Default Compact Hand/Face Towels

I had gone through our survival cabinets to inventory everything and check expiration dates and thought this may be of interest to some. They are actually pretty sturdy once they open up and we used one several times to see how durable they are.

They come in packages of 200 from Amazon and were fairly inexpensive as well. Saves a ton of space and also great for camping or whatever. I've included a picture of the size they are in their individual package and then once adding a drop or two of water you'll see it in the video.

Before adding water:

Yep I’ve had a package of these on the boat for years. Great space saver and work fine. Haven’t learned the extent of their shelf life yet. My pack was bought in 2015 shortly after I started living on board.

I’ve got a bunch I bought over a decade ago. Still haven’t used them.

I have some of those too. Needing liquid to expand makes it hard to use when you have no liquid. Oops!

The small size is good, but the edc possibilities are very limited IMO. Can't clear out your booger holes with a tablet much less any other areas of interest.

Kids like them.

If you don't have liquid I would question your load out choices for where ever you may be.

Sorry, I don't carry a bottle of fluid for edc in my pocket "load out".

I do carry a microfiber face cloth for nose wiping, so...
Works better than cotton. Air dries quickly and very absorbent. Very pocket friendly for edc "load out". Re-usable and no limited life span.

Do some T&E with the expanding wiper tablets and you'll see what I mean.

I have those in my camper. They work fine. I use them when camping. You can also dip them in alcohol and use them as fire starters.
