Do We Really Need this Product?
We were looking through the current issue of Cabin Life magazine this afternoon and came across an advertisement for a P-Pak. I couldn’t help but wonder why I would ever want or need such a product. I went to the website in the advertisement to find out.
The following are quotes from the press release:
1. “he ThermaCELL P-Pak is compact, sanitary, easy to use. Utilizing patented LIQSORB®, a combination of an exclusive biodegradable pouch containing a biodegradable polymer substance that immobilizes bacterial growth quickly, urine is absorbed quickly turning it into an odorless, spill-proof gel that is nontoxic and waste disposal safe…”
2. “This unisex urinal is puncture resistant and has a spill guard, making it easy to use for all members of the family…”
3. “Hunters, who spend long hours in tree stands or believe that their prey can be deterred by the scent of human urine, will find this product to be incredibly valuable…”
4. “For campers who do not want to brave the elements in the middle of the night or when on the road, stuck in traffic jams, and there are dirty or no restrooms accessible…”
5. “ThermaCELL P-Paks fit easily in your glove compartment and can be used discreetly…”
Ummmm… I can say that in my 40+ years I can’t think of a time that I wish I had a P-Pak. Maybe now as I begin to approach the downhill side of my life I might have to get a supply.

great idea…bought one the second I saw it….beats slipping out of the tent in a snowstorm and less risky than my trusty Gatoraid bottle…
