Great ideas! But, as a nurse, I'll note two things: Don't put it on a bad sunburn because it will seal in the heat and cause blistering. Also, don't use it as a sunscreen; it will magnify the sun's rays and cause you to burn FASTER. 😘
You forgot about important one if you're in the woods and you get a tick in you and you can't get it out cover it with petroleum jelly heavily and the tick will come out. I hope you find that helpful.
@Sarah Shea If the chiggers are in your private region, you should shave one half of the area, douse the other half with lighter fluid, set fire to the lighter fluid and the chiggers will then all run over to the shaved side; making it easier to see them and remove them. (At least, that's what I've heard. I never tried it.)
The best way to get a tick off, is take a match and light it, blow it out quickly and immediately touch the head of the match on the back of a tick, burning the crap out of him. The tick comes right off. If you don’t have matches, then use the petroleum jelly.
Awhile ago I watched a CZcams video of a dermatologist named Dr Dray. She highly praised Vaseline and debunked all the rumors about how bad it is supposed to be for you. Surgeons use it on incisions after surgery because it has antibacterial qualities. After my brother had a skin cancer surgically removed, his doctor told him to put Vaseline on it. He said it works better than antibiotic ointments and less chance of an allergic reaction. After learning all of this, I put a container of it in my "Go Bag". Thank you for sharing some of the other uses for it.
Sandra ... years ago I heard a story that surgeons used super glue if a surgical site internally wouldn't stay together ... but they wouldn't tell anyone cause it was hush hush ...
How about Vapor Rub ??? Its very similar to petroleum jelly, but with extra benefits (like a multi tool): - Fire 🔥 Starter - Bug Repellent - Chest Rub Nasal Decongestant - Treat Minor Burns - Treat Minor Headaches - Treat Minor Psoriasis - Etc
I remember when I was in the Army stationed in Germany and out in the field. We would sleep in our mummy bags with just our noses sticking out. A little petroleum jelly on your nose prevented frostbite. Awesome stuff.
@@donturnblade9973 Personally I do not like stuff covering my face. The warm and wet breath being captured under the cloth is kind of a weird feeling. I prefer fresh air.
My father coached baseball when I was young, living in Hawaii and he'd bring all the gloves home, condition them with Vaseline, place a baseball into the glove, wrap it closed with a cloth strip and then bring them to the team later. He said this conditioned the glove and made a nice "pocket". He also kept a jar on the shelf above his work bench. This was some 60 years ago, but I remember it well.
Another good use, but more for a family camping situation...put some petroleum jelly on the bottom of the legs of your food pantry or prep table to stop ants etc crawling up and getting into your food
Petroleum jelly, when heated and pushed with a hair dryer will make dried out stiff leather as limp as a rag and it helps to water proof the leather. It can also be used with the same process to treat old wood for a smoother finish. You want your leather boots water proof, use the petroleum jelly first, then rub beeswax over the top of that applying heat and a hair dryer the same way.
BAD IDEA!! FOR THE LEATHER. PETROLEUM JELLY IS MADE FROM GASOLINE BY PRODUCTS!! IT BREAKS DOWN THE NATURAL FIBERS IN LEATHER. WAY BETTER= *WORK WITH NATURE! COCONUT VIRGIN ORGANIC OIL IS WAY BETTER. SO IS OLIVE OIL, JOJOBA OIL IS, A SUPERIOR OIL, SO IS HEMP OIL, FLEX SEED OIL TOO. BEESWAX IS FINE!! AS A SEALER.
We used it at a shop I worked in for a tool lubricant. We bought high priced lubes and they would disappear (though it seemed some lunch boxes were heavier leaving than coming) The petroleum jelly seemed to do as good a job (bit messier) and it lasted around the shop a lot longer.
Many of these uses work, but DO NOT use petroleum jelly to lubricate a lock or anything with small moving parts. It will attract dirt that will eventually gum up your lock. Graphite is the correct lock lubricant.
I put petjel around the base of my flower pots to prevent ants from colonizing them. I also put a light ring around the base of my cat bowl to prevent them from getting at his food. I also put a light ring around the lip of my sugar jar; keeps the ants out.
@@jacintaperdue1720 don't be silly. You have probably never issued it on shoe's in Arctic climate. Stop posting dangerous advise on CZcams. Why should it be better than actual products made for shoe's? Are these manufacturers dumb and without any experience?
