Uses for pantyhose................ men & women!

If you are heading out for a weekend camping trip or a disaster is on its way and you need to hoof it on foot to get out of dodge, make sure you always have a few pair of pantyhose in your gear.

It might not be a very manly thing to carry, and I get a few funny looks when I step up to the counter at CVS with a pair of pantyhose… but this is survival planning and you looking manly is trumped by being prepared.

Not only are these cheap to buy, but there are dozens of uses for them and they take up practically no space.

You can wear pantyhose as an extra layer beneath your normal clothes to keep warm in cold weather.

Use pantyhose to prevent bites and stings. Wear pantyhose under your shorts or pants to protect against chiggers, ticks, and other biting insects.

If you’re going to be trekking through water, wear them to protect yourself from jellyfish stings and leaches.

Stretch a pair of pantyhose over a “Y” shaped branch or stick and use as a skimmer or a fishing net. You won’t catch a 10lb catfish in this, but you may be able to pick up a few smaller fish to eat or use as bait for a larger fish.

Use pantyhose to secure bait while fishing. Place bait in the pantyhose and secure it to a tree or anything sturdy to keep from losing bait while fishing.

Use pantyhose as a pouch or bag to carry things.

Use pantyhose to fasten or bind things together instead of twine or bungee cords.

You can use pantyhose as a belt to keep your pants hiked up.

In first aid, you can utilize pantyhose as a tourniquet or to hold and/or secure a bandage or hot and cold pack.

Use pantyhose as a filter to strain any collected water.  The water will still need to be treated or boiled, but this first line of defense will help to clear the water of any large particles.

Use pantyhose to prevent blisters. Cut the feet off a pair of pantyhose at the ankles and wear them under your socks. They will help cut down on the friction between your shoe and your foot, thus reducing the risk of blisters.

Pantyhose look terrible on men, plain and simple. They were never designed for us. But the great thing about them is that they are extremely stretchy and most have a sizing guide so that you can take a guess at the size you should buy.

I’m not saying these should be worn on a regular basis, but in a survival situation the benefit of having those in your pack outweigh any blow that your pride may take when purchasing them.  And if you really can’t break down and buy a pair of them for yourself, I’ve even seen a few places that sell them in camouflage for the real manly man.
