Did anyone see the australia episode tonight? Bear drank his own pee. Not cool. I love the show. Bear is a crazy dude.

I didn't catch all of it, but I love that show. One time he peed on his shirt and wrapped it around his head to stay cool. Dude is a bamf.

Bear rules!

I don't watch a whole lot of television but that show rocks!

bhayes_09 · 07-07-2007, 12:43 AM

Haha I watched it for about 6 hours today.

saw it for the first time ever tonite (yeah, i know, apply badmouthing here ______). that dump-him-in-the-Rockies-and-make-him-outrun-the-bear episode was insane!

Cyclone62 · 07-07-2007, 02:05 AM

that rockies one is on again right now!

I think the rockies one was one of the first. He acts different in that one. He adds more drama about being alone. Its still a good one.

It's an alright show. I think he adds too much drama to the situations by his choices. One time, in Africa I think, he absolutely had to climb up this hill to get a better look at the surroundings. He could have walked around and climbed up the gradual incline, but instead he scaled up the 90 degree angle part of the mound. Later it showed him walking down the gradual slope of that mound.

Not only did he drink his own urine, but they showed it repeatedly and at length.

I had to get up and leave the room. My gag reflex was in overdrive.

But unless he walked all the way around the hill, he wouldn't have known that, and if it was the same on the other side, that would have been a waste of energy.

How many times can you recycle yoiur own urine? Three times? Four? Good to go for another week? I doubt he had much urine to give if he was getting dehydrated.

I've heard 5. Not that I ever want to test that theory.

I heard that associated with the guy who was stuck in the canyon in Utah with his arm trapped under a boulder. Eventually, he cut off his own arm. He drank his urine and I believe he had said he knew 5 times was the max.

My favorite show to watch on Friday Nights. The urine drinking reminded me of this:

Patches O'Houlihan: "Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? ...No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste. "
