i don't use condoms for water carry either, wenn the latex overcome the pressure from the water ( wenn the botom is to high compaired to the end ) it will press all the water out in very little time. I can't seam to untie tied of condom either. you can NOT fill a condom with a gallon savely, lets keep it on 2 pint/1 quarter/liter. I use ziplocks in mine smallest kit too. I heard that there are other uses for condoms, which ziplocks can't: to make some kind of valve with a iv needle wenn you have punctured a lung ( unless you know how to do this and are trained, please DON'T ), a non stick layer to prevent bandaged from sticking to burned skin ( uh.. medics any info on this ? ), you can use it to suck up water with a straw and you can use it as a bungee. but there are beter, MUCH beter alternative's for these purposes ! A ziploc outperform condoms in keeping things dry.
i think ranger rick has a pic of him drinking from a condom... can't seem to find it
