I show how to make a simple waterproof container by sealing the ends of a straw to contain whatever is inside.

Sealing the straws is pretty straightforward; the ends of the straws are held with needle-nose pliers about 2-3mm away from the end of the straw. Then a lighter is used to melt the 2-3mm of straw sealing the end shut. Great for camping, survival kits, hiking, backpacking, and for keeping anything that will fit inside that you don’t want to get wet. You can use these to hold matches and tinder, spices and sauces, or money, and small papers.

A couple things with this. 1. If you're storing matches its best to make it a bit longer and add some cotton to the bottom to prevent moisture build up. 2. Ask the matches, cut a thin strip of phosphorus off the matchbox and slide it in with them. 3. In regards to all asking how to open them, just pinch the pointed sides of the fused plastic. It's weak as he'll and should give at some point. All if else fails, use your teeth
Loved these for my 1 night hiking/camping trips very light and easy to carry in and out. Also the money is perfect to stash $20 for emergency and keep it in my wallet for EDC and not be tempted to open and use it lol
Just came hear to say the guitar solo was killer
I found printing the contents in a easy to read font and tapping over the entire label with clear tape works very well. 💖
been doing this for years...showed to me by high country hunter from Wyoming...great man
Many days looking for a diy solution. This is a very clever way, thank you so much
Love this! Going to also use this for single dose meds for our camping trips.
I will be using this. Thanks for the upload!
I totally love this! The money... What a hiding place :D however, easy to misplace :-O Perfect portions for say, a camping trip
Wow.. one of the best life hack ever
I just made some today using McDonalds shakes straws, These are far thicker so hold more & are free too. These are white so you need to add the contents on the outside.
awesome ,i use boba straws ,work good also
I love this idea! I will probably never do it, since it's so time consuming, but I enjoyed watching your video! :)
Great video. I put these mini straw kits in all my bags, bottles and tins. They are great. OMG I forgot you can get honey with a tip that's so much easier. Your videos are awesome keep them coming.

But then you travel internationally and you have honey on board, you'd have to remember to either declare it, dispose it, or leave it at home.
This is clever! thanks!
This is a very cool trick! But I cannot recommend this for traveling abroad because I did this and the airport security thought I was smuggling drugs but it still is a good idea in consideration for security. But I can simply recommend is getting a plastic or metal tin with or without dividers. You can purchase these small, medium, large, and extra large tins at your craftshop and if lucky a medica section/travel section at your dollarstore (its a medicine pill container).
I use them in this way for most of that stuff plus an improvised fishing kit including some line, sinkers & hooks. Also works great to keep .22 ammo dry in your pack. Is great if you're carrying a tube fed .22 rifle.. just cut the end off a straw & in one motion dump seven rounds in the tube at once.
Genius - thanks
First aid/survival kits
brilliant hack, it's my favotire and so cute. What was the modified cap that you used to pour the honey??
Thanks! Great idea
That's genius!!
excellent ideas :)
Thank you so much
love the idea. let me know if there is more. have a nice day
Cool idea(:
thanks a lot

If they are safety matches what would you strike them on?
Where do you get the clear straws besides Amazon?

If you don't have access to a lighter, use a candle.😉

You mean, you can make a fire with those techniques and then use a flame from that fire to light the candle? I'd love to see you light a candle directly from those techniques. Regardless, I was making a joke
It may be good to traveling :)

The issue is either how close to heat he held the straw or the type of straw probably to thin.

Once you use the flame to melt the straw move your pliers directly on the heated part and squeeze together to get the melted parts to meld together.

I've seen these used a lot. But I've never seen anyone show an easy way to open them without having to have scissors or knife handy. Is there a way to make them that allows for an easy way to open them without tools? If you need to open it really quick - honey for someone whose glucose has tanked, cayenne for someone having a stroke, etc. - it would be good not to need tools, or strong teeth to open.

The honey have a expiration day... From México
@oldtimerlee8820

+Rut Cakery Pure honey does not have an expiration date. Like salt or sugar, it lasts indefinitely, if properly stored. If honey crystallizes over time, heating container in a pan of warm water makes it liquid again. Pure honey doesn't have anything added to it. Some so-called honey, sold today is a combination of honey and other ingredients. Reading the label & trusting the producer is important.
