The highly saturated sugar/syrup packet draws water from a less saturated water source (mud puddle) thru a perforated membrane where the perforations are large enough for the water molecule but too small for any contaminate.

Used motor/gear oil was/is often used. I can't imagine why somebody would still do that but I've seen it sprayed down in recent years.
Also used is magnesium chloride and calcium chloride (non petroleum/oil based),
Lignin sulfonate (non petroleum/oil based), Soapstock (non petroleum based)...
They won't try to pave it, ridiculously expensive and as mentioned a maintenance nightmare.
What they will use if required is some type of spray on biodegradable binding agent that'll hold the road down for a few months.
It'll require an old beat up water truck that the boss will drive up and...
Having used Ubuntu/Mint as my families primary desktop and Debian as my GIS/meteorological workstation for the past couple years I find your setup to be pretty darn awesome. One of these days here soon I'm going to snag an old Compaq TC1000 and mount behind the dash for just this purpose.
I used to deal with this a lot in a previous career. Then it was related to the streams itself. We'd put in a temp bridge (retired railroad flat car) or some blocks. Keep the fallers equipment a certain distance from the water and so on.
I'd imagine this'll spawn a new industry of degradable...
Pampered Chef Smooth-Edge Can Opener
Cuts differently than most. Cut edge is not sharp and you can put the lid back on the can after opening. Won't camp without it now.
I threw my last Subaru away @ 312,000 miles. That's probably the exception but I hear it's not uncommon either.
We're in a similar situation and starting to look at Foresters. I wouldn't hesitate to get one at 150,000 miles. Especially if the head gaskets and timing belts were done. Replace...
This might be the thing that swings me to an iPad. One of the guys in the office has one and the form factor is great but the inability to load my own maps keeps pushing me away from it.
The GIS software I use exports GeoPDF easily so if the app can record/display basic tracks and waypoints...
It's the ice under the snow that these tires aren't so good with. I didn't get mine siped and am thinking maybe I should have. It felt a little silly to spend days driving around in the mountains only to have to chain up when I hit the highway (to be fair it was a bad ice storm and it was hard...
