The vacuum-based design is way to heavy to take with while backpacking or on expedition. An ultralight design like this would be okay, but it would be better if it were dual-purpose.

If it is stiff, perhaps it can be used as a support stay in a backpack?

I’d like to have seen a photo of it in flat pack form too.

They already make these, however instead of being inflatable, they're vacuum based. http://www.merginet.com/index.cfm?pg=products&fn=Econo-VacSplints
