Preparing for Sandy

I'm sure if you were to boil it, it would be fine.
The kitchen may not smell very nice after that, and your tea will never taste the same.

Not really...urine is mostly water but it does have waste products filtered out through one's kidneys.
Supposedly, urine is too salty too...but I'm not into golden showers so I can't say I've ever tasted it.

I dont know Bob, to do that, your near death anyway I guess:laughing: I have heard of people doing this to survive, but what about the ones that do it and say it's for their" health"?? Hope I never find my self in the position to make that choice

It is a big YUK...that's for sure but remember the Bonner party...they ate their dead to stay alive...so who knows what we will do to stay alive if the time comes....sure hope none of us are tested that way...

The ones I have read about were in the desert and near death.so they could not boil it..just drank it fresh and straight I guess....

Hi Brin, there seems to be consensus that bath water can be made potable by boiling. The confusion seems to be over the meaning of the word potable.
I'm clear on the meaning in the context I chose.

I was not referring to "bath water", whatever YOUR definition of that is, rather tap water in a CLEAN tub.

Definition of POTABLE

: suitable for drinking

from Potable - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

/edit - and along with all the other emergency supplies we should ensure we have some method to be able to boil water for sterilization.
