Thank you.....my mom used that kind of wax to seal her jars of homemade grape jelly. Never knew it had so many other critical uses.
Here is a real survival tip along those lines that could help make someone the last one standing in a long term survival situation...
Along with your regular guns/ammo, everyone should have a cap-lock muzzle loader.
When all the brass, bullets, primers, powder, are long gone, a muzzlelloader can still work.
Crude black-powder can be made with nothing more than pig manure and charcoal.
The primer caps can be made with small pieces of an aluminum soda can formed with a nail/punch, and primed with the white tips on those “strike anywhere” kitchen matches.
Just another use for those wax sealed kitchen matches that you mentioned.
