Editor's note: This is a guest post from Creek Stewart.
Last week we talked about the many survival uses of the tampon. But unless he specifically packed one in a bag or car, a man's unlikely to have one on him in a pinch. So today we're going to explore the survival uses of an everyday item you're much more likely to have with you in an emergency: your cell phone.
Ever leave home without your cell phone? For most of us, the answer these days is no. I think I'd be more comfortable leaving home without my pants on. I feel more naked with no cell phone. The cell phone has become our portal to the world and we pretty much have one with us at all times. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Whether in a boat, on a plane, traveling through Africa, taking a road trip, or backpacking the Rockies, our cell phone has become a regular piece of Every Day Carry (EDC). I think it's pretty safe to say that we will probably have our cell phone with us if ever faced with a tragic survival situation. It's also not hard to imagine that it might not be working. Regardless of the reason, a broken or busted cell phone is STILL an amazing collection of pieces and parts that, with a little insight and creativity, can be used to help meet a surprising number of basic survival needs. How do I know this? I busted open a handful of cell phones to find out.
