Backpacking continues to be a very popular activity throughout North America and the world. Besides a compass, map, comfortable hiking boots and a durable backpack one of the most important items that backpackers need to survive is water and a way to purify it. Without enough water, the muscles and organs of backpackers cannot perform that well and lack of drinking water can make backpackers more susceptible to hypothermia and altitude sickness.

Expedition and X-Pack is a revolutionary concept in emergency water ideal for backpacking and all outdoor activities. Powered by forward osmosis and our unique membrane filter, the Expedition and X-Pack emergency water supply kit rejects 97% of salt and generates a lifesaving fluid containing 20% sugar while providing 480 calories per half liter.

The Expedition and X-Pack is a small, lightweight, portable water desalinator that stows away easily inside of a backpack or camping gear. Expedition and X-Pack boasts simplicity of operation: Inject one 4 oz grape syrup charge into the green port and fill the Expedition and X-Pack with saltwater through the red port. Nature takes over from there, osmotically drawing sweet fresh drinking water through the emergency water membrane filter while rejecting sea salts, bacteria, viruses and heavy metals.

Each Expedition and X-Pack emergency water kit contains enough syrup charges to produce 2.5 liters of water survival drink.

Additional charges may be purchased and the Expedition and X-Pack emergency water kit can be used over again.

During an emergency water situation while backpacking, hiking or camping reliability and simplicity are vital. The Expedition and X-Pack emergency water kit makes a perfect survival drink for backpacking and all outdoor excursions. Expedition and X-Pack filters salt water, brackish water, even muddy water or questionable fresh water and makes a clean drink. The key to the Expedition and X-Pack’s reliability is its ease of operation. Simply fill the emergency water kit's filter red port with seawater (dirty water) and squirt one of the enclosed syrup bottles into the green port. The forward osmosis membrane filter does the work for you. Pure water molecules are attracted to the electrolytes (sugars) in the syrup and they pass through the pores of the membrane. The pore size is 3-5 angstroms (0.3-0.5 billionths of a meter) so emergency water molecules can pass through and 97% of salts are rejected*.  Mud and all pathogens (viruses, bacteria, cysts) are also rejected to EPA standards. Purity levels of Expedition and X-Pack emergency water supply for backpacking are similar to costly reverse osmosis machines. Since there is no pumping, the Expedition and X-Pack emergency water kit never clogs and requires no energy to operate other than the osmotic pressure that the syrup provides. Safe, Simple, Reliable and an ideal compliment to your backpacking gear.
