Excellent article, I will never look at a condom as a one trick pony again.

Brilliant a worthy addition to any PSK

Very good article! I have a condom in my EDC/Survival Kit (for water).
Now I know more options to use it.

Other than a water carry(look for unlubed/spermicide makes else it will taste aweful) and a muzel cover the others IMO are pretty pointless.

 

[Big Stu 12]

I carry one in my Responce Pack, for many of the reasons in the artical.

The way I saw this on was it encourages thinking out the box, everyone talks about water carrying etc but with a bit of imagination....

 

[John Fenna]

I have carried one for years (in by first aid kit or PSK) ... not always the same one though and I have tried most of those uses except making a "Wilson"!
I have even used one as a phone protector while canoeing - you can talk through them fine but I do not know if they work OK with modern feelie screens...

Ummm.... where do you get ones that are unlubed etc? Sainsburys and Google shopping came up empty.

 

[Bushwhacker]

Flavoured ones make a good alternative to chewing gum.

Nato matchless fire sets, or drop bcb a line to ask who their supplier is.

Love the catapult idea with mini spears.

I agree that most of these uses are pointless. This all started with the book The Complete Walker many years ago and has of course been regurgitated ad nauseum. Any one of those uses could be better done with something else. Actually getting one full of water in a bush situation is danged difficult unless the water be deep and fast. I much prefer the traditional use

Had a look at the ones that go into the fire sets, they are labeled as Ultrasound probe covers.

Thanks, they available in packs of 144, I'll refrain from suggesting a group buy.
