Who knew items like dental floss, trash bags, and credit cards could save lives – read on to find out how.
#1 Glasses
Survival is one situation where being called “four eyes” may come in handy. Glasses can be used to start a fire and create distress signals. To start a fire, begin by collecting tinder, like lint or Spanish moss, and angle the lens (which should be glass and convex, not plastic) so that the sun hits one spot. Hold until it starts to smolder then begin blowing on it to start the fire.
Alternatively, angle the lens against the sun to create a distress signal and allow others to find you.
