    Drinking your own pee will end up dehydrating you faster, contrary to how confident Bear Grylls is in it being a decent strategy.

      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 Bear Grylls has a fetish and managed to fool people into thinking it was a survival skill.

      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.
