If you take a look around in your household, you can discover many items which can help you survive. But not only obvious things like lighters are helpful, also numerous others.

Steel wool and batteries: Batteries are not only suitable for electrical appliances, they can also ignite a fire. Hold steel wool threads between the plus and minus point and soon sparks appear with which you can start a fire.

Wax crayon: You can use them as candles too. Just break off the top and kindle the paper. You can also buy several pieces stuck in a box and set them on fire using some cloth .

Tampons: Tampons are very good bandages to take care of wounds.

Nylon Stockings: These are true multi-talent. You can add more of them to make a rope, because they are extremely tear resistant. Likewise, you can  filter water through them to remove coarse and fine particles of dirt and you can use it as a tourniquet totreat wounds as well.

Aluminum foil: Aluminum foil is perfect to wrap things which have to remain dry, like matches or tinder. You can also use aluminum foil to make fire, as I have already described before.

Bleach: Although bleach is extremely toxic, you can clean about a liter of water with two little drops of it if it gets tough.
