I was reading Doctor Strangelove trivia, and apparently as is said in the movie, survival kits really did have nylons in them. Why would they include those back then?

There’s a popular magazine where I live that has a section for reader submitted “hacks” and it’s kind of infamous for how many of them utilize nylons in some shape or form.
I’m quessing it’s not for any single purpose but rather a light and multifunctional item.
When I was a kid we had this magazine for kids, Kamrat-posten, and they explained you could do a lot of things with a nylon, you could, apparently, use it as a fan belt if your cars fan belt broke, and other things I don’t remember.
On a side note, what I do remember is their survival kit for kids (like for going into the forest) included condoms, super good if you need to carry water apparently.
Unlubricated condoms are very effective for waterproofing things.
And preventing teen pregnancy I guess.
