Will Ferrell's appearance on the show should be good for a few laughs.
Should we expect to see Les on Dancing with the Stars anytime soon :eek:?

Washington, Apr 24 (ANI): American actor/comedian Will Farrell was forced to drink his own urine to survive his expedition on the Discovery Channel’s Man vs. Wild.

The show’s host Bear Grylls went on a two-day joint expedition with the comedian in the Swedish hinterland.

Armed with only the most basic survival equipment, Grylls took Ferrell through the paces of real life survival in the ice-bound mountain and glacier ranges in the far north of Sweden.

Farrell, who participated in the show to promote his adventure comedy, Land of the Lost - what it takes to find food in the forests, had to drink his own urine and munch on reindeer eyes to survive the tough journey.

“To be able to participate in an episode of Man vs. Wild was a thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine-drunk which is sad,” Usmagazine quoted Ferrell as saying in a statement.

“Will did an amazing job in sub-zero, very unforgiving conditions,” said Grylls.

“He trusted me when it mattered and we survived. And he has definitely had an adventure! He should be very proud of how he performed,” he added. (ANI)


The episode is scheduled to air in early June.

I'll definitely watch it, should be hilarious! As a side note, I hear Will has his own survival knife coming out now that will cost $999.99 and looks just like a Mora
 
It's nice to see that even celebrities are interested in this whole wilderness survival thing :thumbup:.
I would find it difficult to believe that anything will be staged or faked :D.
 
I find it funny that no one is telling Bear to NOT drink urine. One of the best conspiracies ever.:cool:
 
Okay: I kinda get drinking urine in a waterless desert environment. even though every survival manual including the SAS guide which bear should know, say not to. Whatever I suppose some argument could be made.

But if you have Ice you have water, there is no reason to drink urine.

Do you think mabey Bear just has a fetish?
 
Maybe lemonade? "Hey, Bear, this lemonade looks just like urine. Grimace when you drink it to show that you don't like it, but you're tough, so you can take it. You know, do some acting."
 
It still will be interesting to see a "regular" guy out trying to survive in the wild.

No there isn't any reason.

The only time urine is valid to drink is when you are not dehydrated, at which point you don't need to drink it. So yeah, if you just pounded back 10 beers and need to take a leak - go ahead - good stuff.

As you become dehydrated, your urine gets more and more concentrated with salts and nitrogenous wastes. It doesn't take long to reach the maximum osmotic gradient that can be achieved by your kidneys. After that your body cannot resorb any of the water out of blood. In fact you are introducing the very excess salts your body was trying to excrete causing a hypersaline condition. Don't forget, you continue to loose water via perspiration so your situation is rapidly degrading with time. All you are succeeding in doing is taxing your kidneys more by introducing more salts and nitrogenous wastes to your blood. You will generate nervous system artefacts related to salt balance and dewatering of the cells in your body responding to the hyperosmotic gradient created in blood.

Now if you drink the urine of another dude not dehydrated, that could be sustaining :D
