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

crayon smoke

Whatever reason you have for making a smoke bomb, you want it to be safe and for it to work when activated. As an attention getter, colored smoke is effective and the color is certainly a plus! It turns out it's also easy to make. Just watch the video and have a great way to signal for help!

So, not only do crayons make for a great additive but you can use the colors they produce for any manner of signal! Think about red for “danger,” yellow for “all clear,” and maybe a pretty blue for “bring water” – etc.

Survival means thinking on your feet and this tool can certainly be a big help!

    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.
