Eew...

Drinking pee to survive is relatively mild. Stories of survival are not for the faint of heart. Have you read the novel Moby Dick? There is a survival story behind it. The True-Life Horror That Inspired Moby-Dick | History | Smithsonian

Wow @CWK that was a great read!

People will do what they must to survive. The pilgrim's first winter is also a story of survival. American settlers 'turned cannibal'

I carry one of these whenever there is current. Hopefully I can get picked up before dehydration becomes a real issue.

Good thread title.

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink . . .

Suppose there's a compelling reason for a dive buddy!

Clarification on my earlier post where I mispoke, the blowing air into the container is only needed if it's hard walled. Squeezing or sucking water out of soft walled bladder/bag doesn't require displacing air.

I've not had difficulty with any normal water bladder system underwater. Bag n hose works nicely.

I use a 70 oz. Camelbak unbottle, CamelBak | UNBOTTLE 2L Insulated, Versatile Hydration Reservoir Sleeve, strapped to my cylinder and route the tube down the inflator hose. It works like a charm.

Absolutely.

From Moby Dick:
Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began.

Consider all this; and then turn to the green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!

BTW, from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner can be interpreted to be about cannibalism at sea.
