dehydration/rehydration TABLETS

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Preparation Forum : One Thread

I'm still in the process of putting together my first aid supplies, so I read the list of contents whenever I see another first aid kid offered somewhere. Every now and then I run into the mention of dehydration/rehydration TABLETS as one item in a kit, and I wonder where to find such tablets.

I've printed out all your helpful recipes for rehydration salts/electrolytes, but I'm wondering if having some tablets wouldn't be useful in a pinch anyway.

But I don't have a clue where to find the tablets or what kind of price might be reasonable.

Along the same lines, is it worthwhile to have some of that powdered Gatorade in my supplies?

Ideas? Thanks!

try some gatoraid or similar sports drinks. get a few packets and keep in the first aid kit. it'll help rehydrate and restore electrolytes.