This is amazing. Thank you. I have just been using it for chapped lips and moisturiser. It is great that it can be used for rusty tools, locks and annoying zips, I have always a love hate relationship with my rucksack sips. Great stuff.
One of the best is avocado oil for everything. Including cooking as well. and skin care but if u need the consistency of grease then petroleum jelly is very good.
Melt a tub of vaseline, shred a small plug of chew or take the tobacco out of a couple of cigarettes, put the tobacco in the melted vaseline, then let it set up. You can leave the tobacco in, or after a week or two remelt the vaseline and strain out the tobacco, and what you have left is an excellent ointment to put on wasp or bee stings. My dad always did that, he said it helped to draw out the poison, and also helped take away the pain of the sting. Might work for any insect bites, but we used it on the stings.
If you didn't do all that, just spit on a little bit of tobacco, slap it on a bee sting, put a bandaid over that mess and the pain will stop, stinger will come out, you can remove it and clean it an hour later, it's all good.
I bought a dollar store version of Vicks Vaporub. I bought for breathing treatments to get rid of my cough and congestion after the flu. I also bought the generic version at my local drug store. They both smell really weird. I finally bought the real thing which smells perfect and works Great. Your tips help a lot on what I can do with them. I can finally restore that old pair of leather glove I found, too. Lol PS: Don't buy generic Dayquil or Nyquil either. They don't pack a punch like the real thing!
Sootch, the first video i ever saw of yours ways the cotton ball/petroleum jelly video. That is hands down my favorite fire starter. I even tought my 8 year old daughter to make them and she has them in her go bag. And yes she knows how to start a fire with a ferro rod and that. Practice all the time.
Great tips!, Vaseline is now on my list of things to stock up on on my next shopping trip. I especially like the Vaseline/cotton ball fire starter idea. Thank you and God bless you🙏🏻👏👍
When I was young and did a lot of hunting in all kinds of weather, I'd put a very light coat on the exterior of my barrel. It made the gun impervious to rain and snow.
There was a small container sitting in my bathroom drawer for ages without much use. After seeing this video, that container lives in my daily bag. I've used it for lubricating zipper teeth, and cover up mild scratches rather than leaving them exposed like I used to. Thanks for this super useful video!
Your video is very good, and although I knew about multiple coughs, because I use this product for many years, I appreciate your video because I learned things I didn't know. Thanks a lot
I've used petroleum jelly over 45 yrs to remove my eye make up & moisturise lips, before I put on my lipstick which helps better lipstick application too, removes lipstick too.
I am off to the dollar store and build up a supply. In the old maglite manuals they tell you to liberally put it on the threads to increase water/moisture resistance.
I have never thought about burning it. A good idea as its shelf life has got to be a very long time and it would be a good fuel a possible future necessity of heat. And a good waterproofing agent for things exposed to water or moisture. And it is good for adding moisture to dry hands knowing I have used it many times.
It also prevents blisters with new shoes. If you feel your heal rubbing and a blister starting rub some on it and the rubbing stops and so does the blister.
It's pointed out it's a skin protector, I find it stops burns breaking out in a blister. Used it every time an elderly neighbour put her fingers somewhere hot.
I would not be able to do any of these. I am allergic to Vaseline and most petroleum based products. For that reason, I can no longer apply my original trade, which was auto mechanic. I also have to be very careful when buying hygiene products. I gave the video a thumbs up because these are very good ideas, but just not for me. Keep up the great videos, SensiblePrepper.
If you save these certain spaghetti jars that's got the inside slope on the top . Bugs or insects can't climb out of the jar's. Set your trap in the jar and put a little petroleum jelly. In the jar and rub it with your finger on the top inside of the jar. If you buy tea candles you can use a little Lard to refill it or oil . They'll last longer than 5 hour's.
I have a portable toolbox that I put in the box of my truck but this winter it got to -50°c and my lock froze up so I brought it inside and my lock thawed but then it had moisture in it so it wouldn’t stop freezing and it was really annoying. I sprayed some wd40 in there to get the moisture out then took some 3in1 oil in there and it worked great
I didn't read all of the comments so maybe someone did already, but I put some on the threads of all my flashlights. Maglite actually had this suggestion in the user manual. It helps protect the threads and prevents them from screwing on wrong, stripping them. It also protects the o-ring and prevents it from drying out. Keeps dust, debris and moisture out.
