    Just about anything can have multiple uses. It's when people bring along a wheeled cooler or inflatable air mattress that the number of uses goes down.
    What else could you use a condom for? honestly.

    lol, think about it. Unlubricated gives you many options:

    water carrying container
    pillow (blow up, tie shut)
    cover your rifle barrel end
    small solar distillery (fill will green vegetation, seal, lay out in sun)
    flotation device
    sling shot

    I've got quite a list going here

    i dont think you'll distill any measurabe amount of water in a condom, and it wouldn't make any useful slingshot, would make an extremely fragile pillow but the rest are pretty good.

    also, you could use one as a glove for handling certain plants, such as harvesting nettles for food or cordage, clearing poison oak/ivy from a camp/sleeping area, for a tournicate, but it may prevent you from getting any navigational aids...

    I think I grabbed slingshot from a previous post, but I rethought the distillery idea and the only way would be to blow it up like a balloon... but then how do you get vegetation in there? lol good call

    Use a condom if you have a finger wound you wraped a bandage around, Put the condom over it and tie the bottom to keep dry
