Condoms for EOTWAWKI?

[Steelman]

Serious. Discuss.

 

[paddling_man]

I'm. For. It.

Don't be silly, wrap your willy.

I dunno. No running water...half the people you know are dead......? How long does it take to be amorous in a situation like that?

Once everyone adjusts to smelling like 1876, I think they would rank pretty high on the daily (or monthly for the married guys) needs list.

im fixed so no worries there....... guess its just the STD issue.

Probably one heck of a trade item. Thinking of 1 Second After where every virile woman under the sun was getting knocked up because of no BC. Have to store them in a very cool place and uhhhh... "rotate your stock".

For it, theres a reason the military issues them in survival kits for pilots......

 

[repeter1977]

as stated, they are issued in survival kits for a reason. You can use them for so many reasons. Collect water, in Vietnam they were used to keep water out of barrels. Just like so many items, the number of uses is only limited by your imagination.

 

[themadmedic]

Agree with above. Other than their intended purpose they can be used for a variety of other things.

Pinch and pull.

In a total lack of hygiene scenario I think STD's will run rampant. That is if you manage to get lucky.

Condoms are sterile and will stretch without tearing. Perhaps they would make good bandages.

Along with the miniature combination "roosian" phrase book and Bible.

One of my all time favorite movies.

This is a no brainier. Of course if you us them now why wouldnt you use them in hard times?

Dont spray and pray isnt just good advice for ammo conservation.

Aside from that, lots of other uses. Latex tourniquet, barrel caps, bobbers for fishing, ext.

 

[williamnewman1]

stock , lightweight , not quite as many uses as duck tape but a close second or third

 

[XDLover]

Yup, good idea to have them. Push come to shove, you could use it as a rain hat.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

They're no longer part of Army Aviation Survival Kits; haven't been since 1973 anyway. We used purpose-made water bags (which had a higher capacity) and with the advent of the hydration systems, just about everyone carries their own water in some fashion.

Good if you need a Zombie "Quickie"!
