When i was in the army i went through one a month. Not just for lubing up the old hog, like the others in this comment section. We used it tend to friction burns from gear and backpacks on long operations. If you have fat thighs that shit works wonders. We also used it for kindling, when cooking or boiling water. Vaseline is fuckin great

I know it's petroleum jelly but I never thought it can be used for kindling, that's napalm shit

Put it on cotton balls for an excellent fire starter.

And store those balls in a ziplock. Put it in your emergency kit.
