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?

    Nylons would be too tight for mosquito netting.

    But my first thought was a prefilter for water.

      I don’t know how well this would work but was thinking that it could be stretched over a rigid structure or cut and sewn into useful places. If nylon stockings are what I have and mosquito netting is what I want, I’ll figure out a way to do it.
