hold yak and condom

Post by jeff »

i just had a brain wave. if you carryed a condom in the yak and you developed a hole. you could put half the condom in the hole and blow it up. this would cause it to bulg on both sides of the hole and would inflate to the same shape as the hole and seal the leak. i recon it would work they are fairly strong :wave1:

So I get home from fishing and my wife of 25 years finds a condom in my wallet, "I use it for pluging leaks in the yak, honestly :shifty: "

could be worth a try Jeff, :up:

I dont think it would work. The pressure on the condom would be equal to your weight and the weight of all your gear i think. would be an interesting experiment though.

Problem I see is wheather the condom is used for its original purpose, or to pug a hole in a yak, if it gets a hole youre stuffed either way :evilgrin:

I think what you meant to say was: "Whether you use it for its original purpose or to plug a hole in a yak, a hole gets stuffed either way"... :lol:
