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?

    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.
