    This American hiker had to cut his arm off after an accident that caused it to be lodged under a boulder, he had to use a swiss army knife if i remember correctly... they're not that big of a blade...

    But although he was starving he didn't consider eating the arm :toetap05:

    Stephen King wrote a short story called survivor type about a guy stranded on an island with no food,
    so he began slowly cutting off limbs to survive :eek:

    I would probably die quickly. My mom always makes fun of me that if I was ever in a situation where I need to eat/drink crazy things to survive, I would die. I dont disagree with her.

    I'm not Doctor of Pissology or anything, but the question was "To Survive". I would think that there would not be a whole lot of nourishment to be found in it. I don't think it would hydrate you, or cure you of thirst.. It'd be kind of like chewing gum for dinner...

    Piss will rehydrate you to a certain extent, like KR said. At one point, once it's gone through enough times, it will lose value. This is how the sailors of old times got by.

    As for survival, I would do whatever it took. Survival is paramount to life, and I love life.

    I have drank my own urine many times by accident and several times on purpose... but for survival it would be dumb to drink urine. Its easy enough to make a still from found materials, piss in it, and collect the pure water later.

    I would not eat another human for survival. That's my limit.

    I'd probably drink my own piss to win a bet.

    Well I've drunk Budweiser... so......

    Actually Bud tastes ok , if a little nondescript.Its just ridiculous that they have such a problem with *real* Budweiser - from the town of Budweis....:rolleyes:


    Truthfully compared to the cookery I used to suffer that my mother did , I think drinking my piss would be easy.Isnt it meant to be really healthy too>?( some Asian medicine thing)

    I guess the only thing I wouldn't do is eat another human for survival man. I've had to drink urine before when I was homeless and stranded out in the middle of no where. Was the only thing close to fresh water. But I did boil it first. Oh an' I wouldn't eat my own shit. Not gonna happen

    Boiling it was pointless/counterproductive. Your urine comes out of you sterile. Boiling it would only concentrate the salts and evaporate off some of the good water.

    Well I didn't know that :D I'm not a man who bothers to know stuff like that. Simply did it as a safty precaution man.
