Not related to food... but related to preparedness.
Paraffin... get a pound or so of it.
We find little use in todays scenario of ziplock bags, 3in1 oil, teflon, laxative supplements, lotions, pumped in heating fuels, electricity, and ... well lots.
It can be used to:
- seal
- lubricate
- lubricate the bowels
- soften skin and other materials
- start fires
- candles
- protects skin
- can be liquified …More

- lubricate the bowels
- soften skin and other materials
- start fires
- candles
- protects skin
- can be liquified with light oil and used in hair care (yep, we made our own Butch Wax .. used to cost as much as a home cooked meal for 6)
- shaving lubricant (for those who use shave foam, lotion, oil, ...)
- can reduce chance of rusting
- moulds
- coat clothing for waterproofing
I cannot remember all the uses... I think the phrase we learned was that paraffin is 50/50... 50 known uses and 50 you will find when in need. I can't remember the 50 known... yeah, lack of use weakens a lot.

This is what one finds in shipboard emergency foods. USCG approved.
It is well designed for survival. I suggest you ensure you have PLENTY of water when you eat this. It does not 'go down' easily without a water flush.
Personally, I find trail mix far more tolerable. But, I have 3 days of this per person 'just because' and just in case we get through the food, canned food, MREs, trail mix, and …More

Personally, I find trail mix far more tolerable. But, I have 3 days of this per person 'just because' and just in case we get through the food, canned food, MREs, trail mix, and add this stuff to whatever you forage or catch. You probably won't want to eat it alone.
