Did you know that there’s a type of charcoal that’s favored by preppers for its survival utility? (h/t to Survivopedia.com.)
Also referred to as activated carbon, activated charcoal is generally charcoal that has been processed further in order to remove some of the material to make it more porous. At the same time, it is infused with oxygen. As a result, the charcoal is generally more reactive, but still safe for use with certain medical treatments.
Preppers love activated charcoal as it has many benefits and uses. Like the regular charcoal, activated charcoal can be used to start fires. However, it will not produce the same kind of smoldering coals from normal charcoal because of its exceedingly porous nature. It is also a good marking tool, which can be applied in different ways and surfaces. It can be used for writing notes or as camouflage. Here are seven more reasons why preppers love it:
The uses of activated charcoal has been known throughout history. Ancient Egyptians used it for cosmetics and medical ailments; the ancient Greeks recommended it for medicinal purposes; Native Americans used it for skin infections, stomach problems, and rituals; and Asians used it to whiten skin, unclog pores, and remove impurities and dead skin cells.
