Drinking your own pee will end up dehydrating you faster, contrary to how confident Bear Grylls is in it being a decent strategy.
Sometimes it annoys me when I both need to pee and am thirsty. Like, damn you body, why wont you just keep that water for other stuff i need instead of wasting it on producing pee.
This is a joke, I know peeing is important.
I think Bear Grylls has a fetish and managed to fool people into thinking it was a survival skill.
But if you're lost in a desert you should rub pee on your skin to conserve water. (I'm not kidding that's a real thing.)
I think even Bear admits that it should be an absolute last resort. Like a "well I'm like 99% sure I'm dying in the next ten minutes, why not?" sort of situation.
So I'm gonna die anyway, but with the taste of piss in my mouth? Fuck that.
soooo. your not going to finish yours?
you're*
