Here are some survival life hacks that will keep your body and mind hydrated. These techniques include making a raft out of sticks and lighting a fire using tin foil. It is possible to use chapstick to heal wounds. These tips can be useful in an emergency situation and will save you time, money, and energy.
A stick-made raft
Building a raft out of sticks can be a great adventure. It is easy to build a raft from sticks and it can be a great way to find better fishing spots, if you ever get lost along the banks of a stream. If you're traveling with a group, it is easier for you to work together to make your raft lighter and more stable.
You can make a water bottle dispenser.
Soda cans have a number of other uses. Soda cans can be used to make soup or other liquid food. You can also freeze them to make solid ice.
Start a fire using tin foil
Tin foil can be used for lighting a fire in the event that your batteries have run out. Wrap the tin foil around an object that is long enough to hold it. Next, place some survival food on the foil. You should keep your hands clear of the flames, or they could get burned.
Use chapstick to seal your wounds
One survival hack to avoid infection is chapstick. You can use chapstick to treat small cuts, bug bites, rashes, and more. It prevents blood from leaving the wound and keeps it clean. It protects your wound from bacteria, dirt, and other contaminants. This reduces the chance of infection in unfamiliar environments.
To light a fire, use an alcohol swab
In emergency situations, you can use alcohol swabs as a fire starter. They are extremely flammable and can keep the flame lit for a very long time. Not to be used in rainy or wet conditions, swabs should never be used to start a fire. Cotton swabs should be used instead. The cotton holds the flame longer and is much easier to use in the case of a fire.
Chapstick can be used to remove gum from children’s hair
It is easy to remove gum from children's hair by using vegetable oil or chapstick. The oil can help to strengthen the gum base and aid in removing the gum. To gently remove gum, you can use your fingers and an old toothbrush. You should avoid this method if your child suffers from a peanut butter and vegetable oil allergy.

How To
How to make a Deer Blind
A deer blind is a type of hunting device used to hide from game animals such as deer, elk, etc. It usually consists of an enclosed area made of wood or canvas that is covered with branches, leaves, and sometimes covered with leaves. The hunter hides in the enclosure and waits to see if the animal passes. When hunting at nights, the hunter will often use a deerblind.
You can find deer blinds in many sizes and shapes. Some are portable and others are permanent. These structures are usually made of plywood, cardboard, plastic or canvas and metal.
The most common type of deer blinds is box blinds (also known as box stands). These blinds consist of a box made of wood with walls and a roof. They are easy to construct and move.
Another type of deer blind is a tree stand. Tree stands are natural looking so that it is not obvious they exist. Tree stands are usually permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds, similar to tree-stands but built into the ground, are another option. Ground blinds are usually camouflaged in dirt, rocks or sand. Ground blinds are sometimes referred to as "ground boxes."
There are many ways to hunt deer blinds. One option is to just wait for the animal and then stand still. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. If you decide to use this method, be sure to keep your distance and not move too fast. This could lead to the animal thinking you're a prey and running away.
You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. It is important to choose a location where the wind doesn't blow your scent towards the animal. Avoid areas where people often hike.
Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
