Or two beautiful, lonely ladies out in the middle of nowhere...or any number of professional cheerleaders.

You either need one or the other?

I ran across a few lonely, usually drunken housewives when I was a paperboy. <shudder> No thanks.

BTW, one method to carry a water-filled condom is to remove a sock and carry it in that.

And it adds a dandy "flavor" to the water. Socks are a part of my survival gear. I always carry at least two pairs when out in the backcountry. One to wear, and a spare pair to wear if I'm forced to spend the so that I'll have something dry. Water in conjunction with something I depend on for thermal regulation doesn't sit well with me. I always carry a couple of bandanas. I would tie the bandana into a hobo style "bindle stiff" for transport. Of course if one has enough socks or a spare shirt sleeve or pant leg, those can work well too. Also a watch cap or something of that sort can be a good carrier (if you don't need it to stay warm that is!). I usually carry two caps (one light, one heavy), so "sacrificing" the lighter one isn't too risky.

Not really. I have a little tiny . . .




foot.

Its included in some commercial kits. Consider it a backup. It's not in mine, though, because I agree that there are far better options. Also, in an ejection, ditching, capsize or escape situation, your gear tends to get dumped, lost or stripped away, and all you might have left is a tiny, last ditch survival kit tucked away deep.

BTW, if a sock is "half your clothes" you've got other issues with your outdoor kit. And thanks for the visual. ;-)

One is not 100% effective, hence the need for the other...

Too true. As always, redundancy is a rock solid survival principle.

When everyone is done with the locker room humour try doing a site search. Forum members tested condoms.aquarium fish bags and other ideas way back in 2001 and came up with some interesting results.

Oops . . . Sorry.

The search function here seems to go back only 3 years max. Could you clue us in?
