The Deadshot Starter Pack
Your body can't hold onto water without salt. Drink plain water and most of it goes straight through you. That's not a marketing line — it's just how your kidneys work.

The whole idea, in one picture
Scientists took two groups of sweaty people and gave them the exact same amount to drink. One group got plain water. The other got water with salt in it. Then they measured how much each group actually kept.
Plain water
kept
Water + salt
kept
Plain water: they kept about a third. Water with salt: they kept about three quarters. Nearly double, from the same drink.
So if you've ever chugged a bottle of water and been in the bathroom twenty minutes later still feeling parched — that's this. Nothing was wrong with you. There was just nothing in the water to hold it there.
Why it matters
Thirst shows up late. By the time you feel it, you've already lost a step.
out of 10 adults are dehydrated right now.
Not "a little thirsty." Actually measured, in a national health study of nearly 10,000 people.
of sweat and your focus starts slipping.
That's a hot afternoon or a normal gym session. Focus, memory and mood all measurably dip.
extra heartbeats a minute, every minute.
Your engine revs harder for the same work. It's why the last hour always feels worse than the first.
Fifteen seconds
One stick. Cold water. Shake. That's the whole routine, whether you're in a blind at 5am or in traffic at 5pm.
What shows up at your door
Made with HydroJug®
The real HydroJug® Traveler — we partnered with them and had it laser-etched with the Deadshot mark. Triple-wall stainless steel. Fill it with ice in the morning, there's still ice in it at lunch.
Fifteen single-serve sticks. Real coconut water and Himalayan pink salt. Tastes like a piña colada, minus the sugar and the hangover.
Head to head
Sweat isn't just water. Five different minerals leave your body with it. Here's how many each brand actually replaces.
Per stick. Every stick. No proprietary blends.
And we do it with zero sugar. A bottle of Gatorade has 30 grams — about as much as a can of Coke. DS Hydro has none, and five calories total.

The part most brands get wrong
Half this category is competing to see who can cram the most sodium into a packet. LMNT packs in a full gram. That's not a better product — it's just saltier.
What actually matters is how strong the drink is when it hits your stomach. Too weak and it doesn't hold. Too strong and you're just eating salt.
Mix one stick into 8–12 oz — a regular glass, not the whole 40 oz jug. That lands right in the range the research supports. Drink that, then top off the Traveler with plain water and keep sipping.
Run your own numbers
Drag the sliders. This is a rough estimate based on published averages — but it'll get you in the ballpark.
How to use it
Tear one stick open. The pouch of 15 lives in the truck, the pack, or the desk drawer.
Into 8–12 oz of cold water. A normal glass, not the whole jug — that's the sweet spot.
Lid on, straw down, shake. Then top off the Traveler with plain water and go.
One stick a day covers normal life. Two on a hard day, a long hunt, or real heat.
What people say
Collected and verified independently by Shopper Approved. 99% of customers rate Deadshot 4 or 5 stars.
"Delicious, clean, effective product! Whole family loves it! Excellent customer service. Reliable deliveries."
"This is by far my favorite flavor. I wish I would have ordered several packages. It is quickly becoming my go to drink instead of just water."
"Very refreshing! I love adding a splash of mango or strawberry. It mixes well with other flavors!"
"This colada breeze is really good, it is definitely my new go to flavor."
"Supplements I've had from Deadshot have been great, excited to try the Raspberry Lemonade."
"We love their product! The taste is amazing."
"Easy navigation and great products."
No questions asked. No restocking games, no "was the pouch opened" runaround. Try it for a week. If it isn't what we said, we'll make it right.
One a day covers normal life. Two if you're out in real heat, on a long hunt, or training hard. For context, the average person sweats out just under a gram of sodium an hour, and one stick puts back 500 mg — so a hard two-hour day is genuinely a two-stick day.
No. You lose electrolytes just living — heat, stress, even breathing. Nearly 4 in 10 US adults are measurably dehydrated, and most of them aren't athletes. With zero sugar and five calories, it works fine as a plain daily habit.
Colada Breeze is pineapple and coconut, sweetened with stevia and built on real coconut water powder. No artificial aftertaste, no sugar crash. Our most common review is some version of "this replaced plain water for me," which is the one we care about.
Because what matters is the strength of the drink, not the number on the packet. Mixed into 8–12 oz, 500 mg puts you at 61–92 mmol/L — comfortably inside the range the rehydration research supports. Doubling the salt doesn't double the benefit; it mostly just tastes like the ocean.
It's built for daily use — non-GMO, gluten free, no artificial colors, no stimulants. If you're managing blood pressure, kidney health, or any medical condition, check with your doctor before adding a sodium-containing supplement. That's true of everything in this category, ours included.
Yes — tree nuts, from the real coconut water powder. It's gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. If you have a tree nut allergy, read the full ingredient list on the pouch and check with your doctor first.
Yes. We partnered with HydroJug directly — this is their genuine Traveler 40oz, laser-etched with the Deadshot mark in a duck camo finish you can't get anywhere else. Same hardware, same insulation, same warranty-grade build. Not a look-alike.
Top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing keeps the camo finish looking right. Don't freeze it, don't microwave it. Store the sticks somewhere cool and dry.
Yes. The bundle comes with Colada Breeze by default, but you can swap the 15-pack for Alpine Berry, Orchard Peach, Lemon Ice, Paradise Punch, or Raspberry Lemonade using the dropdown up top.
