In this day and age, hand sanitizer makes the “must pack” list for outdoor trips, especially for hunters and anglers. But if it hasn’t made your list yet, here’s one more reason to consider tossing a bottle or two into your bag: It works as great fire starter when you’re in a pinch. The liquid solution is flammable, due to its high concentration of alcohol, making it an easily packed fire accelerant.

If you do plan to start a fire, don’t forget to check in with local officials regarding possible fire bans in your area.
