I'd have to say under equipment as it's not just limited to medical uses.

I have replaced vaseline with coconut oil as it has the same uses and an added benefit of being edible, with very high cals.

Very good idea! Does it still burn the same if you soak cotton wool balls in it?

In the mob, whilst in the field, we used to apply liberally to the stern valve. this eliminated the need for toilet paper, as it left no trace of faecal matter around said orifice after a number two. it also meant that you left no trace of paper lying around. It sounds unhygenic but it works. Try it. (Now there's a project for the weekend)

i use it for dry skin , slap it on then bandage over for a couple of days to stop it rubbing off . mostly on my lower legs , they`ve never been the same since i got scolded when the heater in my car burst .
YES i walked away mid sentence , you were boring me to death and my survival instincts kick in .

I don't think you need to get out more, in fact with that knowledge, I think you've been out too long :lol:
Still useful to know...
