The foil is carried to shape into a cup to collect rain water and then to drink from. Though there are plenty of streams to drink from here in Southeast AK. some of it cannot be trusted so I also carry a few water purifuication pills and the aluminum cup should work to hold it the required 30 minutes. I also carry a bigger survival kit behind my seat that backs up my smaller kit on my PFD. I carry in it some chemical heat packs (liquid rather than the popular powder kind.) in case I am wet and cold. Hopefully I will never have to use it.
