So, I tend to treat my prep stores the same way I stock my herbal medicines: you don't need to know the uses of 100 different herbs, just 10 different herbs that do 100 different things.
Some of my multi-purpose preps are:
-Baking soda: toothpaste, general housecleaning, cooking, deoderant (with coconut oil), stings/bites/rashes, odor absorber (shoes), fire extinguisher
-Dr Bronner's Soap: body/hair wash, toothpaste, general house cleaning, laundry (with baking soda)
-Coconut oil: cooking, skin/hair care, sunscreen, deoderant (with baking soda), antifungal/antibacterial for wounds
-Fem pads/tampons: obviously fem needs, also first aid (nose bleeds, puncture wounds, large wound dressing), water filter.
*As a side note, these things (like baking soda as toothpaste) are things I use everyday... another of my prep "requirements". I try to store only those things I'm used to using/eating anyway so that a SHTF scenario isn't made more stressful by a new way of living/eating.
What are some of your multi-purpose stores?
