Why you should always bring tampons in your survival kit, even if you’re not menstruating

Obviously, if you’re out camping and/or hiking and you’re menstruating, it would be good to bring tampons. But even if you don’t have the equipment for menstruation, it turns out that a tampon can be a valuable multi-purpose tool for a variety of situations. And if it makes you feel manlier, you can call it a T.A.M.P.O.N. (Tactical Adventure Medical Preparedness Outdoors Necessity)

Yes, I have a tampon in my mouth — don’t laugh! As a last ditch water filter, you can make an improvised Survival Straw from the plastic housing and cotton from a tampon. As you can see in the photos below, just tear off a bit of the cotton and stuff it into the plastic housing. I find it better to leave a little bit sticking out to make the housing pieces wedge tightly together.
