How to Drink WATER from a tree
 

This might come in handy: http://manageek.com/?p=11

It is cool.. but what if the tree leaves contain poison?

I just rubber-banded a plastic bag around my balls, stay tuned for tomorrows news :thumbsup

awesome! Thanks man

Doesnt matter, works on evaporation and condensation. Same trick using a different method can turn your piss into drinking water too.

Your knowledge is surprising me.. I have never thought of that. But back in our grand-grandmothers' time it often happened they used it to wash their face to look better... and some guys drank it. uhm, not my kind of drink.

This can also come in handy if you ever find yourself trapped in a elevator :1orglaugh

thats awesome. hope i never have to use it.

All kidding aside, I am going to test this tonight. Wonder if there is a difference between needle and leaf trees? :2 cents:

Wouldn't it be fun if you discover 14 hours later that your bag has a hole in it. :Graucho

Come on, it sounds like a great survivor tip :winkwink:

It works on evaporation as I stated and a greenhouse effect. You will get much less liquid out of pine needles than full leaves. Larger the leaves of the plant the more liquid you will extract.

Do not expect more than a few tablespoons max inside such a bag situation. Jars and syran work better. Or you better your odds if needed and use more than one collection system.

poisonous trees? or pesticide-laden leaves?

I have this asinine talent that allows me to retain a near infinite amount of typically useless information that is never really needed that often outside of such a weird place like gfy where any topic may come up.

Bad part is though that if something comes up that I do not understand or know I will then spend time looking it up and learning about it. Only though if it is obscure shit. My book shelves would make most say

That would be fucked :helpme

Anyway, I love these "survivor" tips. You just never know when this would come in handy. Also, if you can get the series "Man vs. Wild" on cable, check it out. I love that show.

Survivorman is better :winkwink:
He doesnt get to have a camera crew etc, so that means much more work

You do realize that his show is pure bullshit, right? Survivorman is the one to watch.

Did you see the episode where the dude drank water from elephant shit? Made me avoid milkshakes and chocolate drinks for weeks!:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I didn't know that. Thanks for informing me. So the Hawaii segment was bullshit.

After watching these I would venture to say it is all bullshit. Plus, he seems to look for excuses to drink piss.

That's quite the trick..I didn't know that

Why, it is a real cool talent :thumbsup I do enjoy your posts.. like of Gene's.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That is some serious ownage!

The guy probably went crazy trying to keep the locals in Hawaii out of the shot.

I barley ever venture past a bar in waikiki and have still seen much of that shit.

How does a con artist like this get a show on Discovery? Unreal. It sucks to think you're watching and learning something genuine to find this out.

that was interesting.

Damn, it's so simple (when you know it).

It can get very annoying. Often I find myself biting my tongue or not speaking out around certain people (dumbing down) so that they do not get the feeling I know everything which is something I do not want anyone to think. With some I can be my real self, however often people get the wrong idea or I rub people wrong since I can come off as a know it all or an authority on to many subjects.

hm, half a litre of water from 5-6 leaves??? I don't think so, you'd be lucky if you get like half a glass in 14 hours

Shit the video actually said that?

I have seen a few tablespoons caught in a bag or about a quarter cup in a glass jar. Nowhere near enough of what you need if your in that bad of a situation.

you are in the forest, lost. no food or water. where did the plastic bag come from? you forgot the food and water but remembered the plastic bag? or did FEMA drop it from a black helicopter?

This is an old aboriginal trick my gramps taught me when I lived with him in uranquinty.

That is pretty darn cool

Sadly you will often find liter wherever you go.

If your in the forrest though and dehydrating, you have much bigger fucking issues. Most anyone with some basic comon sense should be able to survive in a forrest, only big issue would be if it was winter time. Then water is not an issue anyways, it would be fire.

the Chilean special forces use a similar trick to distill their urine :)

interesting.. i'm going to try it

I am going to try it. but the leaves of the coconut trees are too far up above.

Ill try that too

Im going to try this next time Im out hiking in the summer season. I hate messing with a water purifier.

Well, I know after watching his show for the first time I found it to be rather odd the stunts he was pulling, and even came here to talk about it.

You can find trash anywhere.

Thx for the tip ;)
