C'est une question souvent posée dans les récits de survie — et la réponse est non, ou seulement dans des conditions extrêmement limitées. Boire son urine peut sembler une solution de dernier recours pour éviter la déshydratation, mais en réalité, c'est une mauvaise idée dans la plupart des situations.1. Ce qu'est vraiment l'urineL'urine est un déchet biologique, produite par les reins pour éliminer les substances que le corps ne peut plus utiliser : sels minéraux en excès, urée, acide urique, ammoniac, toxines, etc. En temps normal, elle contient environ 95 % d'eau, mais aussi 5 % de déchets. Si l'on est déjà déshydraté, ces déchets deviennent plus concentrés, et l'urine devient plus jaune, plus salée, et plus toxique.2. Pourquoi ce n'est pas une bonne idéeBoire son urine revient à réintroduire dans le corps des substances que celui-ci a voulu expulser. Cela force les reins à retravailler ces déchets, ce qui accélère la déshydratation plutôt que de la ralentir. En quelques heures, cela peut provoquer des nausées, des diarrhées et des troubles rénaux, aggravant encore la perte d'eau.En clair : c'est comme tenter d'étancher sa soif avec de l'eau de mer.3. Les rares cas où cela peut s'envisagerCertains manuels de survie ou témoignages d'explorateurs évoquent la possibilité de boire une petite quantité d'urine claire et fraîche, uniquement une fois, et dans les premières heures suivant la perte d'eau, avant que l'organisme ne soit trop déshydraté. Dans ce cas précis, elle est encore relativement diluée. Mais cela reste une solution de dernier recours absolu, uniquement si aucune autre source d'eau — même douteuse — n'est disponible.4. Ce qu'il vaut mieux faireDans une situation de survie, il est bien plus sûr de :Conserver l'urine pour la distiller (en la chauffant pour condenser la vapeur d'eau pure) ;Réduire la transpiration (en restant à l'ombre, en bougeant peu) ;Collecter la rosée ou l'eau de pluie ;Filtrer l'eau sale avec un tissu, du charbon ou des comprimés de purification.En résuméBoire son urine n'hydrate pas, mais empoisonne progressivement l'organisme. L'idée vient surtout de mythes de survie popularisés par la télévision, comme ceux de Bear Grylls. Dans la réalité, le meilleur réflexe reste toujours de préserver l'eau existante, et d'éviter que le corps n'en perde davantage. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Story 1: Another series of "No Kings" protests happened over the weekend, gracing the internet with a plethora of entertaining clips, but while some protestors were content with showing off their dance moves on the sidewalk, others took things a step further, advocating for and celebrating violence against ICE agents and conservatives. Story 2: Dr. Drew Pinsky, Host of ‘Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew' & Board Certified Internist, explains how the psychology of men and women differs when it comes to tackling major issues and the role that plays during the "No Kings" protests. Dr. Drew unpacks how these differences can reshape a society, for better or for worse, as more women are selected for religious and political leadership roles. Story 3: World-famous Adventurer and Host of ‘Man vs. Wild' and ‘Running Wild,' Bear Grylls sits down with Will to discuss a lesser-known aspect of his life: his Christian faith. Grylls tells the story behind his recently published book, ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told,' which describes the life of Jesus from lesser seen perspectives, before sharing how his faith helped him through some of his most treacherous adventures. In Final Takes, Will and The Crew debate an AI video posted to Truth Social by President Donald Trump, featuring the President flying an F-16 and dropping a ‘stink bomb' on a crowd of "No Kings'" protestors.

Joe Knowles' wilderness-survival demonstration had been a huge success, and made him famous. But he'd been dogged by rumors that he cheated. Now, a continent away, he was going to redeem his reputation with a second try ... in Oregon.

“93% Harry Potter and 7% Bear Grylls”. That's how Paul Watkins' website describes him.There are lots of other labels that could be applied too; Pharmacist, mountaineer, full-time dad, ultramarathon runner, motivational speaker and property developer.However, the one label that doesn't sit comfortably with Paul is “athlete”, which is difficult to appreciate when you consider his list of achievements.Paul has climbed major peaks on all 7 continents and competed in some of toughest ultramarathon runners in Australia and the world.Most recently, Paul competed in the 6633 Arctic Ultra; a 614km/380mi self-supported race in the Arctic Circle in temperatures ranging from -20˚ to -40˚ celsius (-4˚ to -4˚F) with an 80% drop-out rate.And not only did he finish the race, he won!There's an interesting theme reoccurring through much of Paul's story; he's often “failed” on the first go.He ‘failed' on his first attempt to summit Denali (the highest mountain in North America).I first met Paul in Argentina when we were on the same expedition to climb Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America - and also his second attempt to do so.And his victorious race at the 6633 Arctic Ultra in 2019 was his second attempt after he DNF'd 250km into this first attempt in 2017.And we discuss how on earth a self-confessed nerd won one of the toughest, longest, windiest and coldest ultramarathons in the world.Paul is a great storyteller and someone who has thought deeply about what it takes to bring the best out of yourself, and others.
This is the final week of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary. This episode initially aired a little later than normal due to some technical gremlins, which meant it didn't get a fair shake before the following week's episode came in and pushed it out of the feed (people love that fresh content, yo). And it's a particularly fiendish puzzle from Mike that also uses a hefty amount of learning theory. Mike pulled a sneaky on us and had us doing a team building exercise (le gasp!). The original recording was 2 hours long. So as a special treat, here's a re-edited version along with the puzzle debrief and additional commentary from me (Jamie). Grab a glass of warm urine and join us as we attempt to escape the desert with a surprisingly Northern sounding Bear Grylls. Will we select the correct five items to enable our escape? And what's with that Morse Code, anyway? Special thanks to Patreon supporters Rachel, Howlfin and Will for making this episode possible.

Picture this: You're a medical professional on a routine work trip when suddenly you're playing a real-life game of survival that makes Bear Grylls look like a weekend camper. Meet Tiffany Slaton, the dialysis tech from Georgia who accidentally became the Sierra Nevada's most badass temporary resident. What started as just another day at the office turned into a 24-day masterclass in "how to not die in the mountains." Tiffany didn't just survive—she MacGyvered her way through multiple blizzards, turned her medical training into wilderness wizardry, and basically gave Mother Nature a run for her money while rescue teams played the world's most stressful game of hide-and-seek. This isn't your typical "lost hiker gets found" story. This is about a woman who stared down hypothermia, outsmarted starvation, and somehow kept her sanity while trapped in America's most unforgiving mountain range. Spoiler alert: the mountains blinked first.
