Jezebel magazine suggests a tampon for your survival kit: http://jezebel.com/5917477/the-swiss-army-tampon-a-life+saving-wilderness-survival-tool tampon for your survival kit.

I don't question that, if you just happen to have a tampon, you can use it. But at the end of the article they suggest even guys carry one because it's such a great survival tool. When I pack a kit, the question is not "is this good", but "is this better than the other options".

So: Is a tampon better than the potential other options for tinder, silt filtering, wound dressing, and cordage?

Would a tampon be a good addition to a survival kit
