Yes. You just mentioned it. Details?
Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
"I don't have hobbies - I'm developing a robust post-apocalyptic skill set"
I may be discharged and retired but I'm sure I did not renounce the oath that I solemnly swore!
I had to google that...
from Wikipedia:
Bone wax is a waxy substance used to help mechanically control bleeding from bone surfaces during surgical procedures.
It is generally made of beeswax with a softening agent such as paraffin or petroleum jelly and is smeared across the bleeding edge of the bone, blocking the holes and causing immediate bone hemostasis through a tamponade effect. Bone wax is most commonly supplied in sterile sticks, and usually requires softening before it can be applied.

I had no idea my bones could bleed, or that i need a wax to make it stop.
well paraffin is not a softening agent for beeswax I can assure you of that.
sterile petrolatum would be a much better choice.
if it's cheap enough it could easily be made into a workable boolit lube.
