Most of us would never think of it, but condoms are a vital survival tool. Even though it's likely you've already packed a few in your bug out bag, you may want to consider packing more. You never know what kind of bind they can help you get out of!

Light, compact and very flexible, they can be used for dozens of survival activities (including what they are intended for).
