Great real life experience video.

Glad you enjoyed it

Good job bro. I know how blisteringly cold that wind and snow can be and how easy it would be to say screw it and give up. Perseverance is key in survival. 💪

This batch was light on Vaseline. Normally I use about 1 big heaping tablespoon of Vaseline for 10 cotton balls.

Hi. How much Vaseline do you add to your cotton balls. I am local in Thornton Co.

This batch I used less Vaseline than I normally do and wasnt pleased with it. I usually add about 1 heaping tablespoon to about 10 cotton balls. I do not shred the cotton balls, but rather keep them whole and just thoroughly coat the outside. Some people like to liquify the Vaseline also so that the cotton ball is completely saturated. I prefer to keep it at run temperature and just work it by hand so that the inner fibers arent a big glob.

Mineral oil like baby oil, should work fine too.
