Thought this little history was interesting.

Drinking from it might be a little far fetched.

I was given the fishing  part of a survival  kit once a long  time ago, nothing really but a curiosity thing, but the flies looked like in the video and were poorly constructed, first fish would have mangled them, I think. Several survival kits listed here Interesting that some contain condoms. But also interesting is that some kits had gold coins and gold rings that could in theory be used to buy safety.

That link to the kits is a fun read.

Branched off it to the Speed Hook web.

Yeah, I had to laugh at the two Bandaids in the medical supplies that one had, things have never stayed on me more than about three minutes and never did anything to keep a cut closed or clean. Any cut that a bandaid will cover is too small for a sailor to even be aware  of. A guy falls out of a broken airplane in enemy territory and you give him a bandaid?

Maybe YOURS are, but @snagged in outlet 3 has "water containers" that can supply a town with a sizable population.  

When full I keep it in a bath tub.  50 gallon I think 😁

What keeps that little jet boat of yours from capsizing when you step into it with that thing?
