jbug 17146 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-21-09, 03:28 PM (EST) "Dehydration" I think I mentioned this somewhere, but I can't find it (maybe I'm dehydrated and confused ) But, with as much rain as they had, why have they not been able to stay hydrated? Is rain water not safe to drink? Can't they used coconut shells to catch rain water? I know they don't have fire cause everything is too wet. What am I missing? Tribe shakes me   Top

"RE: Dehydration" OFG already directed you to the appropriate thread over on Spoilers... but here is the gist of things again. Next time it rains at home, try putting out a big pot and see how much water collects in it. Typically you won't get more than an inch deep in the pot, unless it's an extreme downpour. Now, you've got 9 Galus in one camp and they don't have containers to trap all of the rainfall, just the one pot that I think they have in camp, and the coconut shells won't trap that much water. It's certainly nowhere enough to provide adequate drinkable water for one person to survive for more than a day or two, let alone 9 people. They'd be lucky to fill one coconut shell each more than halfway in one day, and half a coconut shell isn't enough to keep you adequately hydrated when you're also not getting full nutrition through meals at the same time (many foods have water in it, don't forget). It's one thing for a native to go without much water for lengthy periods of time as they're used to it from birth, but it's another thing to throw a bunch of people who are used to getting full containers of bottled water any time they felt like it onto an island that has little potable water in the first place.   Top

Safety-wise, if you don't drink anything from the first 30 minutes of the rain and can collect it in a safe container rain water is reasonably safe. Generally if you are going to collect what you need for a few days from a rain storm for one person you need a large collecting surface that will not pollute the water. So something like, maybe a tarp or other large piece of plastic, and that assumes you have something to store it in. Just letting it puddle in the open and get stagnant will unsafe it pretty quickly. If what you collect it in is contaminated then the water needs to be boiled or filtered before you drink it.   Top

"RE: Dehydration" So, just standing under a tree with water dripping of a leaf is not gonna do it for me, huh? Okay, so I get it - sorta; but I'd still be trying to get a few drops in me rather than sitting inside a structure getting wet anyway. hummmmmmmmm, sitting under one of those drips with my mouth wide open; I could do that Thanks guys   Top

"My bad" I had not read all of the weather thread in Spoilers http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/7236.shtml but now I have. Great information there! This one could be locked. But there may be some peeps that will read here that do not venture into spoilers. Whatever   Top

"RE: Dehydration" Somehow none of them ever think of stepping out in the rain, throwing their heads up, opening their mouths. Kinda funny since the main casting requirement seems to be opening their mouths a lot. ARRRRRRR!!!!   Top

jbug 17146 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-23-09, 09:15 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Dehydration" I couldn't help notice one scene shown last night of someone in the shelter and rain pouring in a steady stream down right in front of their face! Yea, maybe it wouldn't be exactly clean but I woulda been lying right under that with my mouth wide open! I got to thinking too about RusSwell. His group had eaten very well. Steaks, sausages, etc. Did they get anything liquid with that reward?   Top

Really really stupid!!!   Top

sittem 4186 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 10-24-09, 08:51 AM (EST) 8. "RE: Dehydration" I just want to add a little perspective from a hot, tropical climate in Senegal. It's always critical to stay hydrated and if you are not conscious of that and working at taking water regularly it's easy to get dehydrated. That would be especially true with it being rainy and your primary discomfort is wetness rather than being hot and thirsty. While you might be ok under those conditions a quick change to sunny and humid will just totally sap you of all energy and put a major hurting on you if you haven't been hydrating all along. I think that's what happened with the challenge. Since Russ wasn't adequately hydrated it all went downhill quickly. The mind does strange things in a competitive situation like that. I've been there and you want to deny that there's a problem, but suddenly you lose consciousness and then all reason is gone. I'm sure all these guys are well equipped with info on staying hydrated. It's just that the mind and thirst just don't keep up with the actual need at times. I think I need to go have a drink. 2002 IceCat Originals, Inc. All rights reserved.   Top

"RE: Dehydration" If it rained for over 24 hours straight, the kind of rain that you see in a tropical climate, plenty of rain would have collected in their pot, if they would have used it. Having the pot clean enough to collect drinkable water in it would have been the real challenge. Here is a novel idea: build a shelter over your fire. Hey! Good idea! >   Top
