Believe it or not a Tampon can be a man's best friend in a survival situation.

As awkward as it is to discuss at first, a tampon is an amazing tool, outside of its intended use. Check out this video from Yahoo about the use of the "Manpon" as a survival tool. Just as a side note, back during Desert Storm, a bunch of my friends who were marines carried them in their pockets... they figured what better to seal a bullet wound in the abdomen? I don't know about effectiveness but it seemed legit.

Not only is it a great survival tool, unscented tampons work extremely well as scent wicks. They soak up a large amount of scent, expand to have a big surface area to release the scent, have a convenient string on the end to tie onto a branch, and are much less expensive than buying name brand scent wicks. I buy a box every year.Matt Hoffpauir
I still feel uncomfortable in the checkout line at the drug store though. :)Valerie Allgrove
LOL Matt you must not be married nor have any girl children!Mike Richardson
yes had to bite the bullet and buy that junk since the wife just had a baby. I said i would NEVER buy it. I guess once you get the dad card that all gos out the window.John Jackson
Someone needs to market them in a "manly" type of box so guys who need to buy them, don't get the looks from the people at the store.Matt Hoffpauir
Do they come in camo?Zack Doyle
You know John, I thought about that a few years ago. Marketing tampons in manly styled boxes for hunting purposes. Never did follow through on it, but it could be a winner if it hasn't already been attempted.Mike Ollett
Try soaking one in vanilla and hang it in a tree to hide your scent and attract bearsJohn Jackson
Great idea but here in Tennessee I am not anxious to have bears following me around lol.Tish Boychuk