2:10 I really appreciate all the information you share so I hope you don’t mind my comments. Hypoallergenic doesn’t mean it won’t clog your pores. Noncomedogenic means it won’t do that. Hypoallergenic means there’s low probability for allergy to something.
i would recommend bag balm it's basically petroleum jelly, lanolin and a disinfectant farms in north east have been using it almost a hundred years it's a great moisturizer and i've told that u can get in big 4.5 lbs containers for storage and it last forever
When I was in college, I recall the several of the members of the university swim team covering their legs and arms with petroleum jelly to keep themselves warm from the cold water for multi-hour practice sessions. It wasn’t a small amount they used either. They put it on as thick as one would frost a cake.
After a life of swimming pool service, I will guarantee they were not making any friends with the pool operators. That stuff will make a mess out of a pool and the filter system and can totally ruin some types of filter elements!
Apply petroleum jelly around a sucking chest wound to create an occlusive seal. A wound penetrating the chest causes the lung to collapse. Reseal the chest by putting an non-permeable membrane (plastic, rubber, Petroleum jelly saturated cloth) over it and securing it in place. Enhance the seal by circling the wound with petroleum jelly first. This is a very necessary precaution when rendering aid to your dog or horse ( or your Hungarian hunting partner with a hairy chest and back).
Getting gum or sap or tar out of hair. Helping to smother lice in hair. Sealing a bandage when out of tape. Helps stop bleeding but should only be used on superficial wounds in emergencies. Prevents metals such as nails from rusting if they are stored in a non water tight container. Will help to form a seal on bottles and jars, small amount around the lip will do the trick. Will make a needle slide through leather easier. Gives a longer life to natural fiber ropes and twine. Prevents rubber from drying out when exposed to the sun.
I have a thirty, yeap that is 3-0, year old Isuzu Trooper I regularly wipe Petrolatum on the CV boots. They ain't split open yet. My Grandpa hates the food at his rest home. Told me never, never put any of the Kentucky Jelly on toast it was powerful bad . I said Kentucky Jelly? I looked on his breakfast tray and he had tried using a tube of "KY" jelly on toast! 😜
I bought our youngest son a 77 Trooper that had 333K miles on her. The air blew ice cold. The engine ran fine and it drove much better than it should have. He ended up turning it over in the sand dunes. Thank The Good Lord no one was hurt.
HOLY HELL I PISSED MY PANTS AFTER READING THIS...ON PURPOSE!!! LOL, I'm sorry, I would have tried not to laugh, but I would have pissed my pants and all over the room trying to hold back the laughter!
Two more uses whenever you paint around the house apply a very thin layer to your hands any paint drops come right off with soap.Apply a tiny amount to a light socket thread to make sure light bulb never gets stuck
Here in Wyoming when hunting elk and it's getting down to 15 degrees or lower with a 40 mile an hour wind putting a little bit on your nose and cheeks will help prevent your face from getting froze
I've got news for you I use petroleum jelly on my gns especially if I'm going to store them for a long period of time. It does better than any gun oil that I have tried before and if you're hunting it turns water better than anything. If storing them it will stay on your guns for a very long time. Regular gun oil will be gone in just a few months.
I like using in a fire starter kit, with coton balls. But I also use it as sealer of alcohol with coton balls. It makes it burns longer. I drop the alcohol or soaked balls in melted vasoline.
I use it on my feet right after the shower. Then I put on socks. It helps to keep them soft and moisturized. And I'm almost embarrassed to say this next use. But here it goes. We are all grown here😉. For the ladies if you are a tampon user, just a little bit will help make it a smoother insertion. Whewwwww.....there I said it😄 Joy & Peace y'all!!!
Turns out coconut oil is WAY better for your skin or lips. Also petroleum jelly is terrible for zippers, locks, and tools because it attracts dirt/sand/salt and leads to rust. Use Remington oil instead, it doesn't evaporate like WD40 anyways.
Also helps constipated cats 😺 poop 💩. A dab on paw n relief. J s 😆 for years I thought was on good for door knobs n handles for a good laugh 😂 great video. Thanks 👍

SnoSeal is a better product. Vaseline is a grease at room temperature, but SnoSeal is thicker and more waxy at room temperature.
It eventually breaks down the leather. Best to use natural Oils! Coconut OIL, OLIVE OIL, PEANUT OIL, Castor oil etc.

