Why Tea Bags?

OK Here is my two pence worth: Gurkhas love Tea. They even brew up in very in very hot places like East Timor, Brunei and God forsaken Belize! The question as to if tea should be witheld because it acts as a diuretic is answered by saying if you have the means to stay hydrated one cup of tea in the morning and one in the afternood should be ok. If you are Dehydrated do not begin your rehydration by drinking tea. Best Tea to drink? Scottish Blend from Tescos Cheers !
 
Saw a recent medical report in the news saying that mild diuretics like coffee and tea pulled far less fluid from an adult who's used to 'em than they thought. So if you're already a coffee or tea hound, it makes no nevermind if you're drinking a diuretic in the wilderness. Have a 'brew up', hydrate a bit and get yourself a pick-me-up, it's the European thing to do. 'Cause let's face it...European pretty soon anyway, no matter if you drink tea or if you drink water.
 
One of the few comforts a British soldier gets on a regular basis is a "brew". If anyone can get the tea bags from the MOD ration packs,it is quite good and it comes in a foil sealed bag. So brew up and sort yourselves out! Cheers!
 
The British Army's whole stress management system works on tea.
The difference between a mad dog and an Englishman, out in the mid day sun, is that one is drinking a hot cup of tea.

Tip: After cooking, your mess tins's bottoms are black. A hot soggy tea bag will clean them in no time.
 
don't forget one other thing... tea is also an appetite suppressant. I found this out for myself firsthand when I was still a student. I got 'hooked' on sweet tea while at school (you know how it is, one day you wake up and have a craving for sardines and peanut butter) and I went for a week without eating anything solid... just drinking sweet (it was damn sweet though) iced tea that the lady in the scool canteen would make. I'd have one in the morning... anothre at break, then one more at lunch, one more at tea-time and grab another cup before I went home in the evenings. One of those dumb teenager things I guess...

I hadn't realised it at the time but I was practically detoxing myself. I lost a couple of kilos and was wondering why I had no appetite to eat... otherwise I felt fine. I think the sugar in the tea kept me going but in the long term I could have gotten pretty sick with some deficiency or another. But as it was only for a week (my mom told me to knock it off) there weren't any ill effects.
 
Robert Humelbaugh is famous for getting as many tea bags as possible. Whether he has just a few to nuzzle with, or multitudes to help keep him warm, or just a single one to rub all over his face, Rob's perfectly at home with a tea bag.

You often can find him remarking on the quality of various tea bags he's encountered, from large to small, or taste testing a new tea bag and giving his opinion of the aroma, bouquet, frothiness, and density of the beverage it produces.

Never a day goes by when Rob isn't out looking for more tea bags, truly he is a man dedicated to his passion.

When it comes to tea bags, Rob's your man!

Ah the tea bag.

Kevin is of course not only the master of the teabag, but a purveyor of teabag apparel for the mens fashion industry. The disturbing part of this is his absolute refusal to wash or launder previously worn teabag wear. Of course this is so he can capture the "essence of teabag" on his already teabag coated loins (shudder with disgust) so that later he can rub himself down with succulent goat meat.

I am sickened, of course.
 
Ahhhh, thank goodness the teabag expert is "weighing in" on this thread. I'm eager with delight at learning how Robert selects his teabags - whether by taste, weight or feel alone, how he judges which ones are suitable for an outdoor adventure, and which ones should be used for pleasure alone.

Tell us, Robert, do you prefer a quick dip for your tea bagging? Or do you advocate a long soak? Do you let the tea bag dangle after you are done using it, or do you attempt to dry it for later re-use? I've heard you've had great results with the larger tea bags from South America and certain Middle Eastern countries; how do they compare to the tea bags you've tasted from Central Asia?

Some people have mentioned dehydration while using the tea bag in a survival situation; I can certainly see how that would apply as you seem to be covered in a fine sheen of sweat when demonstrating the various techniques in your video's. How do you fend off the dangers of tropical diseases while experiencing the tea bag?

Also, which tea bag goes best with succulent ham and goat meat?

Enquiring minds want to know!

(Sorry for hijacking the thread folks!)

A well thought out reply, oh master of Testiculi. Unfortunately my humble knowledge of teabaggery is greatly eclipsed by YOUR voracious appetite of hanging bags of man gravy.

Why is it the gently swaying sacks of wrinkled man juice occupy your thoughts so heavily, like the dipping and retracting tentacles of a satiated Portuguese man-o-war?

I am humbled and awed by your command of the subject, obviously learned during your time in the service of the Turks as a towel boy, running from wrestler to dripping wrestler, sponging the sweat of their exertions into a clay jar so you can savor it later in the privacy of your cubicle, dreaming of BIG HAIRY SACK!
 
There is nothing AMBIGUOUS about SPARK!!!!
 
Alas! I am disgusted by your gutter minded diatribe, you foul latent-yet-obsessed closeted individual!

Here I thought you would enlighten us all with tales of your tea bag exploits... how you'd cunningly used them in all sorts of survival situations from baiting traps to collecting water and you respond with such vulgarity?!?!

Clearly many of the other readers of this forum share an active interest in tea bags, how to properly collect and use them, and are eager for instruction on their practical application, yet you've turned this "thirst" for knowledge into some cheap innuendo laced rollercoaster. I'm shocked, appalled and disgusted, and am sure that despite your amazing knowledge of the tea bag and its uses, you will eventually learn that this is a forum for the seriously survival minded.

For shame! For shame! And here I was going to approach you with a revolutionary Tactical Tea Bag Holster design made of kydex, nylon and adjustable Chicago Sex Screws. I can clearly see that I'll just have to take my business elsewhere.

Kevin
 
I concede to YOUR shameless love of the topic, as evidenced by your aforementioned holster design! (although I'm sure an "aged leather finish" on your rig would do quite well)
 
How can one not love the tea bag? The warmth, the aroma, the succulant nectar resulting from a tea bag dipped for just the right amount of time...

Robert, you must regal us with the stories of how you learned the ancient art as a young boy in the Greek isles, traveling from teacher to teacher until you were virtually drenched in the subject matter. Tell us how you grew to love the tea bag in all its shapes, sizes, and flavors... and how you became quite the conisseur of the varieties found only in the darkest jungles. Amuse us with the delightful tales of your tea bag adventures and what you have "brewing" right now....

Kevin
 
'Enough, no more! T'was not as sweet as it was before!'

Arrgh... visions of hairy naked Turkish wrestlers dance behind my eyes along with drenching Greeks!
:barf: :barf: :barf:
... I need a cup of tea after this...
 
Since the thread's been hijacked anyway....

2 married couples are staying at a bed and breakfast, the younger couple are on their honeymoon. The older couple, alas, are barely on speaking terms after 40 years of marriage CQB.

Both couples come downstairs for breakfast together. The newlyweds are giggling and enjoying themselves. The older pair are growling at each other. The younger man says 'Pass me some sugar, Sugar' to his wife. Later she says to him 'please pass me some honey, Honey'.
At this, the grouchy geezer says to his wife. "Pass me the tea, bag."
 
I wish I had all the time you two poofters had to E-screw each other on an otherwise legitimate forum...Im calling a 100 tea loving Gurkhas up now to hunt you down and ensure the world that you never sodomize again....
