For campers or hikers, a pill bottle can be transformed into a compact fire starter kit. Fill it with cotton balls or dryer lint and petroleum jelly to create a highly flammable material. Steps:
Coat cotton balls or lint with petroleum jelly.
Pack them tightly into the pill bottle.
Use as tinder to easily start a fire when outdoors.
Additional Tips for Repurposing Pill Bottles:
Always clean the bottles thoroughly to remove any medicine residue before using them for a new purpose.
Label each bottle, especially if you have multiple repurposed bottles for different uses.
If using the bottles for food storage (like spices), consider using a food-safe liner to prevent contamination.
