Drink Your Own Pee - [survival guide]

Step 5 Drink

condensation will build up overnight or throughout the day.
the water droplets build up on your cone-shaped cover
until they get heavy enough to drip into the cup below

this will allow you to survive another day in the wild or the ghetto or the desert...

if you have ample amount of dirty or salt water i suggest the "LifeStraw"


and remember...
pets need clean water in emergencies too!

The ghetto? Seriously? Why not just walk up to any persons house and say, "Can I have some water?"

There is a much easier way for things like this, Survivorman purified salt water, you need a container with water in it, a cup in the middle, then you cover it with something, preferably clear, (like seran wrap) and then you put a rock on the plastic, over the cup. The sun will evaporate the water, it condenses on the plastic, and drips into the cup. ALSO, you can just drink urine straight away, just don't let it sit before you do, or it goes septic. But if you pee, and then drink it straightaway, you're fine.

the system Survivorman used is based off of a solar still. fyi

Life straw will NOT FILTER SALT from water, it will purify saltwater, but it does NOT DESALINATE. Go with a few solar stills (yes a few, like more than 2) per person. Did I mention that if you drink salt water through a lifestraw, as your only source of water, system you will die?

I'm quite famiiiar with this method and it generally doesn't yield much when used in an environment where it is necessary to use such methods to collect water. There are better ways to collect drinking water and this should only be a last resort. Also you shouldn't drink urine.

I think this is a good idea, but a bit unclear to me. I dig a hole to fill it again and then use the bag to make a smaller hole inside that? In the picture it appears that a cup makes its way into the mix.... I want to learn this, since it may come in handy very soon- I live on a coast....on hurrican away from oblivion. :(

Yeah, I agree, it wasn't totally clear. Like the bucket came out of nowhere for me - in fact, is that a bucket? It isn't mentioned in the instructions. I think building a makeshift one would be clearer.