As a locksmith I have to say this. Absolutely DO NOT USE in a lock or on keys. It attracts dirt and particles and can render your lock useless.
Yeah ....i think he was just looking for somthing more then fire start lol
Then what lubricant should be used on a lock?
They sell graphite powder which acts as a lubricant without making dirt stick to it.
Oil and grease will attract dirt.
WD40 works pretty well on locks
My parents used to tell us these hints many years ago...especially for zippers. Thank you for the recommendations!
TIP: When using it to moisturize, wash the area in very warm water and apply the jelly while still a teeny bit damp. You’re welcome. 😊
Many of these uses work, but DO NOT use petroleum jelly to lubricate a lock or anything with small moving parts. It will attract dirt that will eventually gum up your lock.
Graphite is the correct lock lubricant.

Two more uses whenever you paint around the house apply a very thin layer to your hands any paint drops come right off with soap.Apply a tiny amount to a light socket thread to make sure light bulb never gets stuck
I've used that stuff for years in the desert in California and Arizona there survival training
Great tips, good stuff. Never thought of a few you tell us about.
Thanks pardner.....great video

Thanks Fred, Hopefully it keeps us thinking : )

Just think how much of a candle fire you could make with an tampon soaked in P- Jelly.
Super hilarious.
Funny but true
Great christmas gift
Good tip
Here in Wyoming when hunting elk and it's getting down to 15 degrees or lower with a 40 mile an hour wind putting a little bit on your nose and cheeks will help prevent your face from getting froze
I use my petroleum jelly by smearing it round all my car door weather seals. It stops the door seals from freezing and tearing in severe frost.
My dermatologist recommended it to be used on cuts and blemishes, because it blocks oxygen from getting to the cut, which kills the bacteria.
😃
Yeah was waiting for someone to say that.. DRS told my daughter same thing here in Australia xxxx stops bacterial germs spreading no oxygen
Love the bloopers. Thanks for the great content!
I've got news for you I use petroleum jelly on my gns especially if I'm going to store them for a long period of time.
It does better than any gun oil that I have tried before and if you're hunting it turns water better than anything. If storing them it will stay on your guns for a very long time. Regular gun oil will be gone in just a few months.
Like packing machinery and weapons in cosmoline.
@@ZuluLifesaBeech- yep it works great
I like your saying 'improvise to survive' my cadet squadron had a saying "improvise adapt overcome"
Thanks Jake!
I like using in a fire starter kit, with coton balls. But I also use it as sealer of alcohol with coton balls. It makes it burns longer. I drop the alcohol or soaked balls in melted vasoline.
Thanks for the info Dale!
I use it to lube seals and orings in mechanic job. works great
I use Baby Aspirin Bottles to hold well saturated Cotton I also keep a Cotton Candle Wick
I use it on my feet right after the shower. Then I put on socks. It helps to keep them soft and moisturized. And I'm almost embarrassed to say this next use. But here it goes. We are all grown here😉. For the ladies if you are a tampon user, just a little bit will help make it a smoother insertion. Whewwwww.....there I said it😄
Joy & Peace y'all!!!
No petroleum in your vagina!!!
Ask a doctor...it does not break down...causes big problems!!!!!
@@kelshaler4499 Doctors are wrong alot! My great grandpa's n' granny's used Vaseline for 80 years" for raw sex. Never had a problems.
I was expecting some more medicimal uses 😉
Great vid, always informative 👍
When you're rebuilding an automatic transmission you can use vaseline to prelube alot of your parts
You’re one of my favorites, thanks.
Thank you and God Bless

I like his bonus at the end.
It's the quote from Sun Tzu 😀
For a mositurizer it works best on top of chapstick or a good lotion. Im Never without Vasaline. It is in my EDC bag. Always.
Very nice thank you for showing it on you tube have a nice day 🙂
i use it on all my leather goods. it works very well.
Hey it’s Sootch00! Love both channels keep up the great work!
Turns out coconut oil is WAY better for your skin or lips. Also petroleum jelly is terrible for zippers, locks, and tools because it attracts dirt/sand/salt and leads to rust. Use Remington oil instead, it doesn't evaporate like WD40 anyways.
Charles just Charles so true
Coconut oil is SUPERIOR
Also helps constipated cats 😺 poop 💩. A dab on paw n relief. J s 😆 for years I thought was on good for door knobs n handles for a good laugh 😂 great video. Thanks 👍
