Re: Survival Kits
Hi SASless,
Thanks for your comments. Your list almost echoes the kit we carry..with the exception of the condoms and the AmEx card.
When I used to fly in a green uniform we too carried condoms. Their advertised use was not only as 5-gallon water carriers but also to prevent the leeches from crawling up the old urethrae in swampy terrain. (In the high northern latitudes I believe they could still be used for some protection from that old ‘whore frost’)
I wonder what the current view is regarding the inclusion of condoms in a survival kit now that we are in the PC age of the female heli-pilot.
As to our knife, well I suspect even you would be impressed!
Jimgriff, marco & oldbeefer,
Thanks for your advice too which I am following up.
