Makeup 

With the ability to fight off moisture, silica gel packets can be sealed in with your makeup bag to maintain dryness and no messy makeup disasters.

It makes sense that these useful packets can also help with makeup, and if you care about makeup or know someone who does, you might want to share this tip with them!

On the next page are two more clever uses for silica gel that are very beneficial for lifestyle needs and bugging out. I can't wait to try this during my next adventure!

    I do the same thing. Put them in my gun safe. I also put them with my cast iron cookware.

    I have used these in my gun cabinets for years. A lot of people use expensive de humidifiers for no reason. Anywhere I store weapons including knives, you’ll find these packets there and they work perfectly !

    No, throw them out. Once they are expressed to the air they are ruined. Too much moisture in everyday air to be useful.
