Vodka is the alcoholic spirit made through distillation of rye,
wheat, or potatoes. It's food and it can help you preserve food.

Vodka can preserve fruits (cherries for example). The New
York Times shows how to spike fruits to preserve summer.

and you've got fuel for your lamp; however, you must be
careful. Here's how to safely make an alcohol lamp.

#6: Vodka as a weapon: Molotov cocktail.
Vodka is among the most basic of weapons. Just insert a cloth
into a bottle of alcohol, like vodka, light it and send it towards
your target. It's quite effective.

#7: Vodka as a pesticide.
With vodka you can kill wasps and bees. How so? Spray them
with it. Just fill a trigger-spray bottle and aim. They will fall,

housekeeper knows! GoodHouseKeeping.com shows you how to

kill mold and mildew using this method.

#11: Vodka for cancer prevention.
If you are a cancer patient, you should not drink cancer and yet
this substance can help you. Cancer is caused by two things:
toxicity (chemicals, pollutants, etc.) and deficiency (nutrition).

Using vodka as a cleaning product to replace harsh chemicals
can go a long way towards cancer prevention!

Skipping the harsh chemical Deet products and using alchol-
based products as insect repellent can help you in your quest
to stay cancer-free naturally.

use vodka in place of toxic chemicals, then you see the true value
of vodka in cancer prevention.

Now that you know, add some vodka to your natural cleaning
product list (baking soda, Borax, hydrogen peroxide, liquid castile
soap, essential oils, lemons, vinegar).

More ways vodka can help you...

this as a solvent for the adhesive.

Make your razors last longer. Clean and disinfect razor
blades by soaking them in vodka (and prevent them from
rusting). The alcohol content of the vodka will dry the
surface of the razor and thereby prevent rust.

Gun cleaner. Not the first option mind you, but using vodka
to clean your gun is better than the option of malfunctioning.

Avoid a bad hair day. Apply vodka to your scalp to keep
dandruff away or degrease your hair. It cleanses your scalp!

Wipe your spectacles. Vodka can help you defog your
glasses and wipe away the smears.

Make your own mouthwash. Alcohol is the main ingredient
of mouthwash. Try peppermint Essential oil.

Flavor your alcohol. T ry making Jolly Rancher Moonshine.

Sleep aid. It's not a choice for everyone, but on the occasion
that sleep is difficult, any kind of alcohol can help.

Now you can think of vodka as a prepping tool, even if you don't
drink.

Keep a supply of vodka: you'll be happy you did in the event the
unthinkable happens.

#3: Medicinal uses of vodka (internally).
Topically, we covered the uses of vodka above for first aid, but
vodka goes beyond to help as a medicine internally.

pronounced "woda," which means "water of life" and was first
used medicinally around 1555. Below are some ways vodka can
be used medicinally...

How to use vodka prepping

This might be a good time to stockpile vodka!
It's almost the perfect prep: vodka virtually never expires, it has
bartering value, medicinal purpose and a multitude of uses.
Straight up! Drinking vodka may not be your thing, but even if it
isn't you should consider stockpiling it in the name of survival.

With uncertainty in the world, it's good to evaluate your preps to
see how you might make adjustments. Below are several vodka
survival uses, most of which don't involve drinking for your
consideration...

How vodka can become useful in prepping
You might think simply to drink vodka, but here are some of the
many benefits of stockpiling vodka in your preps that go well
beyond drinking:

#1: With Vodka you can barter.
An obvious use of vodka is for bartering purposes and historically,
vodka has served this purpose through the centuries quite well.
This might be the top reason you decide that it's a good idea to
have vodka stockpiled in your prepping supplies.

Alcohol will always be of value in times of crisis as people look to
relieve some of their worries through intoxication, and vodka in
particular is a valued commodity. Best of all, vodka a shelf-stable
item that will last indefinitely.

For bartering, consider stocking smaller bottles of vodka or have
the ability to transfer larger bottles to smaller ones.

#2: Use vodka for first aid (externally).
That vodka is a disinfectant is another obvious use of its value in
prepping. Below is a list of uses for careful consideration.

Here are some ways to use vodka as a disinfectant in first aid:

Deal with blisters. Cleanse a broken blister with vodka.
Irrigating a wound with alcohol will not only help dry out the
blister, but help cleanse the site to avoid bacterial infections.

Cleanse a first aid tool. Sterilize tweezers with vodka before
using for splinters or tick. Vodka will kill the germs.

Use as a preparation for an injection site. Prep an injection
site (as with diabetes management) in absence of having
prep pads, by soaking a cotton ball with vodka. This will
minimize risk of infection at the injection site.

Here are more ways to use vodka in first aid:

Deal with poison ivy. Pour vodka on skin affected by poison
ivy to draw out the irritating urushiol oil. It's an easy way to
help ditch the itch!

Control acne flair ups. Apply vodka as an astringent for
acne (dip vodka on a cotton ball). This isn't a lifesaving idea,
unless you're a teen of course.

Care for a cold sore. Make use of vodka to dry out a cold
sore (dip on a q-tip).

Alleviate a jellyfish sting. That's right, you don't need to pee
on your sting if you can pour vodka on the wound.

Stop bug bite itches. Vodka can cut to the chase and relieve
the swelling that causes itch along with cleaning the site.

Make a liniment for muscle pain and stiffness. What's a
liniment? It's a lotion or a liquid used for soothing (counter-
irritating) for bruising or sprains. Wellnessmama.com uses
rubbing alcohol in their recipe for an herbal liniment, but
vodka is preferable.

Make an ice pack. To make a squishy ice-pack, mix 2 cups
water with one cup vodka. (Incidentally, you can also use
rubbing alcohol.) Alcohol doesn't freeze, but the water does,
and the result is a nice consistency to use for first aid relief.
