(Video) In a Survival Situation, Knowing How to Make Smoke From Crayons Could Save a Life

Anyone with a backpack or bug-out bag needs to have all the right tools inside.

Think of yourself as a hiker, finding yourself lost in the midst of a large forest. If you have a mirror to signal that’s great but if the trees are too thick that may not be effective. Also, you can only signal if you see and hear a rescue vehicle. What you need is something that will draw planes and helicopters to you.

Smoke will do it!

After the break check out the next page and watch a clever video that will take you step by step; showing you how to make a smoke bomb out of simple ingredients – including crayons!

This is not something we had ever thought of but it really is quite brilliant and something to definitely place in the “to do” catalog of our preparedness file!

    It depends. If I was a hiker lost somewhere In the woods and I wanted to attract attention to my location this would be nice.

    God, are you running out of stuff to publish? Crayon smoke bombs? I’m sure that’s the first thing I’m going to pack is crayon smoke bombs.

    Why not take a step further and just buy some flares? lol You’d probably spend the same amount of money or more on all the ingredients and flare casings etc.. that you would if you just went to Walmart and bought a set.
