I read in a hunting magazine you could use your methane soaked underwear to start a fire. I would advise taking them off first. Not having enough pairs to burn any, I usually use lighter knot splinters or dryer lint.

Magnesium blank and a steel rod. If you get a big enough pile of magnesium shavings, you can light up a stump.

Saw an article in Field and Stream about this. They did underwear, dryer lint, a candle in a shotgun shell, and the fire starters I show how to make earlier in this thread. The fire starters won hands down.

just another thought for the vasolien. you can coat a tick with it and let it back out if its latched on. also its better to use a piece of gauze coated in it with dry gauze over top to dress a wound life a skin tear or if you get skinned up bad because the vasolien will keep the wound from scabbing into to dressing
