    Wish I did.

    I just found out about turtlepac myself. Whatever you learn, keep me
    posted, please.

    Querying turtlepac themselves is possibly a good place to start. Surely
    they have references from someone who has relied on their product for
    rescue. If they don't, I'd wonder at their competetence in any regard.
    On the other hand, they may be so new that they don't have any such data.

    They must be expensive as hell since they don't brag about nor post
    prices :-)

    Cordially,
    Courtney
