11 Must-Have Things In Your Bag to Save Your life

How to survive in emergency situations? Do you get snarky remarks for basically having your whole life in your bag? Extra clothes, different-colored pens, makeup, old receipts, earbuds, and the list just goes on and on! Hermione’s beaded bag has got nothing on you! Well, turns out that this seemingly excessive collection of stuff could save your life in an emergency situation!
For example, the cup of a bra can make an impressive debris mask in a pinch. All you gotta do is cover your mouth and nose with the cup, and it’ll keep you from breathing in dangerous ash, dust, and particles during a fire or after a disaster. This is really important since breathing in this stuff can seriously damage your lungs. You can even tie the bra’s straps around your head to keep your emergency dust mask in place!

SUMMARY:
- Besides warming you up and potentially serving as a blanket (depending on its size), a scarf can act as an effective sling for a badly injured or broken arm.
- When the sun’s rays beat off the surface of the snow, it can literally cause a temporary loss of vision. And if you’re one of the “lucky” ones that need eyeglasses to see, you can use them to harness the blinding power of the sun.
- Need some kindling for that fire you’re about to start with your glasses? You can use any receipts you have lying around in your purse or wallet.
- You can make a candle using lip balm and the string of a tampon. You just have to keep twisting the balm up so that the plastic container doesn’t get burnt. Not only could this provide some light when you might need it, but outdoor survival experts also say that a candle can actually create enough heat to raise the temperature of a small space (like a car) a few lifesaving degrees.
- Perfume, cologne, hand sanitizer spray, or hairspray can be used to help start a fire. Since they all contain alcohol, they’ll make your kindling extra flammable.
- Thanks to their high absorbency, pads can be used to cover wounds and help stop severe bleeding. As for tampons, once you remove it from the plastic applicator and pull out the cotton little by little, you’ll have some really flammable fluff for kindling.
- You can use an empty plastic bottle to gather fresh drinking water where there is none!
- Snacks can save you from starvation and maintain your energy levels in a crisis or disaster situation. Things like nuts or dried fruit are easy to carry and usually have a very long shelf life.
- Your keys can be used in self-defense, to cut bark off a tree in order to start a fire, and to mark your path if you’re lost on a hike.
- Of course, not many people walk around with a full-fledged first-aid kit in their bag. But what we all do have at all times is headphones. Yep, they’ll work just as well, as long as you have a pen and a hair tie with you too! With these 3 items, you can make a tourniquet to control a bleeding extremity.
