Sooo...do you have a condom in your bugout bag...?

No. No condom.

If society breaks down and a good % age of mankind is destroyed you'll want to spread your seed.:jerkit::thumbup:
 
Well, I wouldn't have thought to get serious responses to this thread. I had intended it more as a little bit of light entertainment - and seem to have mostly succeeded :D.

But to address the serious comments. There is actually a big advantage to use a big ballon over a small magnification lens. A condom can be blown up to a ballon of easily 8" or more, with a very large curvature. The large diameter and large curvature will collect a lot more sunlight than a small magnification lens. The technical term for this is the "numerical aperture" or NA of a lens, and you would have lug around a pretty large lens to have comparable NA. The solution here is of course a Fresnel lens: Cheap, light and can be made pretty large.

Ok, back to the much more entertaining innuendoes :D.
 
This has been thought of before. Has anyone else here seen Dr Strangelove? The pilot of the plane (Slim Pickens) is reviewing their survival kits:
Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

I have some non-lubricated versions that I've stuck into a survival kit or two. Mainly for water collection and/or transport.
 
My Father told me when I was younger that they were issued non lubed condoms as part of their jungle survival kits in Malaysia during the 60's. He said they were for water carrying, and to keep the leeches off their old fellas!

Sounds like a requirement for a porno gig :p

I read a tip about using a condom for water collection/transportation that made sense. It said to use the condom as a liner in a sock. Seems like a good idea, less chance of the condom breaking when filled up. I've never heard of using one filled with water to start fires though. I have a whistle/compass/magnifying lense combo that I keep in all my packs and kits but the little plastic lens sucks for trying to start fires. I guess it would eventually work, but even here in Phoenix in the summer it was difficult to get it to really work. I keep lots of bic lighters and petroleum jelly saturated cotton balls around.

Never stopped me before. You gotta do with what ya got ya know. I'd take a hot zombie over half the women that have agreed to jump in the sack with me in my life. lol
 
I keep a non-lubricated condom in my PSK and my BOB. I have them as backups for water carring and firestarting. And I actually had to explain to my wife what I wanted them for. "But, honey, they are for my survival kits." :D

udtjim, what kind/brand of heavy duty latex ballons do you carry?
 
I have a 12 pack of EXTRA LARGE....in case I run into any bikini photo shoots out in the wild....chicks dig, big bushy beards and knives...:D
