18. The ointment can also be packaged in straw segments for easier packing
Many of us have been on a trip only to discover that one of our bottles had somehow opened or come loose and covered the entire bag with whatever was inside. We might not want to take a whole bottle of ointment camping, even if there is no shampoo explosion.
Grab some straws and cream if this sounds familiar. Be careful not to burn yourself when you cut the straw in small pieces and seal one end using the lighter. Fill the segment up with the ointment, then seal the other end. You can now leave the tent without worrying about bug bites or rashes.
