    Jim, from what I can gather, Hydration Technologies has developed their
    products for military use. It was a story about that use that led me to
    discover the potential applications for us. Seems like they're just now
    exploring other commercial applications.

    The SeaPack was designed to fit into the survival kit of pilots who might
    eject over water and be injured when they land. They needed a hydration
    solution that did not require pumping, because the pilot might be unable.

    Seems to me to be a reasonable alternative with decent shelf life, and very
    low price (as compared to a RO pump system).
