Getting By On Only Water!

[MarkJames]

A human can get by with only water for up to three weeks, as long as you get plenty of rest.

The safest options is to always look for running water such as springs or streams in isolated areas!

I agree with that idea. But I would still prefer to boil it before drinking.

[shinningstar]

I doubt if water from spring or streams is still purely clean to the fact that there many illegal dumping of garbages nowadays. I still prefer to drink purified water.

I agree with the both of you. But he is saying when there is nothing around, and you need to survive. He is saying the best water to drink would be in an isolated area. Thanks for the tip, I didn't know you could live that long.

What about that theory that if you can't find water anywhere, and you have to recycle the liquid coming out of you?

i think that could be pretty toxic, unless you're able to sterilize it somehow.

[bedeliavelez]

Your right. To avoid sick. Water is very important to us... So dont waste it.

I think the salt would make things worse. It's probably like drinking sea water. You are better off not drinking it because the salt will only dehydrate you faster.

[periphrastic]

yeah, from my knowledge, you can drink your urine ONCE before it becomes toxic to you

[nomad]

to drink your own urine, you have to pull a "survivorman":
you can only drink it after it has undergone a rudimentary distillation process.
