You may  have invented dehydrated water, but I first purchased freeze-dried 
water when  A-16 opened their then-new store on Mission Gorge in the late 
1970's. It came  in a one-liter poly bottle. The label
on the bottle had the instructions,  which read: "Open bottle. Jump in 
mountain lake. Drink."

(We didn't  worry much about treating water in those days.)

Actually, my latest Kickoff  marketing ploy does not mention that I invented 
dehydrated water, but I would  demonstrate it.  Just like I did at the PCTA 
annual TrailFest last February  at the Mission Inn in Riverside CA.
 
There are many people on this List  that can testify to my demonstration's 
validity and accuracy.  They were  eye witnesses at the gear seminar.  If I 
remember correctly, there were  around 160 people in the Gallery Room.  It was 
standing room only.  I  was a minor part of the seminar and on at the end, but I 
did demonstrate;  dehydrated water, snow cones anywhere on the trail, and zero 
weight water, plus  sub atomic gear weight (well beyond Extreme Ultra Light). 
 Just ask anyone  that was there.
