Make your matches waterproof
When you go camping or hiking, there are many things you can’t forget to pack. One of them is matches. However, if you happen to go out on a rainy day, they can get too soaked to use. In that case, you can always bust out your primal survival skills and try to light a fire with the stick-rubbing method.
No one doubts that’d be a clever idea, but perhaps you can plan ahead and save yourself all the hassle. Just dip the flammable heads of the matches in clear nail polish before packing them for your camping or hiking trip. The matchsticks will surely light up when you need them, no matter how damp they are.
