Yep, won't be trying that anytime soon unless the dart is arrow like and starts beyond the hand in the first place.

As a combat photographer in Viet Nam, we used them to seal film to prevent damage for mold, and fungus. No longer need them for film, but they do make a good waterproofer still. It was a hard sell, when the wife found a gross of them in the film bag.

At one of the outdoor centres I worked at we used to fill them with water and put them in a victims bed - they jump into bed, the condom bursts - big laughs!
We al got paranoid about our beds, checking them carefully ... so the jokers got to the point of filling them to the point that they could not be toutched without them bursting and foolk got to tipping their matressesto get rid of the "bombs"...
It is amazing how much water fits into a condom - several liters if you are careful and fill the last bit with a syringe while the condom rests supported by a couple of pillows...

This taught us all good security and spotting skills and thief trapping techniques (we even got to putting selotape over the door so we could see if it had been opened (none locked), talc on the bare boards to show footprints etc) and counter measures.... might save my life one day!

Great article. Never thought about how many uses they had. Only thought about water storage.

Excellent article!

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

??Don't you run the risk of shooting the dart into your hand

this was my first thought, I don't fancy that idea much, id be more thinking along the lines of
Dave Canterburys SLING BOW (just youtube it) a much safer and more deadly idea.
copping a barbed dart in the hand or wrist and it could be game over.

I must say the Bushcrafters around Stirling are an untidy lot, the woodland car park down by the river is littered with the things from them practicing. I don't know some folk.
