    Other than maybe waterproofing boots none of the things on here had anything to do with survival. Food, water, guns n ammo, batteries, candles, flashlights, rope, knife and hatchet, stick matches and a butane torch is all anyone needs to survive. Yes other things are handy but not necessary

    Don’t have anything to do with survival but it kills boring bees. Stick the extension in the hole and spray, it works. I live in a log home and had many boring bees until I did this.

    I don’t think I’m going to care about getting stains out of my shoes when the apocalypse happens.

    I quit at 5. Weather proofing boots is cool, but if the grid goes down do I really care about squirrels eating my bird feed, glasses sticking together, or bubble gum issues? Lmao

    More cost effective to buy it by the gallon and put it in a plastic spray bottle.

  15. Joshua Moore said:

    PB 50 is way better. Its is a water displacer a lubricant and a penetrating oil. WD 40 is a mild lubricant and a water displacer only. It will not penetrate rust and dissolve it.

  16. Hunter Maclean said:

    WD-40 main ingredient is fish oil.

    WD-40 is garbage. PB Lubricant and Blaster are much better and cheaper.
