- AntonMoss, on 04/18/2009, -6/+152I'm surprisingly refreshed to find out that this isn't a funny or die video.
- dupems, on 04/19/2009, -2/+141Is it necessary to drink my own urine? No, but it's sterile, and I like the taste.
- moo113, on 04/18/2009, -82/+220***** Bear Grylls. Les Stroud all the way.
- inactive, on 04/19/2009, -5/+94Frank the tank! Frank the tank! CHUG CHUG CHUG!!!
- NJSlacker, on 04/19/2009, -10/+99come on guys, you've got to take them each for their merits.
so what Bear Grylls may sleep in hotels and *****. He's not faking what he's actually doing on the camera. He's out there doing "worst case scenario" stuff to let you know what you might have to do.
Les Stroud is the TRUE survivalist: it's just him out there. But cheese and rise, all he does is complain! - Mokshaguy390, on 04/19/2009, -15/+97Guys. The man's name is BEAR. That is all.
- TwwIX, on 04/19/2009, -2/+79Pfft! I once drank tap water.
- nathan43082, on 04/19/2009, -3/+63"But can't we just melt the snow and drink it?"
"No, Will, you have to drink your own pee."
"*****."
(snicker) - ryan83189, on 04/19/2009, -8/+57Seriously. You don't see Les jumping down 100 foot water falls and eating raw meat 5 minutes into the field. Les is a survivalist all the way, not to say Bear is not as great, but he doesn't show it when they are filming.
- Deepmist, on 04/19/2009, -3/+48If you do even half the stuff Grylls does you are probably going to break a leg and die. The stuff he does on his show should not actually be done by anyone. I watch the show like it's satire.
- Laminarcissus, on 04/19/2009, -2/+37Then turn it off.
- inactive, on 04/19/2009, -34/+69Bear Gryllis is to survivalists as Brittany Spears is to musicians
Les Stroud, on the other hand, is Led Zeppelin. - thefarside420, on 04/19/2009, -4/+37If you had boobies I'd squeeze them hard when you weren't expecting it. But if you told anyone what I did, I'll run over your dog. I've got my eye on you, buster.
- snapcase, on 04/19/2009, -1/+27The problem with Bear is he constantly demonstrates the WRONG way of doing things. So someone who ends up in such a scenario is going to remember him doing things that way. Like how when he was in the desert and found some eggs. He ate one raw and said "I shouldn't have done that but I'm just so hungry". That's the kind of thing that gets you killed.
Les demonstrates the way you SHOULD do something. Yes he sometimes he makes mistakes, but ***** happens, and it is never intentional.
Demonstrating the proper course of action is the best way to make sure someone is going to remember the right way of doing something. - ryanhayn, on 04/19/2009, -1/+25I bet he still would have survived without the urine.
- SilverBack101, on 04/19/2009, -0/+23.................creeeeeepy. >_>
- Laminarcissus, on 04/19/2009, -2/+25He didn't drink his own urine to re-hydrate his body, he drank his own urine to promote his upcoming movie.
It's still survival, but in a different way. - noots, on 04/19/2009, -8/+29i don't recall Britney Spears ever ascending Mount Everest.
or Les Stroud for that matter. - luckyphoenix17, on 04/19/2009, -0/+19Def Leopard is the band that has the drummer missing an arm...
- KMZbadger, on 04/19/2009, -0/+19It's so cold out today. Urine was a bad choice.
- Super6, on 04/19/2009, -3/+21That's because Les doesn't do ***** that would get you killed while trying to survive, he shows you skills you can actually use. Also, he carries all the film equipment on his own which is badass.
- Mikjryan, on 04/19/2009, -1/+18I'm Just Surprised so many people think this is the first time he's drank his own urine
- inactive, on 04/19/2009, -0/+14For those who don't get it, Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged was a minor character from Douglas Adams books, an immortal who goes about insulting every living being in the universe - in alphabetical order. This guy is doing that schtick, only on Digg, which is pointless as I believe the original Wowbagger confined his insults to sentient beings.
- Mokshaguy390, on 04/19/2009, -1/+15You have made a cuckold of me, Bear.
- embryoinbloom, on 04/19/2009, -0/+13Its sterile and he likes the taste.
