Baking soda is one of those materials most of us overlook when it comes to preparing for a survival or SHTF scenario. But in reality, it is one of the most useful items you can have in your survival kit (as opposed to your bug-out bag.)

While it is not a “critical item,” like having multiple fire starting tools/methods, it is one of those things that will make life a lot easier if you have it on hand. Like most commonly overlooked things, we don't realize its importance until we need it.

Baking soda can be used as a toothpaste and mouthwash, deodorant, moisture absorbent and so much more.

In a long term survival situation, baking soda can keep things like an ice chest from smelling as well as a treatment for bug bites and rashes.
