The people who would buy this sort of thing would also probably buy dehydrated water. Scary thing is I'm sure we'll eventually see someone using one in the BWCA.

What gets me is that propeller looks like it's about 5 inches in diameter yet claims it will propel a canoe at 5mph. Not likely, maybe with a 20mph tail wind.
