10 Everyday Items That Could Save Your Life In An Emergency Situation

It has been tested and proven multiple times that improvising is a fact of life. Saving yourself from a dangerous situation is not always that hard. All you need is a clear mind to know how to get yourself out of there.

The truth is, you really don’t need a specific item to save your life. Here are 10 everyday items that you can use in an emergency situation.

1. Chewing gum wrapper

2. Bra cup

Bras are essential pieces of clothing for ladies but in the case of a fire (and dust storm or building collapse), a bra cup can also be a good mask. Simply fit the cup over your nose and mouth to filter out fine particles.

3. Ice

As strange as it sounds, a fire can indeed be started using ice. You can use a very clear ice as a magnifying glass to start a fire with the help of the heat of the sun.

4. Tinfoil

When the power goes out, you can use a tinfoil to insulate you against the cold. It can also be used for cooking and signaling.

5. Sanitary pad

Sanitary pads are the perfect items if you have a large wound.

6. Toothpaste

Toothpaste will reduce the itch and swelling of an insect bite.

7. T-shirt

You can use a piece of cloth to filter the murky water into a cleaner and drinkable one.

8. Fork

Forks are pointed enough to be used as a weapon.

9. Belt

You can use a belt to barricade a door by tightening it around the door hinge.

10. Shoelace

This simple yet potentially life-saving method can help you escape from zip ties by just using your shoelaces!
