You Won't Believe What We Discovered About Vaseline Cotton Balls - Waterproof or Not?

[@barrybrum]

Consider melting the Crisco or Vaseline, then dip the cotton balls in it for more equal saturation (waterproofing) and no mess on your hands. Also, use pork fat lard instead of vegetable based Crisco.

This is the best way!

[@SpeirOutdoors]

Sometimes things just don’t turn out the way you thought they would

[@NewSpirits]

It depends if you're using the all vegetable or real animal fat shortening. The animal fat shortening burns much better than the all vegetable.

Very true

I keep a few cans of generic Crisco around for illumination and oil stoves for extended blackouts

[@SpeirOutdoors]

Me too. But then I always end up frying fish with it lol

[@SpamMusubi308]

@@SpeirOutdoors year that's where mine usually end up too 🤣👍

[@lukec1651]

I, honestly, never thought about using Crisco. Thanks

[@SpeirOutdoors]

No problem!

[@AHD2105]

Can you fry those fungi in the stump in the crisco fire?

[@kevkev5935]

I wonder if you heated up the crisco and put a bunch of cotton balls on it when it's in liquid form if that would really get it in there? Then let them cool down and store in a zip lock bag. Kinda like a fish fry but not as tasty haha. God bless you brother.

Have you tried using Black Beard Fire Starters? They work great! Very affordable and they are made in America!

[@SpeirOutdoors]

I used them in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6WneYtqjLqafrcsi=x4Uk__fDPajKY604

[@koryaiine7393]

That was pretty interesting 🤔

[@SpeirOutdoors]

thanks

[@themidnightrider6805]

Then mix a little of both together on the same cotton ball and see how that works

[@SpeirOutdoors]

I was just answering the exact same comment on TikTok

[@johnmoore5293]

In a survival situation some crisco or animal fat has a dual purpose as you can eat it for calories or burn it .

[@SpeirOutdoors]

Very true

Not a proper scientific experiment as you didn't wash or use gloves therefore cross contamination from one to the other.

[@SpeirOutdoors]

Wow

[@s9plus20]

Also you would need to weigh the samples to insure the same amount was used.
