Demelone just started a thread about his wood kit and mentioned he carried lip balm in his Altoids tin. I didn't want to jump in on that thread but thought I'd mention I've had good luck using Chapstick as a rust preventative in carbon steel edges. Easy to carry and it works well.
In case you were wondering, I like the strawberry flavor. It makes my lip so nice and pink.

I don't use chapstick brand, just because I don't like what it does to my lips. I like the kiss my face or whatever ones, or else alba botanica. I don't really worry about using it as a rust preventative, although I guess the petroleum jelly in it would work well for that. I just prefer the tuf-cloth, since they don't take up much room and don't pull dirt the way that other lubricants do.

In case you were wondering, I like the strawberry flavor. It makes my lip so nice and pink. And your knife taste good! I would guess that the parafin or whatever they are using coats the blade. When in a pinch use what you can! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I normally use a corrosion inhibitor designed for firearms on my blades with great luck. Can't for the life of me recall the brand right now though.

It makes a great fire starter too if added to some tinder. Makes it burn longer.

That is good advice! I use chapstick as well but threw in what would fit the tin. I will also have to try it in the fire.

Yes, like Terry said, it makes a great accelerant for a fire, as well as corrosion preventive.
I don't use Chapstick brand, because I prefer no scent and no flavor, due to wildlife.
Lip balm is fairly useful stuff to carry.
