Survival... or Suicide?
Ugh. I can't watch any more "Man vs. Wild."
Bear Grylls always rubbed me the wrong way. But when I see him advertising drinking one's own urine in order to stay hydrated... I know that he really hasn't got a clue. He's a reckless menace.
Urine is about 98% water, and the other 2% are toxins that one's body is trying to excrete. Incidentally, those toxins are good as a cleaning agent. You want to drink that? It's bad for a similar reason that drinking salt water is bad. It's poison. Coincidentally, when in a survival situation where one is having issues staying hydrated, they are probably sweating. If they're sweating, they probably aren't producing much urine.
Bear is going to get someone killed. I hope no one actually depends on him for reliable survival techniques. Because they'll probably end up dead.
Unreliable information when one needs reliable information most irritates me. Discovery needs to post a friggin' disclaimer at least. Since most people aren't put in survival situations every day, they may not know when they shouldn't do something. What Bear Grylls says may weigh more heavily on a person's mind than their own common sense.
I can't blame anyone else that has been in survival situations for being irritated with him. He taints our honor and cheapens the challenge that nature represents.
Feh. I digress.
