alan_bateson Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Get a container of some kind, place snow in to it and melt it with your pee. And there you have a pee flavoured slush puppy. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetroKoro Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 When you are dehydrated and hallucinating, your own pee is going to look DELICIOUS. No, I haven't tried it. But I could definitely do it if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Silverback Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 You should not drink your own pee for any survival issues because it will only increase your dehydration as it is full of toxins that your body needs to get rid of. Why would you want to put those back into your body? Anyone inspired by fake experts who have changed their first name to that of an animal has been duped. If you want to drink pee just for the craic then be my guest but you wont last long on that alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logang Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 The abundant snow is great but you don't want to keep munching on snow or drinking the freshly melted cold water as it will quickly drop your body temperature in an environment where hypothermia is a real possibility. Maybe they will have a camelback type bladder hydration system that Will can wear under his coat to keep his water warmer, and maybe you can have a water barrel in your safe house and maybe...

Dalec Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Drinking your own pee, like Robdoar mention earlier, is a big no no. It can cause sepsis and all sorts of other bad things. If the survivor were going to drink anything it should be boiled snow. I mean it's winter there is snow everywhere and from the pre-alpha video he can start a fire; now all he needs is a pot.

Weevl Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Can you drink your own urine? Sure. It's definitely physically possible. Should you drink your own urine? No. Not at all. Yes the earlier post was correct in the water/waste ratio, but how many people are actually that well hydrated when they decide that urine is their best source of water (aside from Bear Grylls)? If your urine is dark and smells like chicken noodle soup, that doesn't mean that it's finally ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doniczkov Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 you could still boil it in one container and condense in other... to get clear water. If there was no water source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunglasx Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I don't think I can but it's also about the color of pee. If it's too yellow, I won't drink it. But when it's color is like water, maybe I can think about that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr-emulator-madmax Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 you could still boil it in one container and condense in other... to get clear water. If there was no water source.i've seen that on some tv show (can't remember which) so technically you might be able to do it, but thinking about it, who carries two water bottles plus tape around with them although in the long dark, i have seen a few plastic container bottles, so who knows, maybe the devs will add that idea hm now thinking back i remember the tv show, it was for someone in the desert, and the water evaporated from one bottle to the other in the heat :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastelander Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I read a few years ago that it's more beneficial to just hold it in, as your body resorbs the water from your bladder in a very dire situation. However, I suppose this is not an issue in TLD, considering there's more snow than any survivor can ever dream of melting and boiling off in a lifetime, and then there's also rivers and lakes and even a waterfall. This is pretty high on the top of my list of "Things you can do, but shouldn't.", along with eating my own leg when I'm starving and making clothes out of my own body hair.

Can't resorb water from urine stored in the bladder. Once your body's water is filtered by the kidneys, that's it. The only way for it to go is out as urine. Which I don't recommend drinking. It's amazing how many untruths - both innocent and dangerous, are actually circulating the Internet masquerading as facts. So I'd like to see such outlandish "facts" supported by actual articles from credible medical sites such as Mayo Clinic, WebMD, etc. Otherwise I'd just keep shooting them down as I see 'em. Nothing against you, @Wastelander, as the rest of your post is pretty much spot on. Such as - *looks down at own feminine body* - making clothes from my body hair? Riiight. That'll be a sure cure to boredom if I have to recover from hypothermia . . . but also a guaranteed set up for cabin fever OTOH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
