(TO SPONGE OR NOT 2 SPONGES?)
Excrement's, or barf or beurkkk stuff have to be cleaned for health & welfare even 1st. Aid reasons, its obvious, but how to do it when in the bush or in Survival situation without our softer than soft toilet paper. OOOPPPSSS!
NO Survival book ever talked about shit and how to clean it, for there was no such sponge pad before 1960 technical miracle of man.
THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN UP ANY MESS is the NEW or old age CHAMPION
The BEST OF BEST = "SPONGE".
Beside being ultra light it absorbs and cleans up ass or wounds or clothes or living space or food or games etc.
WATER COLLECTOR:
It collects water for emergency source to tap morning or night due or act as water filter or sponges the boat or tent from too much water! (Titanic?!?)
BAIT as SPONGE!?!: (YES!)
It also can serve as a bait if you have chosen to have it in yellow & to top it off there is a fairly NEW model with a usually green rough pad which would greatly help in cleaning pots & pants or clothes etc.
MEDICAL SPONGE: (STERILE!!!)
An all around tools to clean wounds, and sterile to boot if allowed to dry in the sun or left to boil in water for 10 minutes with the water you would use to drink or to clean wounds with, which is most useful in survival & 1st Aid.
I "PERRONALLY" evaluate it as 3rd after the solar blanket & the #1 Swiss army knife. The plate/heliograph knife in 4th, with the special 1982 Taiwan shovel all around bush tool from hammer to saw , to screwdriver to wrench etc.
