Say Doc,

Got any extras that could be sprayed with waterproof?  Be kinda cool  having
one that said "Property of Atlanta Metro Hospital Morgue"  in big yellow
letters set up with two flex poles.  Good chance nobody'd  mess with you while
you were sleeping.  Maybe it could lead to a whole new line of equipment.  A
pack cover that was actually a medical waste bag.  A hydrator that was actually
an IV bag.  You get the idea. (as ridiculous as it is!)
