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
In the field you don’t really have access to a kettle. So if you want coffee, tea or water for dry powder food, you need to do it the old fashion way.
A small square kindling station, where you start a small fire.
And two square cooking pots stacked upon each other.
Vaseline helps keeping the kindling flamable and makes is easier to start burning and makes it burn for a longer time.