- IllBeBack, on 04/19/2009, -1/+13Go here and turn it off:
http://digg.com/settings/viewing - centran, on 04/19/2009, -0/+12It is a very stupid idea to eat snow for hydration. It will lower your core temperature causing you to burn precious calories and speeding the process to hypothermia.
It is also a stupid idea to drink your own urine. If you could do that then that means you have a container to urinate in. If you have a container to urinate in then you have something to melt the snow in. - centran, on 04/19/2009, -3/+15Since he is on Bear Grylls show, I am going to have to go with he drank something that looked like urine for his upcoming movie.
- ChromaVita, on 04/19/2009, -0/+12A Semi-Pro.
- ohpohp, on 04/19/2009, -1/+12Bear Grylls isn't even the best British survival expert. Compared with Ray Mears, he's reckless in a survival situation when you need a clear head.
- NinjaPirateDude, on 04/19/2009, -2/+13BY CHOICE his real names Edward. Although he's still awesome.
- singleton, on 04/19/2009, -0/+11Once it hits your lips, it's so good.
- zyklon, on 04/19/2009, -0/+11Really? Go to just Massachusetts' mountains for a normal winter day and try to spend all your ***** body heat trying to melt snow for water. Idiot.
- zyklon, on 04/19/2009, -0/+10You should definitely stop posting.
- Megalomatthew, on 04/19/2009, -1/+11Todd! Are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with my urine?
- JasPruett, on 04/19/2009, -0/+9What jizz guzzler doesn't know the difference between Zeppelin and Def Leppard?
- fletchowns, on 04/19/2009, -9/+18Does the DiggBar ***** up the rendering on this site for anybody else? I really ***** hate that thing.
- etruscan, on 04/19/2009, -1/+10The last time we had this discussion and I tried to commend Grylls for his expertise (given the fact that he didn't disclose all the facts behind filming his show) I was buried into oblivion. If you learn to watch Grylls as entertainment (ie. this is not what you should do in a survival situation unless you're trained to do it) then it's fun and enlightening and in the right conditions, if you know what you're doing, Bear's tips can be helpful.
I'm Canadian, so I love Les Stroud, but Bear is an extreme survivalist, Les is a knowledgeable outdoorsman (more like Ray Mears). They're all different and for an outdoor enthusiast, they are all worthwhile taking note of. - pitdog, on 04/19/2009, -5/+14I like Bear Grylls.
- ECas123, on 04/19/2009, -0/+8Might wanna wash down that urine with some fancy sauce.
- teknomaker18, on 04/19/2009, -2/+10A healthy person's urine is about 95 percent water and sterile the first time around, so in the short term it's safe to drink and does replenish lost water. Otherwise you will most likely end up developing harsh blisters on your tongue from trying to eat the snow and ice after awhile. In such a situation a person cannot afford to lose precious body heat. Also I am not sure what part of the Arctic you have been in, but there usually isn't much plastic around in such an environment.
- inactive, on 04/19/2009, -1/+8you need a hug or a hand job buddy.
- cadam, on 04/19/2009, -10/+17So, you drink piss when you're in the Arctic instead of the abundant amounts of snow surrounding you?
And I've spent ALOT of time in remote Arctic locations. To be honest, if you're stranded in the Arctic and don't have anything for survival, then you deserve to die. Even a small piece of plastic can be used to melt snow, using your how own body heat. Oh, and if you were flying and went down water isn't your number one concern, staying warm is. And drinking urine isn't gonna help you. - NJSlacker, on 04/19/2009, -1/+8hey! You're right! You could use your own body heat to melt the ice!
Oh wait... - ChromaVita, on 04/19/2009, -0/+7Pee on it! oh wait nvm.
- jtt123, on 04/19/2009, -2/+8***** you they are both cool
- charlietuna, on 04/19/2009, -0/+6Hanging out in the wild for two or three days hardly qualifies as anything more than roughing it (and drinking pee or eating grubs won't change that).
The cast of Frontier House has it tougher.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/frontierhouse/ - charlietuna, on 04/19/2009, -2/+8Give Everest its due, but retired postal workers have climbed it already.
- CoreyTamas, on 04/19/2009, -3/+9I'm impressed by Will doing so well under those conditions and my hat's off to him. That having been said, if I had to choose between drinking my own urine and seeing any more of his movies, I say gimme a mason jar and a straw.
- heynow21, on 04/19/2009, -2/+7He should have just asked for some of the camera crew's water or gone across the street to the Taco Bell.
