If you were stranded in the desert, no town for 200 miles, no water

Would you drink your own urine to survive? I mean look at it this way: You drink it and you could die from possible toxins... yet you don't drink it and you die a slow, painful, sticky throat death under the sun to be eaten by buzzards...

I dunno if I would. But if you didnt have anything to put the pee in youd have aim for your mouth..

Urine is sterile and can be consumed once without any detriment. Don't drink piss from already drank piss though, it has no more value to the human body.

people may say they wouldn't, but i'm sure that towards the end, they'd be takin it in gulps.

Solar stills, cacti, ect.
I'd have a problem knowing if a cactus was poison though, I don't know which ones are safe.

Drinking urine will further dehydrate you. it would be best to collect dew.

i've got another one:
if you had to chose between killing your mom/dad/both, and allowing 250 innocent, upstanding citizens perish, which would you pick?
i think i'd go with the people, but in the heat of the moment, you never know

yeah I guess Id drink my piss if I had to, but there are lots of ways to get water in a desert depending on what you have on your person. Personally I wouldnt be 200 miles from civilization without some sort of gear. If ya got a tarp and a cup you can get water pretty easily, at least enough to get you through the 200 mile hike... painful though it may be. Its all about the will to live I suppose.

I would make a filter from pebbles and sand and then pour the piss through it and collect it in a cup or some other kind of a container.

What most people don't realize, is that when you're in such a situation as described in that scenario, your urine rapidly turns into a very dark, almost thick type of piss - and at a very scarce quantity. So, in reality, you'd get a negligible benefit out of it.
You would be better off slitting your wrists and sipping blood from it. At least you'd die quicker.

I have learned alot by reading this thread
Including
1) Only drink your pee once... after that you get to die 2) Aim well so you don't piss your face 3) Enjoy the savory taste of your pee 4) Don't get lost in the desert 200 miles from a town
