FARGO, N.D. - s4story -- In extreme heat, ice disappears. Power grids fail. Water quality becomes uncertain.

Cold water melts. Clean water becomes questionable.

A North Dakota startup says that shouldn't happen.

FrostSkin has launched a Kickstarter campaign introducing what it calls an active hydration system engineered to chill water on demand while integrating advanced 7 stage filtration with optional UV C sterilization.

Not a cooler.
Not insulation.
Not passive.

An active system built for heat, distance and instability.

Designed for oilfields, wildfire zones, disaster response and remote terrain, FrostSkin claims to lower water temperature without melting ice while helping make freshwater sources safer when infrastructure cannot be trusted.

Cold is comfort.
Clean is survival.

"Cold water shouldn't disappear when ice melts," said the FrostSkin team. "And clean water shouldn't depend on perfect infrastructure."

The campaign is now live on Kickstarter with limited founder pricing and capped reward tiers.
