN the skills.

  • axe sprays pity good for fire starting

  • Gold bond's good for your balls too! Had to say it... Not to sure on the "foot powder" kind but the yellow bottle is were its at.
