The Survival Enema

I wonder what the folks on the resort beach 100' behind the camerman thought of this?
 
It was probably just some old coffee from the camera boat. Do you really think he'd put...

I doubt it, seriously.
 
I can't watch his show.

But, I am actually rooting for the guy, maybe he will survive long enough to stop being an entertainer, long enough to do a real survival show.

And, bless his heart, he sho' do take it to the limit.

If only I was like 10 or 11 again, I would really like his show.

Grylls missed an opportunity. He could have saved the water to make a good broth.
 
I don't get it. If he was that thirsty why not drink his own urine like he has done in the past???

Yeah. It bypasses the digestive system and enters the bloodstram directly.
That's how suppositories work.
Grilled Bareass should jump out of an airplane without a chute for his next event.
He'd probably land on his head and therefore, survive.

Actually there is absolutely no reason this should NOT work since digestion is compLETed in the small intestines beFORE the food reaches the Colon. The idea is that whatever particles of potentially harmful bacteria from dirty water you pump into your ass stays in the Colon where it belongs just waiting to be shit out again while the water, hopefully only the water passes backward through the Rectum, Sigmoid Colon, Transverse Colon, Ascending Colon and the Cecum. As you can see, there is ALOT of Colon to travel through before any toxins reach an area where you may actually digest it and take it into your system. The water however, hopefully enough of it should make it through to hydrate you. Of course, I would only attempt this if I were in dire straights with no hope of being able to purify water to drink in the normal fashion.
 
i would never want to do this but that is one of the fastest way to get rehydrated. i am not sure as far as the repercussions as to using dirty water.

i personally saw it work on one of my soldiers in iraq on a hot august day. the medic tried sticking him a couple time (a new doc but still decent) and it was just blowing through his veins since he was so dehydrated. doc said well this isn't work and its taking to long. he then proceeded to stick the tube in his ass and basically step on the bag. the PA when we got back basically said it saved his life. if you got no choice i suppose it will save your life but its not something i want to ever have to endure

Do you think he'll crap out his mouth?
 
Ok guys, I'm sry, but even if I'm dying on a raft at sea I don't think I'm shovin wet birds#@t up my a$$ just to get a few more minutes, maybe hours of life. Besides i'm still not to sure you might not get a nasty disease/parasite by doing that even if it's far enough down your digestive tract so that supposedly only the water is absorbed. i've never seen the guys tv show, but I was watching the tonight show with Conan when he came on the show. i was at first interested as this was an alleged survival expert I wasn't familar with but guess what story he choose to relate to the national audience to describe his show. Thats right....birds@*t up the a$$. After that i figured he was just a clown and lost interest. Also thanks for the people that posted link to the clips of the enema at sea, but I won't be watching. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in any/all survival knowledge, and if he'd merely described this technique as a last resort in extreme circumstances, he might have my respect, but to actually do it for the show in front of the camera crew is just a stunt, and in bad taste at that. Also before I changed the channel the guy was describing how he often made mistakes and wound up with bad diarrea, only so he could describe taking a crap while hanging from a cliff of course. But my understanding is that diarrea in a survival situation is dangerous, lots of soldiers used to die from it on campaign. It can dehydrate you quickly and even kill you. I don't like the idea of a survival instructor that advises extreme measures that can put you even more danger when it's not necessary. To all the fans of this guy, no offense intended, but I think I'll keep listening to Ray Mears and Les Stroud instead. I've had my doughts a time or to about Les, but i can never see him doing something like this. :barf: :rolleyes: :thumbdn:
 
This type of Hollywood shock value based "survival" teaching is dangerous, misinforming, misleading, and completely irresponsible. I am absolutely amazed that the Survival and medical community has not risen up and backlashed against that ******** moron and the network and demanded they pull the show.

This is about as polite as i can write this.

Don't watch his "Lost at Sea" episode then (apparently it's Episode 9 based on a quick Internet search.) Les talked about this two years ago (or more) on his show.

Just FYI.

This one might actually work. There is a danger of tearing or cutting tissue (from sticking a tube up your butt) and that can lead to infection which would not be pretty. But, as others mentioned, the idea behind the colon accepting water and preventing intrusion from pathogens is pretty sound from a physiological standpoint.
 
I've got to go watch the Survivorman episode but I think Les said that he could use salt water and the colon wouldn't absorb all the excess salt but the memory's not what it once was...

Man, that guy just get crazier by the season. Its as if the suits at Discovery put their heads together and say "What can we do to shock people more than last year??"

I still watch the show, but its not much about survival and more about grossing people out.

Dont know if a survival enema is a realistic thing, but id have to be pretty deperate before id even contemplate it.

No.
I'm crazy.:cool:
He's stupid.:jerkit:
 
Where did he get his hands on that tube. Did he find it before he came to be on the raft?.




Kind regards

Bear has progressed beyond his urine fetish, (drinks his own pee, pees on himself etc etc), guess his fecal/anal fetish has now taken over, lol.
The thing is what will come next for Bear?
Perhaps self-cannibalism? lol.
Ever read that Stephen King short story about the guy stranded on a tiny island with a suitcase full of cocaine?
:D
Edit: oops it was Heroin not cocaine

All joking aside, yes, it will generally work. The risk of infection is not as bad as you might think. Think about it for a moment. Your shit is largely composed of nasty stuff that you could not ingest orally. Your colon evolved to do exactly what is called for: extracting water from waste material.

Of course, there's entertainment value to be had from this survival scenario. But if you have to do it, what kind of jackass would refuse? I mean, what's more embarrassing, administering an enema so you could survive a desperate situation, or dying because you couldn't get over the indignity?
