Answer:

It absorbs water very well. It doesn't seem like a particularly good thing to dehydrate someone though. Salt would be much better. Absorbing the water from vermiculite might make it last longer before liquefaction. It would also make the barrel seem full, not by weight but by taking up space and being full. Vermiculite is very light and non reactive.
it would absorb the blood so the barrel would not leak
