Mark's response to Mike is not surprising. We had plain dental floss in some of our Navy aviator survival kits 25 years ago. Makes good snares for birds, fishing line, etc. Lotsa uses. Also effective in getting bits of snake skin out of your teeth. That was the same kit that included Charms --- the old fruit-flavored hard candy, and the small, square foil packets enclosing a rolled up latex cylinder, closed off at one end, labeled "water carrier". Guess if the candy was effective --- well, never mind. They <could> serve as water carriers if you could even get the solar still to work!
