With all of the tumbleweeds in the desert, couldn't we attach water bottles to them in case someone gets lost?

Or maybe gene mod them (when we advance far enough) so that the have a water reservoir in the center.

You never know, the life it saves may be yours!

       [po], heavy water bottles might also be used to develop nuclear weapons...

       My luck mine would come with a message inside.

       instead of message in a bottle... its a message in a tumbleweed! so much more practical for those who are landlocked... and cheaper too.

       [phundug] you'd need to make those water balloons (ok, a water balloon like container)... otherwise the water would fall right our
