    Bag balm edc help !

    This stuff is the best I have ever used for cuts and abrasions also to 'heal' tattoos ;)
    My friends in Alaska swear by it to keep their lipps and face from cracking (it's non toxic ,)
    My only issue is the container opens very easily and it can be a real mess above 70 degrees .
    It's in a ziploc bag most of the time and it does not fit well anywhere in my many EDC carry bags ..
    Any suggestions about what I can carry it in as an alternative ?
    I have seen refillable tubes that resemble toothpase tubes made out of plastic with a clip on the end to full them but they are way to big for this..


    BE WELL .. GH

    Be carefull using it on tattoos. it can cause your skin to break out in gnarly zits/ingrown hairs causing color migration and scaring. It has happened to me personally and quite a few other people I know.

    Thanks Rquagliata, but after many years of ink this is by far the best I have ever used ..
    The trick is to apply very little so the wound can actually heal ..
    If your timely about it the tattoo will never scab and it will look fresh for years to come ,)
    The Eye tattoo is over 4 years old and on a place that would normally wear/fade hard ! The image does not do it justice, it's bright !

    The text was a single needle job that needs to be touched up because the guy was in a rush .. Long story ..
    I'M PAYING HIM A VISIT SOON ..

    My wife reuses empty Carmex containers for her lip gloss, it would also work for this.

    They make that stuff a few towns over, in Vermont. It was intended for the udders of cows - then people who milk cows discovered how it kept their hands smooth and supple. Now more people than cows use the stuff.

    This would work, too and would be easy to fill/access.

    Love the Bag Balm...wouldn't have a FAK without it! For blisters, heat rash, chaffing, it can't be beat! My stepdaughter when she was a baby got a nasty rash and the doctor gave us some cream that did nothing. My wife's great grandmother put Bag Balm on the rash and within a few hours it started to clear.
    I got one of those multi pack of camping containers ....Coleman I believe..and there's one that's a small jar with twist top that I fill with Bag Balm to keep in my EDC...works great.

    I've even used it on my dog when she chaffes because of her harness.
