Survival Seuss Part 2

Survival Seuss...Would you, could you drink your Pee,
to prevent a death by misery?
Why yes you can; so here's the rules...

Please take note, like back in school!
1 pass, 2 pass, maybe 3, would be okay to drink your pee.
More than that and it's not great,
as your kidneys shut the gate.

Once they stop, that's not good
your body can't function like it should.

With no water, it's a fact,
your time will come, the deck is stacked.
If you're in a spot and with no kit,
Use what you've got, don't waste it.

Just remember it's mostly water,
But in survival do what you gotta'.

Drinking pee sure ain't fun
but it may buy time until rescue comes.

The Dirty Half Dozen Facts of Urophagia:
I hear it a lot from smart and dumb people: don't drink your urine to survive. Let me set the record straight. YES, 100%, YOU CAN DRINK URINE TO SURVIVE. Now, that outta the way, let me lay out the facts on when, how and why as most people who spew their opinion are not basing them on facts, I have a degree in Biology, was a Special Forces Medic (Jungle Doctor) and Medical Service Officer and Paramedic, so I have some science and study to back my facts and real world applications.

1) Many real world survivors drank their urine and lived. They likely got an extra day or two out of it and that was enough to get rescued.

2) Humans have been drinking urine (Urophagia) for thousands of years for both health (Urine Therapy) and fetishes (Urolagnia), even today, so no, it will not kill you.

3) It used to be thought urine was "sterile," but as science has improved, we've found trace bacteria, but if you're not sick with an urinary tract infection, it's safe enough to drink.

4) If you're in a survival situation and there is no other source of water or no way to make water safe, then drinking urine must be considered.

5) The main component of urine is around 90-95% water on the first pass. If you drink it then, you will be just fine.

6) If that is ALL you have to drink and you ONLY drink urine, over and over, that is where the issues can start, each time you drink another pass of urine through your body, the waste particles become more concentrated and eventually, they can block the filters in the kidneys and cause them to shut down. This is called renal failure and it can be fatal.

However, the human body has been known to endure far more than science says; the human heart, mind and will can never be fully measured. If it's all you got, and you believe it is helping, there is a good chance that it is.

If you can boil, distill or use some other way, great, but if not, just because folks quote the Army manual or others, do not confuse traditional opinion with scientific fact.

Finally, I present this as information for students of survival. Each person will make their own decision and live or die by it. I would hate for someone to die because they bought some generic blanket statement instead of using carefully considered and medically balanced info to make the best informed decision they can, when it matters most, for them and their loved ones. At the end of the day, you and you alone will live or die by your decisions. I hope this gives you one more tool in your bag of tricks to beat death at his own game.

Okay, that is all I have to say on that. I am not here to persuade anyone one way or the other, I am here to teach you HOW to think, not WHAT to think.

I wish you peace, prosperity, health and happiness.
Happy Survivalin'!
