Every day brings you something unexpected, whether it’s a lucky turn of events or a nasty surprise. But from time to time you can find yourself in situations that are not only far from pleasant but also outright dangerous. You typically don’t see them coming and, therefore, don't carry any kind of first aid kit or extra water and food supply with you wherever you go. Don’t worry! In this video, you’ll learn how to use day-to-day objects to help you out of critical predicaments.

This everyday thing that we rarely give much thought to can save your life when you’re in a crunch. You can use it both in sun- and moonlight as an emergency beacon. - When the nearest fire department is miles away, and you don't have enough water to put the fire out, use baking soda! It will easily extinguish a small kitchen fire. - If you end up in an extremely dry or, vice versa, really humid climate, believe it or not but a condom will come to the rescue. In a desert you can use it to store water since condoms are durable and they can stretch enough to fit a gallon of water! - If you decide to spend some time away from civilization, having some aluminum foil with you is an absolute must. First of all, you can use it as insulation against the cold if the temperatures drop while you’re out. - During a fire, a building collapse, or a dust storm, you can use a bra cup as a mask that’ll let you breathe cleaner air. - Lip balm can serve as a candle that’ll assist you in case of a sudden power outage or if you’re stuck in your car on a very cold night. - Don't forget about plastic wrap! It turns into a really effective bandage if you’ve seriously burnt yourself. The benefits are infinite: it doesn't stick to the skin or to the wound, it’s pretty much sterile, and it doesn't cost much. - The history of these feminine hygiene products dates back to the First World War, when army doctors and nurses used their prototypes for bandaging wounds. Later on, they transformed into what we now know as sanitary pads or napkins. - In fact, lots of residents of earthquake-prone areas always keep a whistle on themselves. The sound it makes is high-pitched and can be heard much easier than a human voice. - Potatoes help soothe irritation and reduce inflammation from insect bites. They also help speed up healing time. - You can use your pants as a flotation device. What you need to do is first tie the ends of the pant legs together, and then whip them around in a way that will fill them with air. - A key isn't as simple as it seems. It not only lets you in your house after a long day at work, but can also scrape off some bark from a tree that can be used to fuel a campfire. - Duct tape. This inexpensive and universal tool is worth a fortune in case of an emergency. With its help, you can easily repair anything that comes to mind, from a torn sleeping bag to your raincoat. - If you have an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, it will become a potent means of fighting infection if you hurt yourself. Wash your hands before treating the wound, and then sanitize the injury.
